Our Mission
Fueled by Adventure, Upcycled by Choice
Bend sits smack dab in the middle of two worlds. Head west and you’re enveloped in the mossy old-growth, towering firs, and rain-soaked trails of the Cascade mountains. Head east and you’re running through open juniper flats, sagebrush, and sun-soaked high desert. We get the best of both Pacific Northwest landscapes and our dogs live for every inch of it.
Inspired by that borderland playground and Central Oregon’s world-class craft beer culture, we handcraft small-batch dog treats built to fuel every adventure.
Every batch of Cronches starts with nutrient-dense, upcycled spent grains sourced directly from independent craft breweries right here in Bend. We dehydrate every cookie to create an irresistible, wholesome cronch that packs easily on the trail, sits well in a dog's stomach, and reduces waste in a tasty way.
Chief Taste Testers
Meet our official Chief Tasting Officers: Lola (a Mexican street dog rescue who has never met a treat she didn’t like) and Echo (an Oregon-born Klee Kai with high standards and a noticeably choosier palate).
Between begging for scritches, enduring struggle-cuddles, and leading the charge at the local off-leash parks, these two adventure pups run daily quality assurance for the entire operation. Echo brings the critical, discerning nose of a connoisseur, while Lola ensures our cronch factor and portion sizes meet the most enthusiastic rescue standards.
Every recipe is rigorously tested, scent-evaluated, and pup-approved before it ever earns a spot in a bag. If Echo and Lola don’t actively beg for it, we don’t make it.
