Meet Our Taste Testers 🐾 (Hint: They Have Four Legs and Very High Standards)

Meet Our Taste Testers 🐾

(Harvey & Murphy — Our Most Honest Critics)

Behind every bag of our natural dog treats is a very important team—our official taste testers, Harvey and Murphy.

They may not wear lab coats, but they bring something even better to the table: real opinions, real appetites, and very high standards.

Harvey (12) – The Wise One

Harvey is our 12-year-old Sprocker Spaniel and the senior member of the team. With age comes wisdom—and a very clear idea of what he likes and what he doesn’t.

Harvey is all about:

• Aroma (if it doesn’t smell good, he’s not interested)

• Texture (too hard? he’ll let you know)

• Gentle ingredients that agree with his tummy

If a treat passes Harvey’s test, we know it’s suitable for dogs who need something easy to chew, easy to digest, and made with care.

Murphy (5) – The Enthusiastic Reviewer

Murphy is 5 years old, also a Sprocker Spaniel, and brings endless energy—and enthusiasm—to every taste test.

Murphy judges treats based on:

• Excitement level

• Speed of consumption

• Whether he immediately asks for another one

If Murphy loves a treat, there’s no doubt about it. Tails wag, eyes light up, and the treat disappears in seconds. He keeps us honest by reminding us that treats should be fun, rewarding, and genuinely enjoyable.

Why We Rely on Taste Testers

We can talk about ingredients and nutrition all day (and we do), but dogs experience treats differently than humans. Smell, texture, and flavor matter just as much as what’s on the ingredient list.

Harvey and Murphy help us:

• Fine-tune recipes

• Balance flavors naturally (no artificial enhancers)

• Ensure treats are enjoyable for dogs of different ages

If either of them turns their nose up at a treat, it goes straight back to the drawing board.

Real Reactions Only

Dogs don’t pretend. That’s what makes them the best testers.

When a treat is a hit:

• Harvey takes his time and savors it

• Murphy wants another immediately

When it’s not?

• A polite sniff

• A pause

• And a very clear “no, thank you”

Those moments are just as important—they help us improve and ensure only our best recipes make it into production.

Why Natural Ingredients Matter

One thing we’ve noticed consistently: dogs respond differently to natural treats.

With simple, real ingredients, Harvey and Murphy:

• Show more interest

• Digest treats better

• Come back for more without hesitation

We believe dogs know when something is good for them—even if they can’t read the label.

Approved by Harvey & Murphy

Every treat we make is tested, tweaked, and approved with care (and plenty of crumbs on the floor). Harvey reminds us to think about longevity and wellness, while Murphy keeps the joy and excitement front and center.

Together, they represent what we want for every dog: health, happiness, and treats worth wagging for.
