How often have you completed an after-purchase survey and returned to find your suggestion was taken seriously? Yeah, us too. Or how about that time you expressed a need for something in your local store, only to receive an annoyed smile from the salesperson, who promised to “inform the manager”? Similar to a lone sock lost in the dryer, most customer suggestions vanish without a trace. So imagine our surprise when Co-Founders Jay Okeefe and Aaron Argueta informed us that Bailey’s CBD For Pets’ new No More Itchies Probiotic Dog Chews and Calming CBD Cat Chews are the direct result of customer surveys and feedback from their retail partners, including Reginald Wise from The Sun Spot CBD in San Francisco. “Reginald has been a pivotal ally in catering to the specific needs of pet owners, highlighting the growing demand for specialized cat products. This feedback directly influenced our decision to launch the Calming CBD Cat Chews, which are designed to meet the nuanced needs of feline companions… The feedback from our retail partners has been instrumental in shaping our approach to product development. There's been a persistent demand for cat-specific chews and non-CBD options, which we've now successfully addressed," says Argueta.

According to a Pew Research study, 59% of Americans believe recreational cannabis consumption should be legal for adults. The “Stoner Stigma” is falling away and cannabis consumption can be compared to drinking wine; a social ritual that relaxes you and elevates the experience. Just like fine wine grape vines, premium cannabis is carefully cultivated. Tended with care and science - the ultimate focus is on the final product for the consumer. The CDFA’s Cannabis Appellations Program (CAP) is working toward making cannabis cultivation regional designations on par with those of Napa and Sonoma Valley.
