"We started Oh Norman! because of one simple truth – I just love dogs and believe they deserve to live the healthiest life possible," said Cuoco. "My goal was to create high-quality products that dogs and their people would love. Everyone on the Oh Norman! team, including our investors, share that same passion, and it drives everything we do. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built so far and how we've been able to make a difference in the lives of dogs and their owners!"
