Pisgah Pet Treats was born from their shared love of animals, the environment, and their local community. Chris and Kaelee recognized an opportunity to create a business that aligns with their values—one that respects the land they cherish while also caring for the pets they love. Working closely with local family farms, they source often-discarded animal parts, such as pig ears, tails, and chicken feet, transforming them into wholesome, all-natural pet chews. By doing so, they’re reducing waste while providing eco-conscious, healthy treats for pets.
Their mission is simple yet powerful: to offer high-quality, nutritious pet treats while actively contributing to sustainability and local partnerships. Every treat crafted by Pisgah Pet Treats is a reflection of their commitment to caring for the earth, supporting small farms, and providing pet owners with treats they can feel good about giving their furry friends.
For the Beeson family, Pisgah Pet Treats isn’t just a business—it’s a way to honor the land they love, celebrate the importance of community, and share their passion for animal well-being with others. When you choose Pisgah Pet Treats, you’re not just giving your pet a snack; you’re sharing a piece of the mountains—a taste of the wild, lovingly crafted by a family who lives and breathes the beauty of Western North Carolina.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can create healthier, happier pets while protecting the natural world we all cherish.
