Our story

Started by a mother and daughter, for one very picky dog

“Ellie's Bark Bites was born from a simple idea — that our pets deserve the same wholesome, real food we do.”

We couldn't find a treat we were willing to read the back of, so we started making our own in a home kitchen in Sparks. Ellie — the frenchie on our bag — was the first and strictest quality-control department. Everything we carry still gets chosen, weighed, packed and shipped by the two of us.

  • Family owned & run — a small Nevada business, not a big-box brand
  • Packaged in Sparks, Nevada · ingredients sourced in the USA
  • Human tested, pet approved (we're not joking about the first part)

My dog is unbelievably picky. Will they eat these?

Single-ingredient freeze-dried protein — salmon, beef liver, chicken hearts — is the strongest smell and taste a treat can have, which is why it works on pets who refuse everything else. Start with the Taster Box, and if it's a no, the Tail-Wag Promise covers you.

Are there any preservatives, fillers or additives?

None. Freeze-drying and dehydrating remove the moisture that spoils food, so nothing needs to be added to keep it shelf-stable. Biscuits are four ingredients; jerky and liver are one.

Do you make anything for cats?

Yes. Our single-ingredient freeze-dried treats — salmon, chicken hearts, cod skins and cheese bites — are cat-safe and a favourite with cat parents. Anything suitable for cats is marked on its product page.

Is this safe for puppies, seniors and small breeds?

Yes — treats are food, not medication. For small dogs and puppies, break biscuits in half or use the Training Treats ($10), which are already bite-sized. Wellness soft chews are dosed by weight on the tub.

How long does a bag last once it's open?

Every bag is resealable. Kept closed in a cool cupboard, freeze-dried treats stay good for months and biscuits for about six weeks. Ours never last that long.

What does shipping cost, and how does it work?

Shipping is a flat $8.00 anywhere in the US, and free on orders over $75. Every order is packed by hand by the two of us in Sparks, Nevada, so we get them out as quickly as we can rather than promising a cut-off we might miss — and you'll get tracking by email the moment yours is on its way.

Can I mix flavours in a box?

That's the whole point. Every box is mix-and-match across biscuits, freeze-dried, jerky and toppers — pick as you go and swap anything before it ships.
