Dogswell
Dogswell Functional Treats for Healthy Lives
Dogswell was founded in 2004 by Marco Giannini with a very specific goal. His German Shepherd, Emily, suffered from hip dysplasia, a painful joint condition. Marco hated forcing her to take pills, so he had a brilliant idea: why not put the medicine inside a tasty treat? He created the first jerky treat with added vitamins and supplements. This simple idea launched a whole new category of "functional" pet treats that taste good and do good.
The brand's philosophy is simple: keep pets happy and healthy. They believe that every treat should serve a purpose. Whether it is helping with stiff joints, shiny coats, or a strong immune system, Dogswell products are designed to solve problems.
Dogswell is for pet owners who want their dogs to live their best lives. It is perfect for people who want to give their pets a reward that is actually good for them. If you have an older dog with aches and pains or a puppy that needs a health boost, Dogswell has a solution.
Why Dogswell Works
Functional Benefits: Every product is "functional," which means it has a job to do. The treats are packed with supplements like glucosamine for joints or flaxseed for skin health.
Real Meat First: The main ingredient in their treats is always high-quality meat like chicken, duck, or beef. This makes them irresistible to dogs, even picky eaters.
No Fillers: You won't find corn, wheat, soy, or added sugar in Dogswell treats. They leave out the junk so there is more room for the good stuff.
Safe Sourcing: The brand takes safety seriously. Their products are made in facilities that follow strict safety rules (SQF certified) to ensure every bag is safe for your pet.
Pill Alternative: For many dogs, eating a delicious piece of jerky is much better than swallowing a pill. This makes it easier for owners to give their pets the supplements they need.
Top Dogswell Formulas
Happy Hips® (Joint Health)
This is the product that started it all. These jerky treats are made with real chicken or duck and are fortified with glucosamine and chondroitin. These are the same ingredients humans take for joint pain. They help keep dogs moving comfortably as they age.
Vitality (Skin & Coat)
These treats are designed to make your dog look as good as they feel. They are packed with flaxseed and vitamins A and E. These nutrients help soothe itchy skin and make fur soft and shiny.
Immunity Defense
A strong immune system keeps dogs healthy. These treats include antioxidants like Vitamin E and turmeric. They help your dog's body fight off sickness and stay strong.
Nutrisca® (Food)
Dogswell also makes food! Nutrisca is a grain-free diet that skips potatoes and tapioca, which can spike blood sugar. Instead, it uses chickpeas and peas for steady energy. It is great for dogs with food sensitivities.
Soft Strips
For older dogs with missing teeth or tender gums, the Soft Strips line offers the same great health benefits in a softer, easier-to-chew texture.
Supporting Products
Dental Jerky: These chews have a special texture that helps scrub teeth while the dog chews. They include mint and parsley to freshen breath.
Gut Health: Treats with probiotics (good bacteria) to help with digestion and tummy trouble.
Energy Boost: Formulas with extra protein and vitamins for active dogs that need fuel.
Catswell: A line of functional treats made just for cats, focusing on things like hairball control and joint health.
Mini Jerky: Smaller pieces of the famous jerky, perfectly sized for small dog breeds.
Treats with a Purpose
Dogswell changed the way we look at treats. Before Marco and Emily, a treat was just a snack. Now, it is a way to help your pet live a longer, healthier life. By combining real food with real medicine, Dogswell makes taking care of your dog the best part of the day.
