Our story

The Dog Food Factory is an independently & veteran‑owned, small‑batch, dog treat and wellness company founded by Erik and Monica Madsen. We’re dedicated to clean ingredients, honest sourcing, and holistic pet wellness — because your dog deserves food made with the same care you’d give to any member of your family. Our story began with our 10‑year‑old dog, OJ, who developed joint discomfort that many dismissed as “just old age.” We knew we could do more for him. After creating fresh food and treats tailored to his needs, we watched him transform — running, playing, and moving like a puppy again. That moment inspired us to help other dogs feel their best, and ultimately led to the creation of The Dog Food Factory. We partner exclusively with independently owned farms to source organic, glyphosate‑free, pesticide‑free, hormone‑free, antibiotic‑free, pasture‑raised ingredients. Even our water is purified through reverse osmosis to ensure total integrity. Every recipe is crafted with guidance from holistic veterinarians, giving our treats exceptional quality, transparency, and purpose. Our treat lineup includes four varieties: three focused on targeted wellness — digestion, joint support, and immune support — plus a fun, flavorful breakfast‑inspired treat that dogs love just as much as the healthy ones. And we’re just getting started. In 2027, we’re expanding our wellness line with holistic toppers and supplements designed to support even more areas of canine health. We’re also branching into clean, functional cat treats, bringing the same level of integrity, transparency, and nutrition to our feline friends. Your pets deserve better — and we’re committed to delivering it.
