Melinda Kirk, Founder and CEO of Lucky Paws

I love sharing stories of successful women! Meet Melinda Kirk, founder and CEO of Lucky Paws.

Melinda began to bake dog treats for her dogs Roxy and Zeke and the hobby quickly morphed into a full time job as friends and family began to order Melinda’s signature bone shaped Birthday Cake for pets. By the mid 90?s, operations and a fully staffed kitchen began to supply major markets across the U.S. with a variety of baked goods that were both scrumptious and healthy. Her latest innovation is a microwavable treat , inspired by her her dog Bella, who’s caricature is featured on all of the PetCakes boxes!
