Our Story

When each of them  transplanted to Connecticut, my son and I assured them that their past would not define them and that they were going to live their best lives out here in the country. Lives filled with love, happiness, adventure and stability. They were going to be spoiled and never want for anything. (Just like it should be for all the pets in this world). We love them all so much and selfishly want a long lifetime of memories. and our best chance of them living forever is regular exercise, emotional wellness and a healthy diet consisting of clean eating.   

That's when we committed to educating ourselves on the very ingredients that went into our dogs food and treats.  Not liking what we were seeing and not seeing many healthy options, We decided to take matters into our own hands literally and began hand making dog treats, that way we would know what they were eating was healthy.  It was during these endless hours of hard work over the years that the dream of "Dog and Hen" came to be. Gourmet Dog Treats not only for spoiled dogs but for every dog (and cats too).    With ingredients sourced in the U.S.A. and handmade in Connecticut, we began to deliver that dream.

Our Chicken Jerky is made from 100% U.S.D.A. Boneless Chicken Breast. No steroids, No hormones, No antibiotics, ever. No artificial ingredients, No added salt or preservatives. We like simple ingredients and we like things done right. Our batches are made small, so that we maintain our strictest of standards .  We maintain a higher level of quality as a promise to our pups and yours.  Healthy ingredients to produce high quality treats for all pups to enjoy.

We didn't want to do what everyone else was doing. So our Pack Chefs here at "Dog and Hen" worked really hard at creating a "Gourmet" feed line that sets our pet treats apart from the others. We "Specialize" in "Gourmet Chicken Jerky ". That's what we do best. Our product line consists of four of our favorite marinade blends that you will find "ONLY ON OUR MENU".

Clean and healthy treats, that's our Promise from our pups to yours. In fact we know your pups will taste the difference and we know this because "Our treats are so good they will give your pup something to bark about"!

 

so we knew what they were eating  Our pack eats a nutritionally balanced raw diet and I know that is not for everyone, but it is what we choose. After watching the docu series "Pet Fooled" which was life changing experience, we knew we had to do better for our family. How could we not - now that we were aware of what really goes into making commercial pet "food".

As for treats, we didn't like what we saw, most of the options were pumped full of preservatives and artificial ingredients. We decided to take matters into our own hands.. literally and we began hand making dog treats. This was the only way we would know exactly what they were eating was  healthy. It was during these endless hours of hard work over the years that the dream of Dog and Hen came to be. High Quality, Small Batch, Handmade, Gourmet Pet Treats. These aren't something just for  spoiled dogs and cats but what we owe to every dog and cat for the love that they give us. With ingredients sourced in the U.S.A. and handmade in Connecticut, we began to deliver that dream.

Your purchase helps us continue to support rescue organizations near and dear to our heart in the hopes that one day every dog will have a chance at a good life, never be subjected to abuse, never know what going hungry means and most importantly, have a loving place to call home.

 

We do monthly treat mailings and deliveries to our partnered rescues, animal control and K-9 officers to help put a smile on a lucky dogs face.

 

If you know a deserving dog tell us their story on our Facebook page and we will enter their name into our monthly drawing for a free Chicken Jerky treat bag.

 

We also donate and repurpose old/new dog houses to dogs who do not have adequate shelter and are forced to live life outside, to no fault of their own. If you have a old doghouse that is in good condition and wish to donate to a dog in need please message us to arrange pick up. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will be donated in your pups name.
