Local Couple Launches Natural Pet Product Line


Holden - A lot of us are inspired by our pets, but Jenny Dwyer of Holden was inspired in a big way. It all started with creating a balm for her dog's nose when it needed sunscreen.

"We just kind of came up with a concoction and we kept trying it in the kitchen different ways and finally got a recipe that worked really well," said Dwyer.

It worked so well that she and her husband were inspired to create an entire line of products. It's called Mutt Nose Best and it's made up of doggy shampoos, conditioners and scented sprays. They're all natural and all made right here in Maine.

"We try to use all natural ingredients. We get as many of our ingredients around here as we can," said Dwyer.

The line was launched just three weeks ago but it's already being sold on the web and at 26 different stores.

"There are lots of places around town and we're all the way down in to New Jersey, Pennsylvania," said Dwyer.

While these products can make your dog feel good, buying them does some good. Each month, Mutt Nose Best is donating a percentage of its profits to a different pet charity voted on by its customers.

You can check the products out at MuttNoseBest.com.

It's really to bad that Jenny and doug stole the Idea From Mutt and Jeffs grooming in orrington... The name of their line is Mutt's Magic and will be launching by thanksgiving. It has been in the works for about 1 1/2 years now.
They really have their nerve to do this to someone who was once a dear friend....... They should be ashamed of themselves.......

I wish to dispute this accusation David. I was hired by Doug and Jenny in December of 2008 as their chemist. During the early stages employment with their company I was asked to consider formulations for a pet care line. This is documented in notes in my lab book and through the research I initially performed at the time. Their idea has been in the works far longer than 1 1/2 years since my length of employment will be 3 years come the end of this year. This time length is far greater than the timeline of Mutt and Jeff's Mutts Magic line that you state.

David, You should make sure you have your facts straight before making such accusations. Especially when there are email conversations on record to the contrary of what you state, that tell a story that I am sure Mutt would not want told! These are good people who came up with an idea, worked very hard, invested a lot of time and money into this project and saw it through to fruition, they are doing a good thing and haven't done anything wrong! Leave them alone!
