Made for the dogs we love

We’re devoted dog parents making thoughtful, organic treats for the dogs who make life better. Gruffies combines nuts, seeds, and peanut butter with ingredients chosen for everyday rewards and your dog’s unique needs.

Inspired by life with dogs

For founder and CEO Jon Persofsky, time spent hiking, biking, and skiing with dogs in Whistler helped inspire Gruffies. The idea was simple: make something thoughtful for the companions who make every adventure better.

Today, our team brings together devoted dog parents and experience in pet supplements to create organic treats in Vernon, British Columbia. From everyday Original to Mellow Moments, Joint & Hip, Skin & Coat, and Gut Health, each variety starts with a love of dogs and the joy of treat time.
