We believe that all pets deserve treats, even if they are being cared for in a shelter or rescue while waiting for their new home. We know that some people just need a little help and giving their pup a treat will make them feel better as well. So we will match your purchases ounce for ounce with donations to shelters, rescues and food pantries.

You can find out more about this program here.

Our founder, Barbara Jude Frerichs, often goes down the rabbit hole on social media sites, like Instagram and Facebook, looking for rescues, shelters and food pantries who need some. She has been sending them products for a long time through our sister brands, but now we are making it official, with accountability.

If you know of a shelter, rescue or food pantry who could use some treats from the Ounce for Ounce program, send us a message with their info, and yours so they can thank you, through our Contact Us form.

Yes, our company, Relief Brands LLC is an FDA registered Food Facility. Our registration number is 12300037810. This covers pet treats and food.

Contrary to what other websites will tell you, the USDA does not regulate or license dog treat or food production facilities.

Here’s a link to their FAQs that shows their answer.

We would not use any ingredient in our products that is not sold to be consumed by humans. This means fresh produce and meats that are USDA grade A in addition to the highest quality dry herbs and any other ingredient.

We purchase our ingredients from the same suppliers and local farms who sell to local restaurants and markets right near us in The Hamptons on the East End of Long Island in New York.

Our founder, Barbara Jude Frerichs, has always disliked the idea of fillers being in dog treats and food. We will never use fillers like vegetable glycerin. All of the ingredients are listed on each product and product page on our website.

Our treats should be stored in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Once opened, be certain to leave the anti-humidity packet in the bag and reseal the zipper seal completely.

If you are in a humid area, they will last longer in your fridge.

If you put them in a new container, be sure to put the anti-humidity packet in the container as well and be sure the container has a good seal.

We suggest the treats be used within 30 days.

It depends on the size and activity level of your pup. Our treats are all easily breakable so you can give your pup just the right amount. Our treats are all very low in fat, but you should still be careful not to overfeed your furbaby.

We offer free shipping on orders over $49. We ship orders within 2 business days. If there is a delay of any kind, we will contact you to let you know.

If you have an issue with an order, please contact us prior to returning the products. We want you and your pup to be happy and we will do what it takes to make everything okay.
