NutraDoodle Paws the Market with New Line of Premium Canine Supplements
NutraDoodle introduces a new line of fun yet effective supplements for dogs, with a focus on holistic, non-GMO ingredients to improve canine wellness. United States, May 28, 2025 -- NutraDoodle: Revolutionizing Dog Wellness with Premium Supplements NutraDoodle, a new and innovative brand, is quickly making a mark in the canine wellness industry with a unique approach to dog health supplements. Founded by Lisa Williams, the brand was born out of a personal need when Williams' own Bernedoodle struggled with joint and hip issues. After trying numerous supplements without success, Williams took matters into her own hands, creating NutraDoodle, a company that combines the best of nature and science to craft premium, effective, and delicious supplements for dogs. NutraDoodle is committed to offering high-quality products that cater to a wide range of dog health issues, including joint health, digestion, anxiety, and more. The brand stands out by prioritizing clean ingredients that are both holistic and non-GMO, ensuring that every product is safe, effective, and made with love in the USA. A Fun, But Serious Approach to Dog Health NutraDoodle's approach to canine wellness is both serious and fun. While many dog owners often find it difficult to get their furry friends to take supplements, NutraDoodle has cracked the code. Williams focused on creating products that not only benefit a dog's health but also taste great. The brand's playful product names—like 'Chill Dood' for calming chews and 'Regular Dood' for probiotics—speak to the fun and lighthearted side of the business. However, behind these catchy names lies a serious commitment to providing dogs with high-quality nutrition. 'The toughest part was finding a supplement that my dog would actually eat,' says Williams. 'It was frustrating, but it gave me the inspiration to create something that would work for all dogs. Our products are not only effective, but they are also designed to be tasty and enjoyable for dogs, no matter how picky they are.' NutraDoodle is also BPA-free, ensuring that every product is free from unnecessary chemicals. The brand's dedication to using only the best ingredients means that every dog—regardless of breed—can benefit from improved health and wellness. And despite its playful exterior, NutraDoodle maintains a serious commitment to delivering results. Made in the USA: A Promise of Quality and Integrity In an industry where claims of 'Made in the USA' are often used without verification, NutraDoodle stands firm in its commitment to quality. Every product is crafted and manufactured in the United States, ensuring full transparency and accountability in the production process. 'We take pride in offering a product that is truly made in the USA,' says Williams. 'It's important to us that we not only create a premium product but also support local businesses and ensure that our customers can trust where their products are coming from.' Giving Back to Rescue Organizations In addition to offering premium products, NutraDoodle is passionate about making a difference in the lives of dogs in need. Williams is actively working with several rescue organizations to donate NutraDoodle products to dogs that are struggling with various health issues, such as allergies, skin and coat conditions, and anxiety. 'I've always believed in doing good and giving back,' says Williams. 'NutraDoodle is not just about selling products; it's about helping dogs live their best, healthiest lives, whether they're a beloved pet or a rescue.' The Future of NutraDoodle With an eye on the future, NutraDoodle is looking to expand its range of products to meet even more canine health needs. Williams is eager to build the brand into a trusted name that dog owners can rely on for premium supplements that work. Her extensive background in business has played a crucial role in the successful launch and growth of NutraDoodle. 'We're just getting started,' says Williams. 'NutraDoodle has the potential to become a brand that dog owners everywhere can rely on for effective, high-quality nutrition.' As the brand continues to grow, NutraDoodle's commitment to quality, transparency, and fun will continue to set it apart in the crowded market of dog wellness.

Thermal-imaging drone helps find dog who 'bolted' because she didn't want a bath
Thermal-imaging drone helps find dog who 'bolted' because she didn't want a bath Montana didn't want a bath, so she 'bolted': Two sleepless nights later she was found hiding in the woods by Ohio police thanks to the thermal camera on a new drone. Show Caption Hide Caption Dog rescued after falling 100 feet into canyon at Colorado National Monument A dog fell 100 feet at Colorado National Monument. Mesa County Search and Rescue saved her and she only suffered minor injuries. Montana's three-day life on the lam all started because she didn't want a bath. By the time it was over, she could have used a couple. The 2½-year-old Bernedoodle — a Bernese mountain dog-poodle mix — was scheduled for some pet pampering April 1 at Posh Pooch Dog Grooming in Ohio's Springfield Township outside Akron. But Montana had other ideas, leading to a frantic search that involved social media posts, false sightings and a police drone with thermal imaging. "We had people out looking everywhere for her," Montana's owner, Tracy Mock, said. "I did not sleep for two nights." Montana's adventure began when she arrived at Posh Pooch. Sensing what was to come — she hates water, Mock said — Montana made an executive decision. A bad one. A frantic search for a lost pooch "As soon as the door was open, she bolted," Mock said. Montana headed for an auto parts store, crossing the street unscathed. It was the last time Mock saw her Bernedoodle before they were reunited April 3. The long hours in between became a blur of efforts to find Montana. Mock and her daughter canceled a planned vacation to Florida. Mock posted online about the desperate search and her first Facebook post was shared more than 1,200 times. Township Trustee Kellie Chapman, who runs Lakemore Dogs Homeward Bound, became involved and helped publicize the search for Montana. "So many lost dogs don't get claimed," Chapman said. "It's nice when (the owners) are actively looking for them." Mock and her family posted flyers at businesses throughout the community and fielded calls and messages from people who believed they'd seen the elusive dog. "The love of the community was absolutely amazing," she said. But searches by Mock family members, individuals in the Springfield-Lakemore community and others didn't recover Montana. Calling in the drone Not until the morning of April 3. Mock said she received a frantic call that Montana had been seen in a wooded area. "Everybody was saying, go get a drone," she said. Turns out, the Springfield Township Police Department had one available. It's a newer device for the department, said Chief Jack Simone, but had already proved its usefulness tracking down a fugitive. "That was a great situation where they were able to apprehend him," Simone said. "He was hiding behind a garage." Last Halloween, it was used in a big hide-and-seek event that drew dozens of students who hid from police. The drone was called upon to find the last 10 students. The drone program got heavy backing from Officer Ty Klapp, Simone said. "He actually fund-raised for the program," Simone said. "He raised upwards of $20,000." The department is still figuring out new ways the drone can be helpful, although locating a lost dog wasn't the first thing that came to mind when starting the program, Klapp said. Alone and afraid in wooded area When Montana was sighted in a wooded area on the morning of April 3, Klapp jumped into action. The drone had to stay below 100 feet because of the proximity to Akron Fulton Airport. The low ceiling forced Klapp to dodge and weave the drone around the treetops. "It took a while to search the woods," he said. But, using the infrared camera, he spotted Montana. "She was laying down and … something loud went by and she jumped up running," he said. Members of the Mock family were at the scene, and Klapp alerted Mock's sister-in-law where to look. Success quickly followed. "Everybody was ecstatic," Klapp said. "There were people who were running through the water." A heavy rain had soaked the wooded area, Klapp said. The pup who hated water had been trudging through muddy woods and had a bite on her nose, but was otherwise — physically — unscathed. Making the adjustment back to domestic life "She was exhausted," Mock said. "She laid (around) for days." But she has perked up and become more active with Stella, another family dog and Montana's close companion, Mock said. She said her dog survived a harrowing and dangerous experience. Crossing a busy road and highway without being hit by a car "is a miracle," she said. "Last night was the first time she played with Stella." Montana was mum about her experiences during life on the road. Follow Alan Ashworth on Twitter at @newsalanbeaconj.

Saving Montana: A thermal-imaging drone and lots of support find lost dog in Springfield
Montana's three-day life on the lam all started because she didn't want a bath. By the time it was over, she could have used a couple.

"We had people out looking everywhere for her," Montana's owner, Tracy Mock, said Tuesday. "I did not sleep for two nights." Montana's adventure began when she arrived at Posh Pooch on Canton Road. Sensing what was to come — she hates water, Mock said — Montana made an executive decision. A bad one. "As soon as the door was open, she bolted," Mock said. Montana headed for an auto parts store across Canton Road, crossing the street unscathed. It was the last time Mock saw her Bernedoodle before they were reunited April 3.

It was a popular event that will be held annually, Simone said. Capt. Denise Moore said the drone program has been beneficial in its short life, including the Halloween event, where the last student was particularly difficult to locate.

London leaver: 'If we had all the money in the world we probably would never have left London'
Back when he was living in London Geoff Wright's daily commute was a 17 minute cycle ride from his East Dulwich flat to central London. Today the journey to the office takes him more than an hour and costs around £40-a-day. The pay off is that by moving out to Hertfordshire he and his wife Lydia have been able to buy the kind of family home they would never have been able to afford in the capital. 'If we had all the money in the world we probably would never have left London,' says Geoff, 35, co-founder of mortgage broker Tembo. He and Lydia, 33, a marketing manager, bought their London flat just before the pandemic. And when there were just the two of them it was perfect. 'We were on Lordship Lane so we had all the pubs, and restaurants, and shops on the doorstep, and we were in Zone 2 so it was really easy to go out in the West End,' says Geoff. The problem was that the couple wanted a family – their son, Freddie, is now four months old, and they also have Barney, a year-old Bernedoodle dog (a cross between a Burmese mountain dog and a poodle). They were painfully aware that they weren't going to be able to afford a house with space for all of them in East Dulwich. 'I did look and a three-bedroom terrace was going to cost £1.2 million,' says Geoff. 'It is crazy.' Another factor to consider was the cost of moving itself. Research by moving quotes portal suggests that the average UK house move costs almost £14,000 – or just over £2,000 for first time buyers. Expenses have more than doubled in the last decade, and will leap again in April when new stamp duty rules come into force. Then Geoff's mum came up with a solution. She suggested they look around at new build houses which often come with substantial incentive packages to reduce the expense of buying. Geoff began to research locations and in 2023 he and Lydia reserved a four bedroom detached Taylor Wimpey house being built on a site just outside Hitchin in Hertfordshire. They were able to negotiate some £40,000-worth of incentives, including a contribution towards stamp duty, assistance with paying estate agents fees for the sale of their flat, which went for £535,000, and extras like free flooring. All this meant they could spend £695,000 on the family home which they moved into in March 2024. 'It is a proper family house,' says Geoff. 'I have got a home office, there is a gym in the garage, the baby has got a room, and there is a big garden.' Lydia, who had lived in London all her life, has found the transition to Home Counties living more challenging. She misses her friends and the convenience of endless local amenities, but is building up a new network by joining kids' groups with Freddie. 'The other thing is that London is actually not far away,' says Geoff. 'The distance can feel like a really long way but we can get on the Thameslink and be back at our old haunts in an hour.'

Talk About Clyde: New owners at Auxter Funeral Home
Mitchell Auxter Funeral Home in Clyde and Auxter Funeral Home in Bellevue have new owners following the retirement of long-time owners Dean and Melinda Auxter. But their high standards of compassionate care will continue forward. The new owners are Jim and Lisa Recker, of Catawba, who will change the official name to Auxter-Recker Funeral Home, pending approval by the Ohio Funeral Directors Association. The transition marks a new chapter for both families and promises to bring fresh perspectives to the community. When the Auxters planned to retire, their daughter, Hannah, manager of the Bellevue funeral home, also decided not to continue on, so they turned to their friends, the Reckers, whose boat was docked beside theirs. "The deal was sealed at a picnic table on a Sunday afternoon at the lake," Jim Recker said. The Reckers officially began their services on Dec. 1, 2024. Jim is a Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, Certified Celebrant and Licensed Insurance Agent, who had been with Grof Funeral Home in Sandusky and Gerner Wolfe Funeral Home in Port Clinton. Lisa Recker is a Licensed Funeral Director, Certified Pre-planning Consultant, Certified Celebrant and Licensed Insurance Agent. 'We are honored that Dean and Melinda have chosen us to carry on the legacy that they have built over the years,' Jim Recker said. 'Dean, Melinda and Hannah's dedication to serving families in their times of need has set a high standard, and we are committed to maintaining that quality of care while also introducing some new ideas. We are proud to remain family owned and operated.' Traditions will continue with a few additions and interior refreshing. "We are working with what we have," Lisa Recker said. Existing rooms will be converted to create a conference room area and a kids' room with activities. New draperies are being made by Sue Meggitt of Draperies by Susan in Clyde. A new website and Facebook page was created by their daughter, Madeline. The Reckers stressed the importance of sharing grief by leaving online messages of memories or condolences to the grieving family. Photos can be posted too, they said. A TV was installed to project photos of the life of the deceased. Funeral services can also be streamed for those who cannot attend. They aim to introduce community outreach programs, including grief support services and educational seminars on end-of-life planning. 'We believe in the importance of community involvement and education,' Lisa Recker said. 'We want to create a supportive environment where families feel comfortable discussing their final wishes and understand all of their available options." They have also led Camp Good Grief for children in Sandusky, Norwalk and Port Clinton. Their three-year-old dog, Stella, a Bernedoodle, is in training as a grief therapy dog. She can be available onsite by request for those who may find comfort in her presence. She goes everywhere with the Reckers, but will be always on a leash. A coloring book for children about Stella was made by Madeline, who will provide after-care services. Their son, Michael, will also be involved with the business. Residents can expect to see Jim and Lisa participating in local events and initiatives, reinforcing their commitment to the communities. 'We want to be a resource for the community, not just during times of loss, but throughout the year,' Jim Recker said. The Recker family's vision is one of continuity and innovation — a balance that many families will appreciate during their most vulnerable moments. Jim and Lisa are determined to uphold the high standards set by their predecessors while also infusing their unique approach to funeral service. The present part-time staff has been retained, they said. They will be relocating to Clyde in the next few months, into the upstairs living quarters at the home while Madeline, who is also a pharmacist, will be moving into the house next door. Jim had found the history of the funeral home, which was first started by Jesse R. Beard in 1911. Later, it was owned by B.V. Mitchell, then Walter and Melverna Auxter, the parents of Dean Auxter.
