Scout & Co. Pet Nutrition
Because in the end, it really is about the company you keep.
Scout & Co. is named after my first childhood dog, a black lab named Scout. He was the beginning of my love for animals, and the kind of dog that teaches you loyalty, joy, and responsibility before you realize you're learning it.
That love turned into years of hands-on experience. I volunteered with animal shelters, worked at dog daycares, studied pet nutrition, and started my own dog sitting business in Naples, FL.
Being trusted with other people's dogs deepened my commitment to doing things the right way, with care, patience, and intention. I graduated from UCF with a degree in Business so I could build something meaningful and lasting. Not just a product, but a purpose.
Scout & Co. was born from a simple belief, that what we give our dogs every day matters. It started in my kitchen, with clean ingredients and honest treats made the way they should be.
The person behind the treats
I just want to take care of them the best way I know how.

What we believe
I have always been drawn to a more thoughtful, intentional way of living. The kind that values quality over convenience, tradition over trends, and care over shortcuts. That philosophy naturally found its way into how I make treats. Our dogs trust us with their health, comfort, and joy, and I take that very seriously.
Every treat is made with a purpose. Clean, natural ingredients, gentle on digestion and crafted to support long term health. No unnecessary fillers or gimmicks. Just honest treats made the way they should be.
This was never about mass production or chasing the latest craze. It's about slowing down, doing things right, and building something that feels like home. Dependable, nurturing, and rooted in care. My hope is that these treats don't just make tails wag today, but help dogs live happier, healthier, longer lives.
The Scout Test
Every recipe, every ingredient, every package has to pass one simple test. If the answer isn't a yes, it doesn't make the cut.
With the help of my fiance Paul, my supportive family, and the furry friends who inspire me every day, we cannot wait to bring you the very best treats, and a few fun surprises along the way. From my kitchen to your home, thank you for trusting Scout & Co. with a small but meaningful part of your dog's life.
