Wendy Nan Rees has been involved in the pet industry for more than 25 years, starting when she founded Lip Smackers, Inc., dedicated to providing healthy, all-natural treats for dogs. The Lip Smackers bakery still operates out of the Pet Care Company in Hermosa Beach, California. Wendy created so many recipes that she was inspired to write her first book, No Barking at the Table: Canine Recipes Most Begged For. The book was so well received that No Barking at the Table 2 and No Catnapping in the Kitchen followed. Wendy then published The Name Game, a collection of celebrity essays on how and why they named their pets, along with over 1,000 suggestions of pet names. Wendy's success as an author and dog treat creator led to numerous TV appearances. She was the Pet Lifestyle Advisor on Animal Planet's Petsburgh, USA, and has appeared on the Home Shopping Network. She also wrote a monthly column called "In the Kitchen with Wendy" for Your Pet Magazine. Not one to rest on her successes, Wendy then helped to create Cedar Green, a line of all-natural pet odor eliminators. The signature product is Freshen Vac, a heat-activated odor eliminator that can be used in vacuum cleaners, dog beds, and air vents. In 2000, Wendy was diagnosed with breast cancer, which forced her to take a break from her career to focus her energy on her recovery. Today, she is happy to be cancer free and working on her Internet radio show, Wendy's Animal Talk, which airs Tuesdays at 1PM PST at www.healthylife.net. She also writes the column "Two Minute Dog Advice" for www.lovetoknow.com Her new line of natural pet products can be found on her website, www.wendynanrees.com. Wendy lives in Los Angeles with her dogs Senator, Cappy, and Little Man. See less
