I met Wendie Patrick in a Facebook group for pet businesses where she was looking for retailers to sell her products. I liked the sound of what she had to offer, and had our head office take a peek at her products. Long story short – the products were approved and are now available in both our Legacy and Copperfield Tail Blazers locations!
Wendie was one of the first sponsors to step up to sponsor the Yamnuska 2022 calendar. I must admit – I get all the feels when businesses work together like that!!
About Finnessiam Health and Dogs of Pride
