Contestant's Case to Win

Rocko's Rewards is a labor of love in honor of my 15 year old canine friend, Rocko.

In an effort to find a healthy treat for an aging dog, I developed a recipe for all natural dog biscuits. These biscuits were an instant hit, not only with Rocko, but with everyone we shared them with.

The cornerstone of our product is freshness. Most commercial products are made with a variety of preservatives to maintain a long shelf life. This led to our unique subscription service, where the subscriber's dog receives a fresh box of 32 biscuits every month.

As the baby boomer generation moves to empty nests, our pets play a larger part in not only our happiness, but also in our general well-being. For the pet owner who considers their pet a member of the family and wants the best for them, Rocko's Rewards is the answer.

With all businesses dealing with the current recession, recognition by StartupNation would give us the ability to not only continue with our committment, but also to move to a higher level of sales and marketing.

Your consideration for this award is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
