A week later, and I think it’s finally starting to sink in.

Being named Vernon Women in Business Entrepreneur of the Year is something I’m still struggling to put into words.

As entrepreneurs, we’re usually so focused on the next order, the next project, the next problem to solve, that we rarely stop to look back at how far we’ve come. Last week forced me to do exactly that.

It made me think about where Wood Mountain Naturals started. It made me think about the risks, the mistakes, the long days, the uncertainty, and all of the moments when I wondered if I was completely crazy for believing this dream could work.

It also made me think about the people who helped make it possible.

My family. My team. Our retailers. Our distributors. Our customers. Every person who chose to support a small Canadian business and trusted us with the health of their pets.

What I appreciate most about this recognition is that it isn’t really about a trophy. It’s a reminder that persistence matters. That showing up every day matters. That building something meaningful takes time.

A week later, I feel less excited about the award itself and more grateful for the journey that led here.

Thank you to Vernon Women in Business for the acknowledgement, and congratulations to all of the incredible women who were recognized that evening. I left feeling inspired, motivated, and proud to be part of such an amazing business community.

Now it’s back to work. ❤️

Fresh kale just arrived from the farm across the road! 🥬 🚜

Kale is a nutrient-dense superfood for dogs, offering an excellent source of fibre, vitamins A,C and K and essential minerals while aiding in digestion and acting as a natural anti-inflammatory.

Tonight was a reminder that no one builds something meaningful alone.

I was incredibly honoured to receive the 2026 Vernon Women in Business Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

When Wood Mountain Naturals began, it wasn’t part of a business plan. It started because our dog Zara needed help. What followed was years of learning, building, failing, growing, and refusing to quit.

This award may have my name on it, but it belongs to so many people.

To my mom Patti, who believed in this crazy idea from the beginning and continues to work beside me every day.

To my daughter Addy, who has grown up watching the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and reminds me why building a legacy matters.

To our family, team, retailers, distributors, suppliers, and customers across Canada—thank you for trusting us.

And to Zara, the dog who started it all.

Being recognized among so many incredible women was truly humbling, and having the opportunity to share the stage and participate in the entrepreneur panel made the evening even more special.

Thank you to Vernon Women in Business for this honour.

Here’s to continuing to grow, learn, and make a difference—one bowl at a time. ❤️🐾

From farm ingredients to finished food. 🐾🇨🇦

Today’s batch started with real ingredients, moved through production, cleanup, and quality checks, and ended with another day of making food we’re proud to feed our own dogs.

What you don’t always see is everything that happens behind the scenes-the prep, the cleaning, the packaging, and the long days that go into every box.

We’re not a giant factory. We’re a small Canadian family business committed to doing things the right way, one batch at a time.

Thanks for supporting local. ❤️

Which part of the process would you like to see more of?

📦 One pallet down.

While everyone sees the finished box on the shelf, there’s a lot that happens before it gets there.

Today was all about building orders, wrapping pallets, and getting ready to ship Canadian-made nutrition to dogs across the country.

And of course, quality control was closely supervised by Kali and Georgie. 🐱

Where should this pallet be headed next?

From raw ingredients to ready for your dog’s bowl 🐾

No fillers.
Just real food, made by real people who care about what goes into every bag.

🇨🇦 Canadian made.
🐶 Family owned.
❤️ Crafted for the dogs we love

Who knew we were on to something!? 🤔 Apples are included in all of our recipes! 🍎

Who knew we were on to something!? 🤔

Apples are included in all of our recipes! 🍎

Dogs🐾 benefit from something as simple as an apple🍎. A new peer-reviewed systematic review published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science highlighted quercetin, a powerful flavonoid✨ found in apples, as one of the most promising natural compounds for supporting long-term health.

Research suggests quercetin helps reduce inflammation, protect cells from oxidative damage, support beneficial gut bacteria, strengthen the gut barrier, and promote healthy metabolism, all of which are closely linked to healthier aging.

Choose organic apples🍏 or spray free apples when possible, as conventionally grown apples are among the fruits most commonly found to contain pesticide residues. Remove the seeds and core, but leave the skin on (that’s where the quercetin is) before sharing a few bites with your dog. If you’re choosing a variety, Red Delicious🍎 apples are considered one of the richest sources of quercetin among commonly available apples.

This is also one of the reasons Dr. Karen Becker chose hypoallergenic organic apple fiber as the carrier in the Proactive Paws™ formulas instead of ingredients like beef liver or cellulose. Apple fiber helps make her human grade formulas suitable for pets with food sensitivities, while also acting as a prebiotic that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and supports the production of health-promoting short-chain fatty acids.
