Our Story

Inspiration...

Theodore is the official taste tester and inspiration behind Pup Pawnaderia, but most importantly, he is the puerquito to my cafecito! 

Theo is a 12 pound pomeranian-husky mutt, a pomsky. But do not let his size fool you. He is a mighty, energetic pup with lots of charisma. He has a huge personality and is not afraid to show it! Theo loves meeting people and making new furiends at the park. He loves playing fetch, rain or shine. But his absolute favorite is tasting every treat and giving it his paw of approval!

An idea in the making...

Shortly after joining the family, Theo began to develop food allergies and sensitivities as a puppy. After countless visits to the vet, trying almost every food out in the market, we had very few answers. We began an elimination diet and slowly started to narrow down his allergies. We also came to the conclusion that foods and treats with minimal processing were very important for healthy poops.

I found myself spending more and more time analyzing dog food and treat labels. I wished for more transparency. I then found myself baking fresh treats at home, feeling relieved knowing exactly what ingredients went into those treats. I quickly came to realize how difficult it was to find treats I felt comfortable feeding to Theo. And even more difficult, finding a brand that spoke to me as a first generation Mexican-American.

And right there and then, Pup Pawnaderia was born.

We are...

Pup Pawnaderia is an artisan dog bakery inspired by the colorful traditions of the Mexican culture. We hope to share the warm hospitality of my Mexican heritage with all of you!

Our goal is to create not only delicious treats, but nutritious treats that can add to a healthy doggie diet. We focus on small batch, all-natural treats that contain no added preservatives, chemicals, dyes or artificial flavors.

We take pride in using the highest quality human-grade ingredients, so we can guarantee only the best treats for your pup. We would never include anything we would not eat ourselves. We believe fresh and wholesome ingredients are key to happy and healthy pups!
