Recession Dog Days? Not Quite...

Just met with Karla Haas, President of Rudy Green’s Doggy Cuisine (www.rudygreens.com). Whatever you may think of gourmet dog food, this company is really making tracks (pun intended). Karla has such a great enthusiasm and attitude…in talking with her, you’d hardly know there was any kind of economic hiccup. Her product is in Kroger and Whole Foods stores in Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati and Nashville…amazing! She’s the type of company we are seeing more of – one that’s grown through the start-up phase, has established its product and is now looking to move into the second stage (next round of investors, expanded building and resources, etc.). And Karla is a great example of the business person who blends passion for the work with a strong dose of reality – she knows what it takes to make the product great and she understands the imperative to make money! ~Michael
