Welcome to Toby & Mikka’s!
 
We are a small, family-run online store offering healthy treats for your furry friends.

Our Story

5 years ago, when Toby and Mikka joined our family, we knew we wanted to give them the best lives possible. We didn't know entirely what that meant, but soon enough we learned that, just like for us humans, one of the main aspects would have to be their food. Thanks to a lot of research and testing our findings on our own little fur balls with only positive results, we further learned what it means to feed our cat and dog a healthy diet, and how different (and sometimes similar!) that would be to the food we eat ourselves.

 

The more we learned, the more we saw them thrive, to the point where food has been playing a big role in helping us manage our Giant Schnauzer Toby's Addison’s disease diagnosis, alongside his medication.

 

As we kept learning more and more about what to feed (and not to feed!) our precious pets, we also discovered just how hard it is to find healthy options in pet stores. We were already preparing most of their food at home, from scratch, but when we realized that healthy treats weren't readily available either, we decided we had to do something about it - and this time around, not just for our own pets.

Our Treats

 

We make healthy treats for your furry friends from scratch, in small batches, using only high-quality ingredients, including locally-sourced, antibiotic- and hormone-free meat, along with mostly organic vegetables and superfoods.

 

We have been feeding our furry friends a species-appropriate diet for over 5 years now and have been constantly looking for treats made with high quality ingredients and without any fillers or synthetic additives, without much luck. Once we got clear on exactly what we wanted in our pets' treats and realized that we could find most of the ingredients close to our house - some of them growing right in our backyard! - we decided to try making them ourselves.

 

We found a local supplier of antibiotic- and hormone-free meats and organs that we mixed with mostly organic vegetables and some superfoods, and voila! – our first healthy, nutrient-rich treats, without any flours, grains, or hard-to-read substances with no nourishing effects on our beloved four-legged friends, were created.

Our Mission

We want to reintroduce our pets' simple and natural diet, the one that's closest to their wild ancestors’ diet but also takes into consideration their modern lifestyles.

 

We're starting with the foods they often get most excited about - treats! - and have our sights set high, towards changing the way we feed our pets and making healthy, species-appropriate food accessible to everyone.

 

For now, this means that we're always working on creating new recipes and finding new ways to nourish our trusty companions, as well as continuing to learn how to further provide happy and healthy lives for them.
