The family behind Dogvanture
We make snacks so that more dogs have a future.
One woman, one bent ear, one life partner – and an animal welfare visit abroad that set the whole thing in motion.
Dogvanture is not a large team. Instead, it's a solo venture born out of a love for animal welfare. Here you can see who is behind it.

🐶 ELVIS – Chief Snack Inspector
Hey there, I'm Elvis – the floppy-eared boss around here (unofficially, of course).
I'm in charge of quality control. That means I test everything.
Only what passes my strict taste test makes it into the product range.What else can I do?
🌲 Outdoors: Snow, water, mud – I'm in.
🏔 Adventures: Preferably with my two women.
💼 Office dog by day – paid in cuddles.
Without me, the company would be different. Maybe not even exist.

🐾 KATHRIN – Founder & Heart of Dogvanture
It all started with a wonky ear and a small, even wonkier male dog named Elvis.
We met at the animal shelter in 2016 – inseparable ever since.
Then Linus from Hungary joined us and brought:
Chaos, love, and my passion for international animal welfare.
Whether it was rehoming, helping, posting, or collecting donations – I was involved everywhere.
Because what the people in the shelters do is true heroism in wellies.
💡 But at some point the question arose: How can we help even more?
Even when time or distance are not on our side?
✨ BUDDY SNACKS were the answer. Honest dog treats with a purpose. 10% of our profits go to animal welfare organizations, especially Dog Passion Sri Lanka. -
❤️ VALESKA – Numbers Hero & Steady Anchor
In 2019, Kathrin and Elvis stumbled into my life. At first, I was skeptical – furry competition and all. Today, we're a family of three.
While Kathrin invents ideas at lightning speed and Elvis steals hearts, I keep the financial world together on the side. Invoices, accounting, payments, chaos prevention – my territory.
Orderly mind? Almost always.
Humor? Definitely.
Buddies? Everyone.

🎨 FABIAN – Creative Partner
Fabi creates the visual identity of Dogvanture: packaging, print, branding. Stylish, clever, unique – not off-the-shelf.
Mainstream? Not his thing. Boxes? He dislikes them. Instead, he translates my ideas into shapes and colours that truly look the way Dogvanture should.
Calm, solution-oriented, unique. Just right.
Glad to have you by my side, Fabi 🫶

And our dog crew?
Elvis, Linus, Emil, and Pauli inspect every snack before it enters the range. With refined taste and a lot of tail-wagging.
