Meet Coco

Whether it’s my dog or my granddog, I just cannot get enough of the Deen-family furballs. You’ve already met my three babies, as well as two of Jamie’s, so today I’m sharing with you Bobby’s baby, Coco.

Coco, Bobby & Claudia’s only child, is a one-year-old Havanese, who was given to Claudia by Bobby for Christmas last year. And Claudia loves on her like nobody’s business. It tickles me to see Claudia play with her “princesita.” And Miss Coco Deen, or Coco Chanel as I like to call her, is feisty! She loves playing with other dogs, but she’s not afraid to let them know who is boss! But don’t get me wrong—Coco is such a sweet little girl, and she’s very protective of everyone she loves.

Just like her mama, I love spoilin’ Coco and the rest of the Deen doggies. I like to give them food and treats made with love, and I thought it was about time to do the same for all my friends’ pups, too. Thanks to the good people at Hugs Pet Products, now I can!

Now there are many reasons I love Hugs Pet Products, and three of them are Katie Brewer, Barbara Davison, and Deb Whitlock, who started Hugs in 2009. Y’all know how much family means to me, so it’s only natural that I wanted to work with a family-owned and operated business when creating something for the furrier part of my family. Just like me, they were always tryin’ to make their pets’ lives a little better, so they committed to provide high-quality, unique, and forward-thinkin’ products to pets and their owners.

My Paula Deen premium select dog food from Hugs features three premium flavors: Chicken & Rice, Beef & Rice, and Lamb & Rice. Coco, being the princess she is, just adores the Lamb & Rice. Since Bobby and Claudia are very much into healthy eating, they love that it is so good for her, and Coco just loves how tasty it is! And you know what’s even better? It’s home grown right here in the US!

My premium select dog food from Hugs is now available in my General Store and at Food City in Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee, so be sure to pick some up for your own prince or princess today!

Paula Deen - As a young girl growing up in Albany, Georgia, Paula Deen never dreamed she would become an American icon. As a young mother, Paula was living the American dream — married to her high school sweetheart and raising two adorable boys — when tragedy struck. Her parents died, her marriage failed and she began a prolonged battle with agoraphobia. With her boys in their teens and her family near homelessness, Paula took her last $200, reached deep inside her soul and started The Bag Lady, a home-based catering company that marked the start of Deen's professional cooking career. With sons Jamie and Bobby delivering lunch-and-love-in-a-bag, beginning in June 1989, Paula turned her life around by sharing what she knew best, traditional Southern cooking.
