Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Walsh.

Hi Rachel, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

I first came up with the idea of Replenish Dog Water Supplement one hot Houston day when I was at the dog park with my dog, Sammy, and he became overheated and dehydrated. It was at that moment I realized there needed to be a safe and effective method to rehydrate dogs to prevent them from having a heat stroke and having to go to the vet.

That experience inspired me to research what nutrients have been proven to effectively help canine athletes recover faster after activity and to enhance their performance. With my background in Biochemistry and veterinary medicine and my experience as an All-American track athlete, I developed the ideal formula to rehydrate, re-energize, prevent injury, and improve your dog’s performance which I named Replenish.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?

Replenish Dog Water Supplement has taken off much faster than I ever expected! I am elated by the amount of dogs that are enjoying Replenish and seeing the beneficial effects of giving it! The past year was pretty tough due to the constant delays we experienced with our new production orders due to COVID. I was distraught when we completely sold out of product in the early summer months and there were so many dogs that needed my product. Now the manufacturing company has just completed our order so we are ready for sales again and available to help the dogs that enjoy Replenish!

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?

I am a small animal veterinarian in Houston, Tx and I am also finishing school to be a certified animal chiropractor. With the addition of chiropractic education, I love that I now have multiple options to help heal my pet patients and am constantly amazed by the instant relief I can provide with just a chiropractic adjustment! On the side, I created Replenish where my goal is to provide unique and beneficial natural remedies to help keep my dog patients as healthy as possible.

My largest product, Replenish Dog Water Supplement, has provided benefits to so many canine athletes and I am excited to watch this part of my business continue to grow. I have also had much success with my Natural Paw Healing Solution and am excited to launch a few more new items soon!

Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?

One of my favorite memories is feeding the ducks at the duck pond in Meyer Park with my family. It was a quiet and peaceful little place but was a lot of fun to run around and play with the ducks with my brother. It’s funny how the most simple and inexpensive experiences are some of the best ones when you are a child.
