When Olive, Annah’s beloved white boxer, was diagnosed with cancer, it sparked more than a fight to save one dog’s life. It ignited the beginnings of a pet wellness movement. In this episode, Annah and Sami sit down with holistic vet Dr Heidi Ward-McGrath to unpack how a personal health crisis turned into the birth of Olive’s Kitchen, a New Zealand pet brand built on the belief that good food is good medicine.
We explore how natural nutrition, gut health, and fearless problem-solving evolved into a thriving business filling a major gap in the pet care industry. From mixing ingredients on the kitchen bench to shipping across the Tasman, We talk about creating a product that solved a problem for our own dog, and then for thousands more. This is a story of personal health, purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and the power of turning pain points into powerful business opportunities.
