The 150lb Inspiration

Canine Candy didn’t start with a business plan. It started with Titan—a 150-pound Saint Bernard who was equal parts "lovable idiot" and "geological event."

Titan was a massive soul with a sensitive system (he lived with epilepsy). When you have a dog the size of a linebacker, you start paying attention to the fuel you put in the tank. We looked at the back of the "premium" treat bags and saw a horror show: Fillers. Preservatives. Mystery slime.

We realized the industry was charging us for sawdust and calling it food. Titan couldn't eat that junk, so we decided to make something that didn't suck. He is the reason we are obsessive about barley spent grain. He is the reason we don't settle.

Barley Only. No Fillers. No Bull.

Spent grain is an incredible resource, usually destined for livestock feed. We saw a better use for it. But we also saw that the nature of brewing—changing grains for different beers—creates inconsistency. A "spent grain treat" could be corn, wheat, or soy depending on the brew schedule.

We don't like surprises. And neither does your dog's gut.

That’s why we established a strict protocol: Barley Only. We only pick up when the mash bill is pure. By stripping out the variables and using Coconut Flour as our binder, we created a biscuit that is hypoallergenic by design, not by accident.

The Baker and the Fart Joke Specialist

Juliana is the Firewall. She runs the engine room, formulation, and quality control. She works directly with the local brew masters to ensure we only get the fresh, single-source Barley. If a biscuit doesn't meet her fanatical standards, it doesn't leave the kitchen.

Cody is the Vibe. As our self-appointed "Chief Fart Joke Writer," his job is to make sure we never sound like a boring pet food company. While Juliana focuses on gut health, Cody focuses on gut laughs.

The Mission. We believe in paying our dues to the Colorado community. That’s why we created the Rescue of the Season program. A portion of every sale goes directly to local rescues—because helping dogs find homes is cooler than any profit margin.

We don't use focus groups. We use tyrants. Every batch has to pass the desk of our rigorous compliance officers:

Filipe (The CEO): A Chihuahua with a Napoleon complex and a notoriously sensitive stomach. He is our "Canary in the Coal Mine." If a recipe isn't perfectly clean, his gut knows immediately. If it stays down, it ships.

Rex (The Intern): A Shar-Pei/Mastiff mix with a passion for counter-surfing and eating unauthorized objects. Rex is the stress-test. He proves our functional benefits work—because these biscuits are the only thing that resets his system after he eats a pinecone.

We didn’t launch Canine Candy Biscuits to fill shelf space. We did it to fill a void in your dog’s diet. We believe your co-pilot deserves a reward that functions like actual food, not just empty calories.

When you grab a bag, you’re making two bold moves:

• Fueling the Gut: You’re ditching the fillers for upcycled barley spent grain—a clean, fiber-rich nutrient source that respects their digestion.
• Backing the Underdogs: You’re directly supporting our Rescue of the Season. Whether it’s through your purchase or our market donations, you are helping us clear the shelters right here in Colorado.

Your dog isn't just a pet, and these aren't just treats. It’s time to feed them the good stuff.
