About Us
& the Inspiration, Family, Forever Story behind Forge 'N Fetch Brand of Dog Wellness Treats.
How Our story began...
Helping Dogs Live Longer Better Lives One Fetch at a Time
Forge 'n Fetch was founded on one simple belief: every dog deserves the opportunity to live a happier, healthier, longer, more active life.
We're Mitch and KayDee lifelong dog lovers who believe dogs aren't just pets—they're family. Over the years, we've shared our home with six incredible dogs while fostering more than 200 rescue dogs, each with their own story of resilience, hope, and unconditional love. Every dog that came through our door taught us something about healing, trust, and the incredible bond between people and their dogs.
Those experiences inspired us to build something bigger than a pet treat company.
We created Forge 'n Fetch to develop premium dog wellness products made with honest, purposeful ingredients that help support mobility, wellness, and overall health. Our goal is simple: to help dogs enjoy more adventures, more play, more tail wags, and more healthy years with the families who love them.
But our mission extends beyond the products we create.
Rescue is part of who we are. Having fostered more than 200 rescue dogs, we've witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of compassion, patience, and second chances. As Forge 'n Fetch grows, we're committed to supporting rescue organizations and helping more dogs find the loving homes they deserve.
Every product we create is guided by the same principles that inspired this company from the very beginning: quality without compromise, transparency without hype, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of dogs.
Our products are forged with purpose, crafted with integrity, and inspired by every rescue dog who helped shape our journey.

Mitch - "the hammer"
An Arizona native and lifelong dog lover, Mitch co-founded Forge ’N Fetch with KayDee after years of sharing their home with dogs of every age, size, and story. His vision for Forge ’N Fetch is to build more than a dog wellness company—it’s to create a brand that helps dogs live healthier, more active lives while giving back to the rescue community that means so much to their family. For Mitch, success isn’t measured only by what Forge ’N Fetch sells, but by how many dogs it can ultimately help.
