Pacific Northwest

Premium single-ingredient

The promise

The aisle is full of thin chemical chews.
You deserve better for family.

We make thick, honest, natural chews — the kind you’d confidently hand the dog who shares your sofa, your trails, and your quietest mornings.

No bleach. No whitener. No weight tricks. Just single-ingredient materials, cleaned with care, and slow-dried until they’re ready for your best friend.

The craft

How we make them

Transparency over theater. Four careful steps — no shortcuts, no chemical bleaching, no mystery middlemen.

  1. Source regional cattle

    We prioritize Pacific Northwest and western U.S. cattle byproducts — materials with a clear story and shorter supply chains.

  2. Clean with care

    No bleach. No lime whitening. Thorough, careful cleaning that preserves integrity instead of bleaching character away.

  3. Slow dry

    Time does the work. Controlled, patient drying builds durability and keeps the chew honest — never rushed, never over-processed.

  4. Pack for best friends

    Finished with quiet packaging that matches the product inside — clean, premium, and ready for the dog who never leaves your side.

“No bleach. No whitener. No weight tricks. Just honest materials, cleaned with care, slow-dried until they’re ready for your best friend.”

The story

Grown up with poodles.
Built for every best friend.

I’m Dave Lavin — lifelong poodle lover, and someone who has always believed dogs aren’t a hobby. They’re family.

After years building software and quality-obsessed systems through davvvNET Solutions, I turned that same care toward something closer to home: the treat I’d confidently give my own best friend. Thick. Honest. Worth the wait.

My Dog Is My Best Friend exists because the bond deserves better than the pet-aisle default — and because loyalty like that should be answered in kind.

“I’ve grown up with poodles my whole life. Dogs aren’t a hobby — they’re family. This brand exists because my dog is my best friend.”

— Dave Lavin, Founder

Our standard

What we promise

Honest ingredients

Single-ingredient formulas you can read in one breath. No fillers, no chemical bleaching, no vague “meat meal” mysteries.

Thick construction

We don’t thin out materials to hit a price. Heritage thickness means longer sessions and fewer disappointments.

Supervised-use honesty

We tell you the truth: size up, stay present, remove when small. Premium doesn’t mean unsupervised magic.

Batch care

Smaller runs, careful packing, and a founder who would feed every batch to his own dog first.
