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, Border Collie Mix, Chief Snack Inspector bei Dogvanture

    🐶 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.
