About Us & The Chef's Essentials

With 7 Years of Culinary education and experience, I would have never imagined having such a strong passion for dog treats. April of 2017 we purchased our first Olde English Bulldogge, A-Kohna! At our first ABKC dog show with A-Kohna, we were introduced to Young Living Essential Oils.

I DID NOT purchase anything while there, and my gosh! Did I feel stupid for that! Being the person I am I misplaced all of the informational flyers I picked up with "this lady's" information! So when I came across the Idea to start The Chef's Essentials, I HAD NO WAY OF CONTACTING "THIS LADY" (a.k.a Heather Kuzma)!  

After my purchase, I was still Skeptical.  All truth here...It wasn't until A-Kohna broke out in the worst hives I had ever seen that I fell in love with Young Living & their products, Lavender was our "lifesaver" & still is. Within a day her hives were gone, no more itching until lacerations or crying, she could finally sleep it off!

 Knowing that YLEO is 100% Pure is just an added bonus after seeing these Oils in action!

Shortly after, I started The Chef's Essentials.

my Culinary background + love for dogs + the power of Essential Oils = 

homemade all-natural organic dog treats that give every dog the opportunity to a bountiful, healthy life.

As soon as my plans were official  I gave Megan Collette a call to begin execution! Two Fur-Moms from Providence, Rhode Island trying to give all Fur-babies the best treat they can get!

And Your dog will thank you!!
