Two Locals, Leslie Doheny-Hanks and Robyn Watson-Hay Launch LOCAL DOG™ Sun Valley

A couple weeks ago Ketchum-based, LOCAL DOG™ Sun Valley biscuits began arriving on the shelves of stores throughout the valley.  The company is owned by sisters, Leslie Doheny-Hanks and Robyn Watson-Hay.  Always gluten-free, the biscuits are healthy treats that currently come in three flavors: Spinach Lasagna, Veggie Pot Pie and Pumpkin Apple Cobbler.  Although dogs are carnivorous, many suffer from allergies brought on by foods such as wheat, meat products and preservatives. LOCAL DOG™ Sun Valley biscuits are made from healthy, natural and organic ingredients such as CHIA SEEDS, KELP POWDER, RICE FLOUR, MILLET FLOUR  and various fruits and vegetables for added nutrition that make up the different flavors.  “I had a little mixed breed Terrier who broke out in skin irritations one summer” said Robyn Watson-Hay. “She scratched so much her fur fell out. We learned that she was allergic to wheat (Gluten) and beef.  Once those were eliminated from her diet, her itching and hot spots went away.” Working in conjunction with a canine nutritionist, the recipes were developed very carefully. “With canine cancer on the rise, it was important to us to create a treat that was nutritionally beneficial with no destructive additives, but still great tasting” said Leslie Doheny-Hanks.

Along with the healthy treats, LOCAL DOG™ Sun Valley’s bag of biscuits offers a special bonus.  A large, easy to read, DOG FRIENDLY MAP of Sun Valley.  With colorful icons to point the way, the physical map on one side gives you an over-view of the  DOG FRIENDLY Ketchum shops, restaurants, hotels, groomers, vets, parks,  watering holes, hikes and more. Also featured on the map is the dog fountain in the new Town Square which was sponsored by LOCAL DOG™ Sun Valley. The back of the map has a comprehensive listing of all things dogs from Bellevue to Sun Valley. With little know listings like the “Dog Communicator” and the “Hospice Hotline.” The map folds down to a handy pocket size. 

 LOCAL DOG™ Sun Valley can be found in specialty food markets, pet stores, groomers and veterinary hospitals throughout the Valley.
