About Us
Our Team
Co-Founder
Jennifer
Jennifer founded Doggy Snax out of a simple belief: Pets deserve treats that are both healthy AND delicious. During a career spanning two decades in the Animal Health industry, she noticed pet owners were often forced to choose between a healthy treat, or one their pet was actually excited to eat!She wanted to offer treats that were made with whole, real ingredients you can feel confident about, and omit any unnecessary additives, or artificial preservatives, many of which are not good for pets.Based near the health-conscious beaches in Southern California, Jennifer developed “Clean (Tr)eating” —where good-for-you AND yummy snacking happily coexist. Every formula is created with longevity and love in mind, and never approved until our focus group eagerly searches us for more. With Doggy Snax, treats and supplements feel good to give and have pets looking for more. Give ‘em Love. Give ‘em Snax!Jennifer lives with her husband and pets near the Pacific Ocean and loves succulent gardening, singing, and travel (when she is not spoiling everyone's pets)!Pets: Doug (aka Snoop Doggy Doug, or Doug the Wonder Dog) & Kona (bossing Jennifer every day for 20 years and going strong). Kona demanded to be the model for the Kitty Snax logo.
