About Us
WE MAKE THE TREATS YOU AND YOUR PUP CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT
It started with a search. Wanting to give our two dogs the best after finding the local pet stores had recalled all their favorite treats, we founded 2 Dogs Treats 10 years ago to provide them with healthy treats using locally sourced ingredients. Now we are happy to bring these treats to your dogs as well!
We want you to feel great about 2 Dogs Treats for your dogs, so we make all of our treats the right way, using all-natural ingredients and no preservatives...just the way you would. We are passionate about providing your family with the best and healthiest dog treats possible and we promise your dogs will love our made-to-order treats as much as you will love knowing that you are "treating" them right.

DIRECTOR OF PUP SATISFACTION
Murphy Brown, or simply "Brownage" as she is often referred, is a 11-year old chihuahua mix known for her feisty personality, much like her namesake. She also has a penchant to be first in line for dinner, treats or affection, much to the dismay of her "bigger" brothers.
