Sheep Mountain Dog Treat Company

Sheep Mountain Dog Treat Company is a small-batch dog-treat maker near Wheatland, Wyoming, run by Teresa Hoover. Hoover moved from Florida to Wyoming in 2020 and launched the current Sheep Mountain brand in 2025 after more than a decade of making treats for dogs with sensitive stomachs, allergies, and the usual pet-aisle problems.

The ownership trail is simple. Sheep Mountain’s own site identifies Teresa Hoover as the owner and says she produces the treats on her property near Wheatland. Cowboy State Daily profiles Hoover and describes the business as her self-run barn-kitchen operation, with dedicated dehydrators, a freeze dryer, and three dogs acting as taste testers. We found no corporate parent, acquisition record, private-equity backing, or exclusion-list match.

The product line is not built around cute frosting and bakery theater. Sheep Mountain sells the kind of treats many dog owners wish were easier to find: dehydrated chicken hearts, chicken feet, beef trachea, pig ears, tripe-wrapped chews, monster chews, and other straightforward animal-protein snacks. Hoover’s stated standard is simple ingredients, locally sourced meats where possible, small batches, and no artificial preservatives, fillers, or unnecessary extras.

That directness matters in pet treats. The category is full of soft language: “natural,” “premium,” “gourmet,” and a dozen other words that can hide a long ingredient panel. Sheep Mountain still requires common-sense feeding decisions, especially with rich organ meats and hard chews. But the ingredient logic is easy to follow, and the maker is visible.

For Wyoming shoppers, Sheep Mountain also has a practical local footprint. The company ships across the United States and sells through several regional retailers around Wheatland and Cheyenne. It feels like a real local food business for dogs, not a venture-backed pet brand dressed in barnwood. The best use is as a high-value treat, not a replacement for balanced daily food.
