Healthy Treats, Happier Pets & Giving Back w/ GivePet
from Spandex & Wine · host Robin Hackney
What if your dog’s favorite treat also fueled a shelter dog’s second chance? We sat down with Chris and Christy Dennis, the duo behind GivePet, to explore how one small bag can create big, local change. Their promise is simple and powerful: for every purchase, treats go straight to a rescue or shelter chosen by the store you buy from, helping with daily training, socialization, and stress relief when it matters most.We dig into how GivePet crafts truly human-grade treats using rolled oats, honey, flax oil, mango puree, and applesauce, with many formulas cold pressed to preserve nutrients. They recently upgraded recipes to remove fillers and swap vegetable oil for coconut oil, keeping ingredient lists clean and purposeful. From product names and standout packaging to trusted retail partners, Chris and Christy have built a brand that pet parents recognize on shelves and feel good about supporting.The conversation also looks ahead: expanding into toys, interactive enrichment, and potential supplements for hip and joint or skin and coat health. With distribution across all 50 states and now Canada, plus a new website on the way featuring subscriptions and smarter marketing, Give Pet is poised to grow its mission without losing its local roots. Along the way, we talk about personal wellness, family routines, and why longevity and mental health shape how they run the business and the products they make for our pets.If you care about rescue adoption, clean pet nutrition, and supporting community shelters with every purchase, this story will land right in your heart.
