Hidden Gems: Meet Natalie Butler of Dribble Pops LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalie Butler

Hi Natalie , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
It started on a hot June day in 2021 when I was eating frozen blueberries and sharing with one of my three dogs. From that came a question of how could I make a frozen fresh dog treat and how could I make it just a little bit different? Why not make a popsicle treat for dogs that could be a quick shared moment between pet and owner. My dogs loved it! From there Dribble Pops LLC was born. It grew into three different flavors, blueberry, watermelon and apple. I started selling in May 2024 at the Frankenmuth Dog Bowl. In
June we got into The 4 Paws Market in Waterford. Throughout the summer my parents and I went to different dog events throughout Oakland County. We started seeing the same vendors and friendships started to form and without those friendships I wouldn’t be where I’m at now, I’m very grateful.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been a fairly smooth journey thankfully. There has been some bumps though. One bump has been finding events to go to with enough time to apply and prep for. There were some that I didn’t hear about until it was day of and unfortunately Dribble Pops missed them but I noted them down to keep an eye for next season. A small bump was finding community. This was my first year selling at events so I wasn’t sure what the community was like. When I started going to more events and recognized the faces of other vendors it got easier to connect and it wasn’t a bump anymore but a boost. Put yourself out there and just say hello to others, those hellos will start to be easier and easier, before you know it friendships will form amd then you won’t feel alone anymore.

We’ve been impressed with Dribble Pops LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Dribble Pops LLC is frozen, fresh fruit popsicle for dogs. We offer 3 different flavors: Apple, Blueberry, and Watermelon. Dribble Pops LLC also sells a multi-flavor box of 12.

There are no added sugars. Not made from fruit juice or fruit concentrate. No dairy.

We strive on providing all natural hydrating popsicles to every dog on a hot day, after a walk, or a day at the park.

What sets Dribble Pops LLC apart from other frozen dog treats is that our product is a popsicle not a pupcup. We also provide a 2 minute moment between you and your pup. Dribble Pops LLC is here for your convenience.

Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
My friendships with other pet industry professionals has been my biggest resource!
