History Motivated by the philosophy, "DOGS ARE FAMILY TOO!" , DOGSWELL strives to create products with functional benefits for four-legged family members everywhere.
Founded in 2004 by Marco Giannini, DOGSWELL was the first company to fortify chicken jerky for dogs. With each treat delivering a unique functional benefit, DOGSWELL has been able to take a commodity, chicken jerky treats, and diversify it by providing five distinctive formulations in pure, all-natural meat treats that now include duck breast jerky, lamb & rice treats and beef liver treats.
What won't you find in DOGSWELL treats?: NO hormones, NO antibiotics, NO byproducts, NO wheat, NO corn, NO added salt or sugar.
DOGSWELL... FOR YOUR DOG'S WELL-BEING
Our President and Founder, Marco Giannini, is a native of the San Francisco bay area and has been immersed in the entrepreneurial world all his life. His grandfather first operated grocery stores in the 1920’s, and his father has been privately practicing medicine for over 40 years. Influenced by his father’s medical background and his grandfather’s entrepreneurial spirit, Marco knew at an early age that his love for animals would set the course for his life. He attended the University of Southern California and completed his MBA with a concentration in Entrepreneurial Studies. During this time, Marco also received the Best Business Plan Award and Marcia Israel Curly Award, both in 2003.
Quality The DOGSWELL facility is designed to prevent cross-contamination. It meets the highest and most strict sanitary conditions to ensure raw meat and raw juices or contaminants do not come into contact with cooked meat at any time during the cooking or packaging process, thus, eliminating the possibility of any type of salmonella infection.
DOGSWELL and CATSWELL products DO NOT contain ANY wheat or wheat gluten. In addition, the pure jerky treats DO NOT contain fillers. The only thing DOGSWELL adds to the all-natural meat treats are vitamins and supplements. All treats contain NO hormones, NO antibiotics, NO byproducts, NO corn, NO flour, NO wheat, NO added salt, NO added sugar, NO artificial colors or flavors and NO BHA or BHT.
Our products DO NOT contain melamine or rice protein concentrate; we have verified this through our independent, third-party FDA approved U.S. laboratory.
We have USDA permits and we have permits in every state in the U.S. In addition to the permits, the department of the USDA called APHIS specifically monitors pet treats and conducts random inspections. Furthermore, we test all of our treats at an independent third-party, FDA-approved laboratory in the United States.
Every batch of our product is tested for melamine, bacteria, pesticides and other contaminants. Our products do not contain melamine or rice protein concentrate and we have verified this through an independent, third-party, FDA-approved U.S. laboratory. Our material suppliers are certified clean and clear of any contaminants. We do NOT source any of our ingredients from Import-Pinyang Pet Product Co. or Shanghai Bestro, the two facilities involved in the most recent industry issues regarding melamine in chicken jerky sold at Wal-Mart. We do NOT source any of our ingredients from Binzhou Futian Biological Technology, the manufacturer of the contaminated rice protein concentrate, nor do we purchase any ingredients from Wilbur-Ellis.
The DOGSWELL® facility is designed to prevent cross – contamination, and it meets the highest and most strict sanitary conditions to ensure raw meat and raw meat juices or contaminants do not come into contact with cooked meat at any time during the cooking or packaging process, thus eliminating the possibility of any type of salmonella infection. Moreover, we use only all-natural chicken breast. Salmonella is one of the easiest contaminants to prevent. Salmonella is killed after 23 seconds at 160 degrees.
DOGSWELL® cooks all of our chicken jerky products at 160 degrees for ten hours. While some manufacturers choose a quicker “flash cooking process” to irradiate their products,
DOGSWELL® cooks all products much longer than the flash cooking process.

My dogs REALLY enjoyed these and I love the size of them! !
2. Hal on 6/16/2012, said:
My only concern is with my golden Lab because may of the individual pieces are sized with sharp edges and I fear her not chewing the piece sufficiently and scratching her throat as she swallows it without chewing.
3. Susan on 4/19/2012, said:
Our 4 year old dog LOVES this treat. He had a leg amputated when he was a year old, and we're hoping the added glucosamine helps his extra-stressed joints as he gets older.

At first dogs did not like them but after a few days now they love them.

My toy poodle would eat a whole bunch of them at one time if I let him, but I only have been giving him 1 a day and I break it up into smaller pieces for him.

Puppy loves it, but they are a bit skinny, not fat like the chicken strips.....

My dog indeed loves these. Since discovering her allergy to chicken (& possibly other things), I've had difficulty finding suitable treats. I don't like that they contain a couple of other ingredients, although they don't seem to be bothering her as yet, but I especially don't like that they're made in CHINA. As long as that's ok with you & your dog, the treats seem to be delicious and much fresher than another brand I'd tried.

My dog loves this treat. She is sooooo picky and will eat the chicken so I was happy to see her eat the duck too. She won't eat any other treats!

Excellent treat. I like the mixture of chicken and veggies; my dogs don't like vegetables in general and this treats are a good way to make them eat some. Also, because the treats are quite chewy, the dogs are "entertained" for a longer time than with other treats.

Riley (our Golden Retriever) loves anything involving sweet potato. The added chicken just is an extra treat. Each piece is about 2 inches long, with a strip of chicken wrapped around the sweet potato strip.

These are good in place of a rawhide. You can cut them up for smaller treats or your dog can enjoy the whole thing.
