Frances Jackson
Because I Love You Dog Treats LLC
Owner
My name is Frances Jackson and I live in Brighton Colorado. I am originally from Baldwin Park California and joined the US Air Force in 1988. After 23 years of service, I retired out of Lajes Field Portugal in 2011. Since retirement, I have worked for Marriott as a Manager, United Service Organizations as a Center Manager, and Department of Veterans Affairs as a Finance Analyst. I moved here in 2022 from San Diego to work for the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the MERS division. In 2023, I decided to become my own boss. I have 2 Miniature Schnauzers and 1 Toy Doll Face Yorkie. Because both breeds are prone to allergies, I decided to make their dog food and treats. That is when I decided to start my own Gluten Free Dog Treats infused with Camelina Oil. I love teaching pet parents how to give the pups the right foods to minimize illness and health issues. It is my passion to educate one dog owner at a time to extend the life of their pets and live a happier healthier life.
