Happy One Year With Alyssa

The creative mind and hands behind the dog food!

Today, we’re celebrating a very special milestone—Alyssa’s work anniversary with A Dog’s Odyssey!

As our Creative Director of Dog Food Manufacturing, Alyssa isn’t just a title—she’s the heartbeat behind every handcrafted raw meal that leaves our kitchen. From the moment she joined our team, her passion, precision, and heart have elevated everything we do.

Alyssa brings incredible dedication and energy to her work. She’s known for powering through 12+ hour shifts with unwavering focus and determination—always with a smile and always with the best snacks (and we mean the best). Her homemade meals are legendary. Some of favourite meals are her corned beef and garlic rice. We’ve all learned to never say no when she offers a bite.

Snacks Alyssa brings from the Philippines

Alyssa contributes more than just her diligent efforts. She brings her culture, wisdom, and stories, enlightening us about life in the Philippines, where each meal is a celebration and every gathering is a festival! She infuses our small yet strong team with a global rhythm, and believe me, that rhythm often comes with karaoke playing in the background.

We also can't overlook her faith—Alyssa offers the most heartfelt prayers asking God to help protect us always.

Alyssa, thank you for being the hand and heart behind our raw dog food, and for showing us what passion and grit really look like. We are beyond lucky to have you on this journey.

Here’s to another year of growth, good food (for dogs and humans), and big dreams. 💪🐶🌍

— With love from the whole A Dog’s Odyssey pack
