关于艾米莉·拉加斯和费德威尔
费德威尔将家常狗粮以方便的形式推向市场。与传统狗粮不同的是，传统狗粮由劣质原料制成，经过大量加工，费德威尔采用家常食谱，并在低温下烘烤，以保存营养成分。费德威尔的食物是由最优质的原料制成的，不含谷物、大豆和玉米，也不含合成材料（如添加的维生素和矿物质）。
2013年，艾米丽获得了女性创业挑战, sponsored by Care.com, from which she earned over $30,000 in cash and non-cash prizes. She was also a semi-finalist in Babson’s2014年B.E.T.A挑战赛.
That same year, Emily entered the market with her first product, a 5lb bag of oven-baked lamb kibble. It was carried in 14 stores in Massachusetts, and sold online. She also launched a successful Fedwell Kickstarter campaign, backed by over 200 people, and raised over $20,000 to help fund production.
In 2015, Fedwell was named one ofInc.magazine’s‘Coolest College Startups’.
Fedwell has most recently partnered with a manufacturer in the Southwest, has gone to production with its new and improved lamb recipe, and has also introduced a chicken recipe. Both are carried in 3 size bags: 5lb, 13lb, and 25lb. All are sold online at Fedwell.com, and Emily is in the process of getting her products into 50 stores in the Northeast.
