Specialties
Yadi's Yummies is a community-driven pet treat store in St. Peters, Missouri. Our owner, Jessica, was having trouble finding a company to hire her because of her special needs. So, she pursued her passion for caring for local animals. By owning her own business, she could also hire her friends who had the same difficulty finding employment. Together, we provide unique, homemade, and all-natural treats for dogs and cats.
We work with local shelters to help our community’s abandoned and abused animals find safe and loving families by hosting adoption events. We donate to numerous local organizations that provide medical care for dogs and cats in shelters. Whether you’re enjoying the look on your dog’s face the moment they get a treat, or you’re adopting your family’s new best friend, we’re honored to help you bond with your pets.
History
Established in 2017.
We started Yadi's Yummies so that Jessica and other individuals with disabilities would have a place to work where they felt valued. Luckily, we found a way to do this that also allows us to use our love for animals to help and connect with our local rescue community.
Meet the Business Owner: Jessica I.
Hi, my name is Jessica and I have two dogs (Annie & Yadi) and two cats (Joey & Mickey). I am a huge sports fan and especially LOVE cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Blues. I enjoy going to sporting events, horseback riding, and spending time with my family and friends. Something unique about me is that I have a rare genetic syndrome called Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome. Some people who have my syndrome face a lot of medical challenges but for me it primarily affects the way I learn. Thus, I was finding it hard to find a job that was a good fit for me. I started Yadi's Yummies for two reasons. First, I love dogs and enjoy making dog treats. Second, I wanted to find a way that I could help some of the abandoned and abused dogs I see in the shelters that don't have families to love and care for them. Through your support I can donate to the medical care of these dogs so together we can make a difference.
