Lickity Paws

Lickity Paws is a South Portland, Maine dog-treat company making frozen and freeze-dried “pup cup” treats. The brand comes from Stacey, a trained chef, recipe developer, food stylist, culinary educator, and dog mom to Rosie and Harry. After years in food styling and cooking instruction, she turned that recipe background toward treats for dogs. It shows in the flavor work and the product details.

The ownership trail is direct. Maine Made lists the business in South Portland under Lickity Paws, with the founder’s first-person story about moving to Maine in 2019 and later starting Lickity Split Treats after making homemade treats for her two doodles. The Lickity Paws homepage also names Stacey, describes her professional food background, and explains that she created the treats after finding commercial dog ice creams filled with artificial ingredients she did not want to feed her dogs. We found no corporate parent, acquisition record, or outside ownership signal.

The product line is more specific than the usual biscuit shelf. Lickity Paws makes frozen pup cups, freeze-dried pup cups, freeze-dried bites, three-ingredient biscuits, and a few dog-themed accessories. Flavors include Really Rosie, a yogurt-based peanut-butter, banana, fruit, and vegetable treat; Hippy Harry, a banana-based option for sensitive stomachs; Lickity Lobster, made with lobster and vegetables; and Barkin’ Bacon, with bacon, Maine maple, pumpkin, banana, and yogurt.

That variety means ingredient-checking matters. Some treats contain dairy, peanuts, bacon, or lobster; others are vegan, peanut-free, grain-free, and dairy-free. The good news is that the brand states those differences clearly instead of pretending one formula fits every dog, every allergy, and every household.

We list Lickity Paws because it is founder-led, Maine-made, and rooted in real recipe development. For dog owners trying to avoid artificial frozen treats, it offers a cleaner independent option with enough ingredient detail to choose carefully.
