PBJ Dog Biscuits

PBJ Dog Biscuits is a Falmouth, Maine dog-treat company started by Shawna Jette after her own dogs turned out to be allergic to chicken. The first recipe came from a simple constraint: make a treat her pups could eat, using peanut butter and Maine blueberries, without preservatives, by-products, grain, or gluten. The name is literal, not focus-grouped.

The ownership evidence is small-business plain. Maine Made lists PBJ Dog Biscuits in Falmouth, gives the company’s contact details, and describes the origin story in the founder’s first-person voice: “I went to work to create” the treat after finding the dogs’ chicken allergy. WGME’s Maine Makers feature identifies Shawna Jette as the operator of PBJ Dog Biscuits and frames it as one of two independent businesses run by a Falmouth husband-and-wife pair. The linked Etsy shop gives the brand a direct sales channel. We found no corporate parent, roll-up, or outside ownership record.

The product line has grown past the original blueberry-and-peanut-butter biscuit. PBJ now sells biscuits, training treats, Maine Blueberry Himalayan cheese sticks, and cat treats, with local availability at Maine shops including What the Actual Fudge, Bam Bam Bakery, and Woof Play Eat. It’s a modest catalog, which is a good thing here. The ingredient promise stays easier to check when the range is focused.

This is not a national pet-food brand with a lab coat on the label and a holding company in the background. It’s a Maine maker solving a real household problem, then turning that recipe into a small line of treats for local shelves and online buyers.

Pet owners should still check product listings for dairy, peanut, and flavor-specific ingredients, especially for dogs with allergies. We list PBJ Dog Biscuits because the ownership is traceable, the product claims are concrete, and the treats avoid the filler-heavy approach common in mainstream pet snacks.
