9 Small Businesses in Eastern Iowa That Make Dog Treats [PHOTOS]

When I adopted Tater back in March of 2020, I learned pretty quickly that he has a sensitive stomach. Thanks to his allergies, he can't eat certain types of meat, like chicken. When you start reading the ingredients of dog treats, you realize pretty quickly that there is chicken in almost everything, which really limits the products you can buy. That's why I absolutely LOVE locally-made dog treats.

If you've been to any farmers' markets recently, you've probably come across at least one Iowa company that makes their own dog treats. As it turns out, there are quite a few of them! I've started buying a lot of treats from these local companies, because they use minimal, very basic ingredients. Not only do they not bother Tater's stomach, but he also LOVES them! Here are a few Eastern Iowa businesses that you can find at markets and locations in the area:
