| Yum-O's --Need your feedback please! Ok, so something occured to me last night-- I was thinking maybe I should offer a varity bag of treats, one that's mixed with both carrot and apple flavored. Would anyone be interested in these? I got a request for one this morning, so I figured I would see if anyone else is interested in this. I also need your help on a couple more ideas I have.. 1. I want to make things that your furbabies are going to love, so what flavored treats would YOU like to see? 2. I was thinking of adding a cheese treat to my Yum-O's line...BUT it would have to be refrigerated...and I also think it would probably be better in chip form than bone shaped. It would also be made with real cheese, so I wanted to know how you all felt about that. My dog has tried cheese treats from another company, and he loves them, so I wanted to offer you all somehting like that as well. 3. Would you all like delivery/tracking numbers on your orders? I was thinking on offering this on all the packages that I'll be making from here on out. 4. Would any of you like to see treat bags offered @ less than 6 oz? I know when I order from companies, I'll get like 3 or 4 oz just to try it and see how my dog likes it. Just wondering if that's something you'd be interested in? 5. Would anyone like to see holiday shapes for the month of december?? I was thinking of offering them in holiday shapes starting the middle of november As always, your feedback is priceless! Thanks in advance

| I think tracking numbers would be great. I think that you should offer a "sample" size bc some dogs might not like it and that way the owner doesn't feel like they "wasted" a lot of money on treats that there pet doesn't like. I think it would be cook if you could do holiday shapes, and around the holidays i would just offer a special treat. Like something having to do with that Holiday. |

| I think all the ideals you mentioned would be very beneficial to your customers.Good luck! I wish the dog food companies would offer food in smaller sample size bags! |

What about if I did something like 4 treats for $1? And the customer could pick the 4 flavor?

BANNED! | How about making something with canned pumpkin, since we all have used it for diarrhea as well as constipation issues??? Seems like it would help their tummies and be a great treat!! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I think holiday flavors and shapes would be great! Cheese flavor would be great too. You could do peanut butter too. I personally don't care much about tracking #, but other do. Maybe you can have it as optional. Also, different size bags at different prices would be great too!!!! |

| Well, since my two went so crazy over the carrot ones, I'd love to see either smaller sample bags of your other flavors or a combo special Pumpkin and cheese sound good. Mine don't care for peanut butter unless it's melted on my toast - LOL!

| Thanks for the feekback guys I was thinking of doing peanut butter, but after the whole PB recall, I'm scared to give it to Mr. Biggs anymore Maybe as time goes by and this whole mess with China gets resolved. Update:: I went out and I think I've found my holiday treat flavor! Right now I'm thinking sweet potato pie W/ sweet potato and cinnamon. Opinions??? Also, I found cute raindeer baggies for the trial size I'm thinking I'll make the trial size either 3 or 3 oz... Around 40 treats?

| Have you come out with any new flavors yet? I know you were talking about some holiday flavors (like pumpkin spice) and maybe cheese too.

I actually haven't gotten to try out any new flavors due to the overly busy holiday season at work and at home (can you believe I'm still not done xmas shopping?!) I've decided that the new flavors will be out the beginning of 08. I'm shooting for the pumpkin pie flavored. The cheese flavored will be out a few months into 08 as a special limited addition flavor I will also probably (if all goes well) coming out with a special package for Valentines day, as I think there is a valentines GE. Also, I'll let you all know as soon as samples of the new flavors become available!
