Crafted Through Generations of Butchers
Our Story
Six generations of American meat-cutting experience shape every bone, chew, and treat we make. From our family’s butcher roots to your dog’s treat jar, we believe great flavor comes from craftsmanship, care, and quality ingredients.
The Country Butcher Difference
Made in the U.S.A.
All of our ingredients are sourced in the USA and slow roasted in our own Illinois-based facility for quality you can trust.
No Artificial Ingredients
Our products are made with real, simple, natural ingredients and never include artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Safety & Quality
Produced in our SQF-certified facility with strict batch testing and full traceability to ensure every product is made to the highest quality.
Heritage Rooted in Craftsmanship
Our story begins over 160 years ago as a family of USA meat cutters and butchers, where quality and care formed the cornerstones of our business. Those same standards went into shaping our first dog chews, sold out of the family butcher shop in the 1980s, and continue to guide us today.
We still craft our products in the USA, using trusted ingredients and traditional oven baking methods to bring dogs the wholesome, butcher-quality taste they love.
Our Mission
To craft the highest quality USA-raised, sourced, and made natural dog treats and chews that bring dogs healthy, flavorful enjoyment.
Six Generations of Experience
Our history may span more than a century, but our commitment remains simple: real ingredients, honest craftsmanship, and treats dogs truly enjoy.
