Founder Story
DMV Dog Grub is the natural intersection of founder Tony Jackson's greatest passions: exceptional food, hospitality, entrepreneurship, and the unconditional love people have for their dogs.
As the founder of Eat This, Cater You and co-owner of DMV Dog Whisperer, Tony has built his businesses around creating memorable experiences—whether that's bringing people together over great food or providing trusted care for their four-legged family members. It wasn't long before those worlds naturally came together.
The idea behind DMV Dog Grub began with a simple question: If we put so much thought, creativity, and care into the food we prepare for people, why shouldn't our dogs enjoy that same level of quality?
That question inspired the creation of DMV Dog Grub, a line of handcrafted dog treats made with thoughtfully selected ingredients, small-batch preparation, and a culinary approach rooted in quality and intention. More than just a pet treat company, DMV Dog Grub reflects Tony's vision of creating meaningful experiences that celebrate the bond between people and their pets.
Together, these ventures reflect Tony's passion for creating meaningful experiences and building community. Through DMV Dog Grub he is bringing together his love of hospitality, entrepreneurship, and dogs to create memorable moments that connect people and their pets in authentic and lasting ways.
