Founder's Note / 1: Pet Food Shoes

Founder's Note / 1: Pet Food Shoes

When I was little girl (or the “olden days” as my 5 yo calls them), my Dad had a pet food start-up and he owned a pair of shoes that were forbidden from coming in the house. These were his pet food shoes. He wore these when he visited factories, did product development, ran trials, etc. If you’ve ever been to a traditional pet food factory (not highly recommended) you’d understand why these shoes had to stay outside.

When we started NewRoad in 2015 and began developing our products I got my own pair of pet food shoes. Because we use human-grade ingredients, my pet food shoes are significantly less gross than my Dad’s were in the 1980’s but at the end of the day there is still flour, dough, dishwasher water and any number of messy substances that get on said shoes.

A really rewarding day is when you come home and your pet food shoes look like you made a lot of pet food that day. Messy pet food shoes are a kind of badge of honor. The past few months my pet food shoes have remained in my garage but this week I got to put them back on. And it was awesome.

In our tumultuous world that is now so unpredictable and often scary, putting my pet food shoes back on felt like a little personal win. And it seemed important to celebrate a win.

Thank you so much to our team, customers, supporters and friends who made it so that we get another shot at putting our pet food shoes on again and getting to work.

Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin.

Neuropathic pain is caused by damage or injury to the nerves that transfer information between the brain and spinal cord from the skin, muscles and other parts of the body. The pain is usually described as a burning sensation and affected areas are often sensitive to the touch. Symptoms of neuropathic pain may also include excruciating pain, pins and needles, difficulty correctly sensing temperatures and numbness. Some people may find it hard to wear thick clothes as even slight pressure can aggravate the pain.

Ketosis is a metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose for energy, it burns stored fats instead. This results in a buildup of acids called ketones within the body. Some people encourage ketosis by following a diet called the ketogenic, or keto, diet. This diet, which is very low in carbohydrates, aims to burn unwanted fat by forcing the body to rely on fat for energy, rather than carbs.
