The new year kicks off with a fresh name and a mission to make life easier for pets and their people. We welcome TV contributor and product expert Dawn McCarthy—along with her rescue pup Josie—to unpack why real, hydroponically grown grass is transforming potty training, enrichment, and daily routines for busy households. From high-rise apartments and rainy-day holdouts to first-time pet parents learning the ropes, we dig into simple, safe solutions that actually stick.

Dawn takes us inside the world of live TV segments, major expos, and product vetting, sharing what wins on camera and why authenticity beats gimmicks. She also highlights a growing truth: Fresh Patch isn’t just for dogs. Indoor cats loaf and “make biscuits” on real grass, bunnies enjoy safe enrichment, and small pets explore new textures—all without the heat, odors, and potential toxins linked to artificial turf. We break down the essentials, including go-here training spray, lemongrass stay-fresh spray, plastic trays, and wood sleeves that blend with any space.

We also open the warehouse doors and talk scale—lightweight boxes with hand holes, consolidated bundle shipments, and the operational rhythm behind serving roughly 14,000 subscribers. Most importantly, we share how Fresh Patch partners with local rescues so puppies and adoptees learn on real grass from day one, easing the transition home and reducing returns for potty issues. That’s convenience with a conscience, and a big reason our community keeps growing.

Want practical tips for appearing on TV or pitching your product? Dawn shares set planning, wardrobe choices that keep the spotlight on the product, and animal-friendly on-air tactics. Stick around for 2026 plans: more visuals, more education, and more species-inclusive ideas that bring the outdoors in. If you care about clean homes, calmer training, and better outcomes for shelter pets, you’ll feel right at home here.
