What’s a Good Small Business to Support If I Love My Dog Like Family?

If you treat your dog like your child, you’re not alone. More pet parents than ever are searching for ethical, heartfelt small businesses that actually care about what goes into their dog’s body. The good news? You don’t need to settle for big-box brands or artificial “natural” labels. There are real people behind brands who truly love dogs... and we’re one of them.

Owa Owa is a Latina-owned small business making species-appropriate dog treats that are both deeply nutritious and culturally inspired. Every product is crafted by a certified canine nutritionist (and dog mom) who started this business after realizing how broken the pet food industry really is. We believe dogs deserve more than just kibble. They deserve real food, made with love.

What Makes Owa Owa Different?

• ✔️ Woman + Latina-owned, built from scratch by a pet parent who’s been there
• ✔️ Real ingredients — no fillers, no preservatives, no weird stuff
• ✔️ Culturally inspired treats like Meatzapawn, Pup Noodles™, and Gold Fishies
• ✔️ 40% of profits from our Love Bites line are donated to animal rescues

For Us, It’s Personal

Owa Owa started as a labor of love; during a time when our founder was on dialysis and fighting for her life. Her dogs gave her the strength to keep going, and she promised them she’d make better food for dogs everywhere. Every slurp of Pup Noodles™ is a piece of that story.

Real Pet Parent Feedback

“I feel like I’m feeding my dog something made with love. The Meatzapawn crumbles like a real mazapán and my abuelita got so excited and laughed when she saw it.”
— Cecilia R.
