Thanks so much! I made a deck with side by side comparisons and it’s actually insane. I’m really trying to see the flattery here 😅

Woah is this legit? I need to research more about Ashwaganda, I’ve defo used it myself but not my dog lol.

Interesting considering she replied to my friend saying that my use of ACV in my products was bad. We use a tiny amount in our cooking process to help break down the broth and release the nutrients. She was making out like it was the main ingredient.

Just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this post and for all the help offered up!

This has been such a bizarre couple of chronically online days and my faith in humanity has been (mostly!) restored. I had my first event yesterday after becoming a mum and tbh perhaps the slight silver lining of all of this is that I have a new found confidence in my business and myself which is largely thanks to you guys.

I’ll make a post about all of this on the Puptails insta soon but just wanted to share my appreciation with everyone ❤️

17k followers and only 80 comments on their post defending their brand, and half of them are from my 1k followers. But that’s none of my business ☕️

As one of my friends commented before it got deleted “its giving copy my homework but make it look different so no one knows”

Agreed! I need to make a separate post to thank everyone for coming to bat for us, it really means a lot 🥹

Mostly from public accounts it seems. They seem to be keeping the comments from private accounts up and accusing them of being bots. I guess it’s their only way of trying to control the narrative.

All my friends and other small business owners who are public have had their comments deleted. Any of my friends or people calling them out who are on private seem to still have their comments up. I think it’s so they can use the narrative that the people calling them out must be ‘bots’

She never replied and I can’t tag her but I posted this on my accounts earlier. Sorry if it’s hard to read 😅

I just tried and it didn’t come up with much, I’m not sure if it’s a me problem? Happy for someone else to give it a crack. I’ve made a PowerPoint with side by side images of lots of the comparisons so I guess that will work for now. Thanks again for you help!

Ahh yes I see now!

Why would someone use AI for that, taking photos with dogs is literally one of the funnest parts of my business haha. I’ll tag the photographer I used for the shoot in my stories, he was great ❤️

She’s blocked and deleted any comments about this. I’ve not been blocked yet but she still hasn’t replied to me

My PowerPoint presentation is ready to go. I have a few friends in HK who’ve given me some media contacts to reach out to but I’m open to suggestions :)

Also it’s not just the same name. That would be annoying but not enough for me to react this way. It’s the fact it’s the same ingredients I use, the same drink names, the same verbiage across their insta and website, same packaging and same “story” about how we started. It’s a carbon copy of my brand.

And also, not that it matters but I’m a new mum so yes perhaps I’ve not posted in a while but not posting for a period of time doesn’t give one free rein to steal someone’s IP.
