Frustrated with the chemicals in dog flea-products, three Oregonians have founded Mad About Organics.
Sue Smith, Elana Hoerter and Ben Hoerter grew frustrated with the unpronounceable chemical ingredients in their dogs’ flea medicine, so they decided to do something about it.

Once the group found the right combination of ingredients to make what they considered a quality product — “It’s like baking a cake, you just have to remember to write down the recipe,” Smith said — they began selling their product at the Saturday Market.
