2 Paws Up Barkery

2 Pawz Up Barkery is a family-owned small business driven by a deep passion for the health and well-being of pets and a strong commitment to supporting local rescues and shelters. For more than fifteen years, they have been crafting fresh, nutritious food and treats for dogs—and later, cats—with a focus on transparency, sustainability, and knowing exactly what goes into every product.

In 2019, 2 Pawz Up Barkery expanded its reach with the launch of a mobile treat trailer, bringing healthy, homemade pet treats directly to pups throughout the community. The following years were dedicated to growing the business and expanding the product line, including the addition of cat treats in 2021. In 2023, the owner made the decision to leave a 19-year career in education to pursue the business full-time, further strengthening the brand’s hands-on approach and commitment to quality.

2 Pawz Up Barkery takes great pride in using only recognizable, human-grade ingredients and clearly labeling every product so pet parents know exactly what they are feeding their animals. All products are pet-tested, feed lab-tested, and certified by the Idaho Department of Agriculture. Artificial preservatives, fillers, and additives are never used, and many offerings are grain-free or single-protein to support pets with sensitivities.

The menu includes protein-packed cookies, jerky, freeze-dried raw items, meal toppers—such as London broil, wild sockeye salmon, and bison liver—and special-occasion desserts to celebrate holidays and milestones with furry family members. Nutrient-dense ingredients like pumpkin, blueberries, cranberries, and coconut oil are incorporated for added health benefits. Whenever possible, ingredients are sourced locally from fellow farmers and ranchers connected through the Boise Farmers Market.

As the business continues to grow, a love for dogs and cats remains at the core of everything 2 Pawz Up Barkery does, guided by the belief that a pet’s longevity begins with proper nutrition.
