OUR STORY
We're Vermont Dog Eats and we make certified organic dog treats with locally-sourced and people-grade ingredients. Our all-natural dog treats are mixed, baked and bagged by hand at our bake shop in Montpelier, Vermont.
It all began one day when we decided that rather than buying dog treats with ingredients we couldn't pronounce, we would buy locally-sourced, healthy & organic foods and make them ourselves. We started sharing them with friends, neighbors, and eventually the greater community at our local farmers' market. Before long we were working with area store owners to spread the love to the slobbery masses. The rest, as they say, is history! We're happy to make a product that makes dogs happier and healthier, and we're glad that owners can give their furry friends food that is just...food.
We have a network of local farms and partners that offer us access to some of the finest food around and as a result our dog treats are made with entirely real, human-grade food and absolutely NO wheat, soy, meals, sugar, byproducts or preservatives. We believe that good dog eats are vital to the health of our furry friends.
As proud parents of two rescue dogs and a few foster pups ourselves, we can’t say enough about the work done by animal rescue groups. That's why every year we donate 2% of our profits to local animal rescue/welfare organizations. In short, we're happy to support the great community that supports Vermont Dog Eats and our furry friends.
Our Inspiration
Napoleon (AKA Pookerstiens) our feisty old Chihuahua
Ginger (AKA Gingyfuss) our beloved pitty
Napoleon, our OG taste tester and feisty chihuahua, lived to be nearly 15 years old...and we like to give our treats some credit for his longevity! His favorite activities included hiking Camel's Hump and other area mountains, cleaning up toddler-flung food scraps and lounging in the sun.
Our rescue pitbull, Ginger, wasn't too far behind Napoleon in age, and lived to be 14 years old. She loved people and dogs of all shapes and sizes, and was certified with Therapy Dogs of Vermont. As so many of you know, she was often our faithful companion at the Burlington Farmers' Market.
