Today we’d like to introduce you to Ward Myers.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I had bought the company in 2018, it was a small dog toy company with 12 items and very little revenue. Since, we have 50 folded the revenue and have over 200 products. These products include 100% sustainable toys, tough plush toys, treat dispensers, made in USA toys and we also own a all-natural bakery where we make dog treats. Our treats vary from fun flavors and shapes, like bagels and bars. We offer over 12 different flavors of treats and a nice assortment of holiday items, such as a treat advent calendar, Chew- Cuterie boards and frosted cookies.
We also teamed up with Folds of Honor and create a line of treats where part of the proceed go to scholarships for kids who have lost a parent lost in military action and first responder families.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not always smooth, tariffs hurt many retailers and delayed adding new items and raised out cost. But for the most part, we have seen a lot of growth, due to our innovation and relationships with our retail partners.
We’ve been impressed with Lafayette Bay Products, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We manufacture a line of dog toys, All Natural dog treats, lick pads/slow feeders and holiday treats.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
The pet industry is growing, we see humanizing of pet as a huge trend and people continue to look for healthier and interactive products for their dogs and cats
