In this inspiring episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni sits down with Ava Dorsey, the founder and CEO of Ava's Pet Palace — a thriving pet treat company she started when she was just eight years old. Now 18, Ava shares how her childhood love for animals and passion for healthy ingredients grew into an award-winning, USDA Organic brand with nationwide retail presence.

Ava talks about drawing her first "job plan" at age six, making tuna treats for her cat Pumpkin, and how family support and social media helped her business take off. She and Toni discuss her journey from baking treats in her kitchen to working with co-manufacturers, exhibiting at Global Pet Expo, and getting into major retailers like Meijer and Erewhon—all while staying committed to small, independent pet stores.

They also dive into the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with school, the power of staying true to your values, and Ava's advice for other young entrepreneurs: "Comparison is the thief of joy."

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni talks with Amadeus and Tamaris, founders of Chocolate Detox for Dogs, the world's first over-the-counter chocolate neutralizer for pets. After nearly losing his dog to chocolate poisoning, physicist and patent attorney Amadeus created a safe, science-backed product every pet parent should keep in their first-aid kit.

They discuss how Chocolate Detox works, why minutes matter after ingestion, and how vets are embracing it as a practical, affordable solution. The conversation also covers new products on the way, including grape detox, THC detox, and Safe Lick, a paw wipe that neutralizes lawn chemicals linked to cancer in dogs.
