The Backstory Behind Arogya Paws!
A lot has changed for me in the last year.  Following an unexpected move, my dog became sick and was unable to keep food down.  After multiple trips to the vet, x-rays and a recommendation to a very expensive specialist who was going to look for physical abnormalities, I wondered about home remedies or herbal treatments.  The visit with the specialist had been scheduled for multiple weeks out and I wondered if she would make it that long without a significant deterioration in her health.  I began looking for a plant based supplement that might help her, as I was sure her illness was more related to the anxiety of an abrupt change in both her home environment and a reaction to the stress that I was experiencing.  I quickly found that there weren't a lot options for pets.  My husband recommended that I try an herbal remedy often used by humans......and she got better!

A "Coincidental" Conversation
A few weeks later I had a conversation with a friend from Cape Town, South Africa.  Serendipitously, he shared a story about his own dog, Kali.  His mother had a health condition and started taking an herbal remedy created by a masterful herbologist in South Africa. She had gotten better with this tincture and had started giving it to Kali, who then also showed improvement in her mobility.  I was intrigued!

Identifying a Need
Given our own belief in the value of a plant based diet and my recent search for herbal remedies for pets, I dug deeper into what was actually available for animals here in the United States.  I personally take herbal supplements to support my own health, as opposed to only relying solely on Western medicine, and wondered what was available for my own dog. To my shock, not only are there
very few options in terms of tinctures for pets, there are are crazy ingredients in many of the products, some include such things as Borax (not joking - check the labels).

Gratitude for My Pet and Those I Have Met Through Her
My dog has been my constant friend, both during COVID and then during a tumultuous life transition.  Her name is Savi and she is a Golden Doodle who is way more Poodle than Golden Retriever.  During a very isolated time in a new community, she introduced me to the parents of her new friends here in Mount Vernon. Friends like Wrigley, a Golden Retriever who she will hunt down at our local park, and Ari, a Pitbull - Staffordshire mix whose mom kept us company all winter in the rain and dark when no one else was around.  The value of having a fur companion has been priceless.  I want Savi to have a long and healthy life, and her friends as well.  If it takes starting my own supplement company to make sure she has access to quality and affordable health support, then I am in!

Taking on a New Adventure!
After several conversations, and using the knowledge and resources from an established family that had been creating herbal supplements for decades, Gareth decided to add a pet line to his own blossoming supplement business he was growing in the UK and in Europe.  (If you are in South Africa or the UK, you can find several products at Arogya Paws in South Africa). I initially thought I would import the supplements and simply sell them here in the states.  After hours of phone calls and talking with professionals, such as the head of the National Animal Supplement Council (thank you, Bill!), I realized it was probably best to manufacture our supplements here in the United States.

Our Start Up Partners - Ensuring Quality
With help from the Small Business Development Center in Mount Vernon, my accountant (thank you Greg), and a lot of research into supplement manufacturing, we decided to partner with Yellow Emperor in Eugene, Oregon.  They specialize in herbal tinctures, source high quality organic herbs and are able to make sure that our tinctures will be Oregon Tilth Organic Certified .  We are starting with THREE products: one for inflammation/mobility, one for kidney health and one for calming/relaxation. All of the formulas are proprietary creations designed with the support of a family from South Africa who has over 40 years in the supplment-healing industry and an animal specialist. The herbs are being sourced as we speak and the research and development process should begin with the next few weeks.  Our timeline is to have the products ready for sales by October!

What about the Name?
Arogya is a Sanskrit word for whole health - health of mind, body and spirit. It is something that Gareth and I value and have strived to live.  We have also found that pets contribute to our own "arogya".  We believe it is also important for our pets to experience whole health and the major impetus behind the creation of these products. Thus, Arogya Paws is our pet supplement line (you can soon check out Arogya PureSelf for us humans!) all part of Arogya Living LLC "Supporting Whole Health for Pets, People and the Planet".

Why this Campaign?
We want people to know about this project! There is so much potential to help pets, naturally, but starting this up and having quality standards has been quite an undertaking.  Your early support through this crowdfunding campaign will support a healthy first run of production and assist us in those details we want for this product, including the Oregon Tilth Organic certification. We also want to get the word out, so please feel free to share this with your friends.  Your support is so appreciated!
