It turns out that in our decades’ long struggle to restore Lake Tahoe’s clarity, our furry best friends might be the key to saving the lake. We’re harvesting invasive Mysis shrimp and turning them into dog treats!
Environment
We’re repurposing invasive Mysis shrimp to create a tasty dog treat that helps increase Lake Tahoe’s water clarity. By utilizing Mysis, our dog treats have a lower carbon foot print and they support the lake’s native ecosystem.
Pets
Shrimply Blue puts your dog at center stage by giving them a chance to help the environment while eating delicious snacks. Life is better with our furry friends so why not include them on the action?
Nutrition
Not only are Mysis packed with more Omega 3s than salmon we’ve also added other all-natural ingredients like sweet potato, flaxseed, and garbanzo flour so you can feel confident about your pup’s diet.
What People Are Saying
“It’s incredibly smart to take something destructive & turn it into something enjoyable. Having a dog who loves seafood, I think he'll enjoy the flavor of the treat.”
— Susie Betsayed, Dog Owner
“I've been working on water quality projects in the Lake Tahoe basin for the past 20 years and this might be the most exciting project I've ever heard of… The fact we can create jobs, stimulate a local economy, use proceeds to fund research and have healthy snacks for our animals will make this a model for restoration. This could be the missing component that really turns the corner on restoring Lake Tahoe clarity."
— Russell Wigart, CPSWQ, CPESC, QSD, Stormwater Coordinator - Tahoe Basin
