Made in KC: The Story Behind Our Two Kitchens

Made in KC: The Story Behind Our Two Kitchens

Dog Mom Club isn’t just a dog treat brand — it’s a Kansas City story.
A story shaped by two neighborhoods, two kitchens, two dog moms, and the four pups who inspired everything we bake.

Every treat we make comes from Overland Park, Kansas and Riverside, Missouri — two places where dog-mom energy, small-batch baking, and clean ingredients come together to create something special.

Here’s how our two kitchens became the heart of Dog Mom Club.

It Started with Two Dog Moms (and a LOT of Treats)

Dog Mom Club was created by Jessie and Leia — two friends, two dog moms, and two people who care deeply about clean ingredients and happy pups.

Jessie bakes from her home kitchen in Overland Park, KS, and Leia bakes from her kitchen in Riverside, MO. Together, we test, refine, and perfect every recipe until it earns approval from Doug, Winston, Lucy, and Layla.

We don’t outsource.
We don’t mass-produce.
We don’t use fillers.

We bake with intention, and our homes are part of that story.

Overland Park: Where Warm Batches Come Out of the Oven

Jessie’s Overland Park kitchen is where many of our baked classics are crafted.
If you’ve tried:

  • Beagle Bagels (our peanut butter bagels)

  • Pumpkin Bagels

  • Fresh dog cakes

  • Fresh baked cookies for our “Barkery” case

…there’s a good chance the batch was handmade at Jessie’s counter.

Overland Park is where:

  • new batches are prepped

  • ingredients are measured intentionally

  • Doug supervises from the doorway

  • fresh treats cool on the rack before market mornings

It’s cozy, it’s warm, and it always smells like peanut butter, pumpkin, and dog-mom magic.

Riverside: Where Creativity Meets Recipe Development

Across the river, Leia is busy developing recipes in Riverside, MO. Riverside is where innovation lives. It’s the birthplace of:

  • Winston’s Woofles (our cheddar treats)

  • Lucy Loopies (apple + beet + spirulina)

  • Graffles (our breath-freshening treats)

  • Dog-safe cosmic brownies

  • A growing collection of seasonal and experimental micro-batches

Every trial batch receives judgment from Layla, the rescue pup who inspired Leia’s children’s book The Odd Dog.

Layla is the queen of recipe approval. If she wiggles with excitement — it’s a keeper.

Why Two Kitchens Make Us Stronger

Most dog treat companies bake everything in a single warehouse or outsource to a factory.

Not us.

Two kitchens allow us to stay small, fresh, and deeply connected to Kansas City.

Two kitchens mean we can:

Bake More Fresh Batches
Instead of massive industrial runs, our treats are baked in pup-sized quantities. Fresher inventory = better flavor.

Develop More Creative Recipes
Two minds, two spaces, and endless possibilities. Seasonal flavors and new ideas happen naturally.

Serve More of the KC Metro
Overland Park + Riverside allows faster local pickup, more community connection, and deeper KC roots.

Stay Connected to Our “Why”
This started with our own pups. Keeping production in our homes reminds us daily who we’re baking for.

Clean Ingredients Tie Everything Together

Even though we bake in two locations, our standards never change. Every batch from both kitchens uses:

  • oat, almond, or whole wheat flour
  • natural peanut butter
  • apples
  • pumpkin
  • carob
  • honey 
  • coconut oil
  • cheddar cheese
  • beet root and blue spirulina

No fillers like “dried bakery product.”
No preservatives.
No artificial dyes.
No shortcuts.

Two kitchens.
One clean-label mission.
