Our story

Two people, one picky frenchie, and a very short ingredient list

Ellie's Bark Bites is a mother-and-daughter kitchen in Sparks, Nevada. We weigh, seal and ship every order ourselves — which is exactly why the label stays short.

Our story

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

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, and she still is.

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)

How it's made

Take the water out, and you don't need the chemistry

Freeze-drying pulls moisture at low temperature so the structure, smell and colour stay put. Dehydrating does it low and slow. Neither one fries anything, and neither needs BHA, glycerin or propylene glycol to sit on a shelf.

What we stand for

Three rules we don't bend

If we can't say it, it's out

Four ingredients in a biscuit. One in a jerky. No binders, no sprays, no colour.

Packed by the two of us

Weighed, sealed and shipped from Sparks, Nevada — usually days before your dog gets to it.

The 30-day Tail-Wag Promise

Bag opened, no problem. If they turn their nose up, we swap it or refund it.
