About Us
🐾 Pawlee’s Dog Bakery & Pet Market
Handmade with love by pet parents, just like you.
Pawlee’s began in the heart of Downtown Kernersville, North Carolina, where our first store welcomed local dogs and their families through its doors. Although we have since moved from our original downtown location, Kernersville will always be where our storefront story began.
Today, Pawlee’s continues to create wholesome everyday treats, jerky, pawstry delights, doggie pizzas, and custom BarkDay cakes. Every product is handcrafted with care, love, and a genuine passion for pets.
💕 Our Story: It All Started with Jeremy
Every great story begins with love—and ours started with a brave little dog named Jeremy.
Jeremy was a brown Dachshund and Boykin Spaniel mix from Staley, North Carolina. After suffering severe injuries, he was rescued by a sheriff’s deputy who was also named Jeremy and brought to Happy Hills Animal Foundation. To honor the man who saved him, we kept his name.
It took time for Jeremy to heal, but through it all, his sweet spirit, strength, and gratitude inspired something very special.
Before concerns surrounding chicken jerky treats made overseas became widely known, I, Jennifer, regularly gave Jeremy and my other dog, Jasmine, a popular brand of chicken jerky strips. I began noticing that both dogs became sick after eating them.
Once I realized the possible connection—and discovered that the treats were made in China—I stopped giving them to my dogs immediately and began making my own safe, homemade treats.
Those first batches were made with love using simple, wholesome ingredients, and Jeremy and Jasmine loved them. Soon, friends and family began asking me to make treats for their pets, too.
That is how Pawlee’s was born—from one dog’s story, a pet parent’s love, and a desire to create treats that families could feel good about giving their pets.
So, Deputy Jeremy, wherever you are, thank you for saving our sweet boy. ❤️
