Meet Shannon Broderick: Creator of Dogs Eating Cake LLC

We had the good fortune of connecting with Shannon Broderick and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shannon, can you talk us a bit about why you love what you do?
I love what I do because it makes an impact. It not only makes peoples day, seeing their dogs gobble up my treats but it also gives people to opportunity to join in on the mission statement for Dogs Eating Cake. My mission has always been to be able to creative a fun platform to connect, educate and inspire the community through serving dogs in need. The best part about it is being able to meet and connect with so many different people (and dogs) in the community who share the same love for dogs as I do! It an amazing community to be a part of.

The journey of starting any business from ground zero is NEVER easy! It’s like jumping into a pool when you are not quite sure how to swim. There was a ton of learning through the process, even experiencing some bullying along the way! But the biggest thing to remember is that making connections with the people in your industry and community is so important-connection, not competition! I am friends with many other dog treat and dog related businesses that I absolutely adore and exchange ideas with. Just remember anyone can imitate a product, but they cant imitate care, love and service you contribute into crafting each one and putting it into the hands of another.

Any great local spots you’d like to shoutout?
I absolutely love checking out the local farmers & art markets! Grabbing a warm locally roasted coffee & breakfast burrito to munch on while checking out the amazing local crafts produce & products. They are all so amazing. I would recommend Made with Love Market in downtown Gilbert as one of my favorites!
