Meet Shanice & Shavonda Vernon | Entrepreneurs

We had the good fortune of connecting with Shanice & Shavonda Vernon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shanice & Shavonda, what makes you happy? Why?
Knowing that me and my sister have found our puropse in life and realizing that we can turn it into a career. We were really lost in the sauce for a while, not knowing what to do as a career and be happy at the same time. So as soon as we knew our puropse it was life changing.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Basically we our a black own small business . That turn our favorite foods and snacks into dog friendly meals and treats. It’s all natural even people can eat it. We use ingredients like natural peanut butter, blueberries, oats, ground turkey and many more natural products. How did we get here , easy by failing and learning from our mistakes . Was it easy?? Hell no the hardest thing was the funding , everything else was cool, by surrounding us with the right people. They taught us about creidt and how to fund our business . The lesson we learned that it get better and just to be patient . We want the world to know that real dog deserve to eat real and healthy natural dog food.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My sister and I would like to give a big shoutout to the rapper Big Sean . We both were going through a rough patch in life with college, the business , and just juggling life as a young adult. On top of all that our car broke down on my sister birthday on the way to see the Waynas Brothers at the Houston Improv. Well we called one of our good friend Jackson to pick us up, and as we were riding he played a Big Sean song call Blessings. After the song was finish an interlude came on . It was Big Sean talking about being patience and waiting for your time to come. It was one part that stuck out when he said “You might have a thousands strikes before you hit a homerun, to see the bottom means that the top is just as real. That one line hits as hard as when we first heard it in the car that night. Shoutout to you Big Sean. We thank you !
