The Snook’s Story:

Before its inception, Patrice Snook – the company’s founder – was the manager of a well-known herbal and nutritional healing center, located in Portland. This role enabled her to develop a deep sense of understanding and expertise in herbal medicine and essential oils. Many of the customers affectionately called her ‘the dog girl’, which is a nod to her passion for canine wellness. Even after her experience with pet wellness, it took her quite a while to nurture her ideas before she finally chose to transform this into entrepreneurship.

With a limited starting budget of $400, rich ambition, persistent hard work, and an intense love for animals, she launched her business by setting up a stall at a public market in Portland on September 15, 2001. The setup was very basic, with simple displays and homemade labels. To her amazement, everything was sold out entirely during the first weekend. She was not sure if it was just luck; however, she returned the next weekend and received the same massive success. This initial recognition marked the beginning of what would become a lasting and fulfilling journey.

Today, about 22 years later, the business has evolved greatly. The products are available now in over 800 natural pet stores, veterinary clinics, and on major online platforms like Amazon and Chewy. The journey from those early times to the current overwhelming success has been phenomenal. It’s surprising to reflect on how a single Jack Russell’s impact has led to such a notable and meaningful enterprise.

The journey has instilled a sense of purpose and fulfillment in her life. The heartfelt testimonials, cards, emails, and phone calls from the customers become a constant source of inspiration, gratitude, and motivation. Each interaction confirms the influence that Snook’s Pet Products has brought into the lives of pets and their owners. Every product of the company that it produces carries a story of an animal in need who was immensely cherished then, adding a layer of emotional importance to the work.

For Patrice, Snook’s Pet Products is more than just a business; it is a warm tribute to the bond between pets and their owners. It’s a reflection of the admiration and care that every product holds, honoring the memory of a special Jack Russell and the bliss he brought into her life.

SNOOK’S GREEN HONEY ALLERGY SUPPORT

Snook’s Green Honey Allergy Support, presented in a 6 oz bottle, was made with a heartfelt connection to Chichuahua and Terrier Mix, lovingly named Crabby Pants Lance, who was rescued from the local Humane Society. Lance was in a distressed state when adopted. His eyes were so heavily swollen that they were completely shut, and the skin surrounding them was sore because of multiple environmental allergies. Alongside these symptoms, Lance showed various signs of discomfort from environmental allergens. However, after introducing him to this particular remedy, Lance experienced an excellent change. He began to thrive and now suffers from minimal symptoms even during peak allergy seasons.

This specially formulated blend has proven to be advantageous for a multitude of dogs suffering from similar environmental allergies. The formula is carefully designed to address common allergens such as pollen, trees, and grasses. The main components of this blend include Raw Wildflower Honey, Organic Nettle Leaves, Organic Kelp, Organic Licorice Root, and Organic Astragalus Root, each serving its ideal healing properties.

• Raw wildflower honey is well-known for its natural ability to relieve allergic reactions by potentially benumbing the immune system to local allergens. This honey is not only a natural sweetener but also carries properties that may decrease inflammation and soothe irritated tissues.
• Organic Nettle Leaves have long been used in herbal medicine for their capability to fight allergy symptoms. They are reckoned to work as a natural antihistamine, helping to reduce the body’s reaction to environmental triggers.
• Organic kelp is included for its rich mineral content, which can strengthen overall health and the immune system. Kelp aids reduce the severity of allergic responses by ensuring that the body has necessary nutrients to combat allergens.
• Organic Astragalus Root is used in this blend for its immune-boosting functionality. It helps to fortify the body’s defenses, making it stronger to allergens and less prone to severe allergic reactions.

The recommended use of this product involves consuming it directly or mixing it into the dog’s food. For best results, it should be given twice daily during allergy season or as needed based on the dog’s symptoms. This approach confirms that the pet gets consistent support, assisting to minimize the discomfort associated with environmental allergies.

Overall, this product is a well-rounded answer to help manage the effects of allergies in dogs. It eases the symptoms and improves the well-being of the furry companion. Either used as a preventative measure or during times of acute symptoms, the product relieves and enhances the quality of life for dogs with the blend of powerful organic ingredients.

SNOOK’S BLADDER SOLUTION

Snook’s Bladder Solution, offered in a 2-ounce amber bottle with a dropper, was formulated out of deep concern for Maggie, an Australian Shepherd and Husky mix whom Patrice adopted from the local Humane Society. Maggie, regardless of her young age, faced health challenges such as hip dysplasia and incontinence. Her condition and struggles contributed to a source of inspiration, motivating her to create this product. The remedy was mainly crafted to address a number of bladder-related issues in dogs, including chronic infections, bladder stones, incontinence, and frequent urination.

The Bladder Solution is formed using only human-grade and natural ingredients, guaranteeing a high standard of quality and safety. The formula includes a combination of Bladderwrack, Uva Ursi, Marshmallow, Corn Silk, Shavegrass, Pau D’Arco, Dandelion, Juniper, and Cayenne. Each ingredient has exceptional healing properties that work together to support bladder health.

• Bladderwrack is a kind of seaweed known for its high mineral content, which can aid in soothing and supporting the urinary tract. It is used to promote overall urinary health and to minimize inflammation.
• Uva Ursi, also known as Bearberry, is well-known for its natural antiseptic properties. It helps to decrease inflammation and fight off infections in the urinary tract, making it beneficial for dogs with chronic bladder infections.
• Marshmallow root is involved for its sticky properties, which help to coat and soothe the urinary tract. This can be particularly useful in minimizing irritation and promoting healing in cases of inflammation or infection.
• Corn silk has been typically used to support urinary health by working as a diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent. It aids to ease discomfort and support proper bladder function.
• Shavegrass, also known as horsetail, provides support to the connective tissues and can help in maintaining the health of the urinary tract. It helps with frequent urination issues.
• Pau D’Arco is a South American herb known for its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It assists in fighting infections and supporting the immune system, serving overall bladder well-being.
• Dandelion is another prime ingredient, which helps flush out toxins and reduce inflammation in the urinary tract.
• Juniper berries are included for their potential to support the overall health of the urinary system.
• Cayenne is used to stimulate circulation and improve the effectiveness of other herbs in the formula.

This alcohol-based tincture is an effective method for the extraction of medicinal properties from plants. Although it is alcohol-based, the alcohol is evaporated during the preparation process, leaving behind a concentrated extract. This method ensures that a small dosage is needed for effectiveness, and it is administered by mixing it in the dog’s food twice daily.

Snook’s Bladder Solution provides an approach to supporting bladder health in dogs and keeping the natural healing properties of its consciously chosen ingredients.

Reflecting on about 22 years, Snook’s Pet Products stands as a tribute to the beloved Woody’s inspiration and the dedication to pet wellness. The heartfelt customer connections and devotion to quality exhibit the impact one cherished animal can have on a purpose-driven business.
