The Story Behind Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff: From Shared “Cookies” to a Wholesome Business

Every business has a story, and ours just happens to start with a mischievous little boy, a very patient dog, and a bite of dog food that changed everything. At Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff, we’re not just making treats—we’re celebrating the bond between families and their pets, one wholesome bite at a time.

It All Started With a Bite

When my son Sloan was small, he had the curious habit of wanting to try everything—everything included what was in the dog’s bowl. One day, before I could stop him, Sloan had already popped a bite of our pup’s food into his mouth. My first reaction was shock, followed quickly by laughter (because, let’s be honest, kids will try just about anything). But then came the big question: What exactly are we feeding our dog?

That moment changed everything. I started reading labels, researching ingredients, and quickly realized that many pet products are filled with preservatives, chemicals, and fillers I would never want my child—or my dog—to eat. That simple act of curiosity from Sloan became the spark that lit the fire behind Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff.

From Kitchen Experiment to Family Tradition

Determined to do better, we headed to the kitchen. I began experimenting with organic, whole ingredients to make dog treats that were simple, safe, and nourishing. Nothing complicated, nothing artificial—just real food.

Soon, the kitchen smelled like pumpkin and peanut butter. Sloan and our pup, Diesel, could sit together, sharing what we lovingly called “cookies,” without me worrying about hidden junk in the ingredients. These moments became our family’s new tradition: baking together, taste-testing together, and creating memories that were as wholesome as the treats themselves.

What started as a fun project for my little family grew into something bigger when friends, neighbors, and fellow dog-lovers started asking, “Where can we get some of those treats?”

Growing Into a Business

Before long, our little kitchen project blossomed into a business: Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff. What started with treats eventually grew to include pet care products too—all made with the same philosophy of keeping things clean, simple, and safe.

We wanted to be the brand people could trust, not just because our treats taste good (though judging by the wagging tails, they really do), but because every single product is made with the kind of care we’d give our own children. After all, our pets are family. They deserve the same love, quality, and attention that we give to everyone sitting at the dinner table.

Our Philosophy: Wholesome, Organic, No “Yuck”

At Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff, we believe in treating pets the way we treat our kids: with nourishing food, safe products, and lots of love. That means:

• Wholesome Ingredients – Nothing artificial, nothing mysterious.

• Organic Whenever Possible – Because nature does it best.

• No Chemicals, No Preservatives – Ever.

• Made With Love – Each recipe is born from the same kitchen spirit that started it all.

It’s simple, really: if we wouldn’t feed it to our kids, we won’t feed it to our dogs.

More Than Treats—It’s About Connection

Yes, our treats are healthy. Yes, our pet care products are safe. But at the heart of Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff, it’s not just about what’s in the product—it’s about what happens around it. It’s about the shared moments between a boy and his pup. The joy of baking something special. The laughter of watching your dog beg for “just one more.” The peace of mind in knowing you’re giving them the very best.

Our mission is to help families create more of those moments: more wagging tails, more sticky little fingers sneaking a bite, more smiles all around.

Looking Ahead

What started as Sloan sneaking a taste of dog food has grown into a journey far bigger than I ever imagined. And yet, in so many ways, we’re still right where we started—in the kitchen, experimenting, laughing, and sharing “cookies.”

We’re excited to keep growing, to keep creating, and to keep serving families like yours. Because at the end of the day, Sloan’s Snacks n’ Stuff isn’t just about treats and products. It’s about love, laughter, and making sure that every member of the family—kids and pups alike—gets the very best.
