🐾 About The Chosen Spot K9 Kitchen

At The Chosen Spot K9 Kitchen, we believe your dog isn’t just like family - they are family. Every treat we craft is made with a single purpose: to nourish, reward, and honor the unbreakable bond between you and your four-legged best friend.

🐕 Our Story: From "The Chosen Spot" to Your Home

Founded in Canandaigua, New York — “The Chosen Spot” — by Sydney Killian and Aaron Martin, our kitchen was built from a shared mission to do things differently. Since 2023, we’ve focused on creating nutritionally thoughtful treats using only the highest integrity ingredients.

Our standards weren't born in a boardroom; they were born in our own home. With Aaron’s experience handling his military service dog and our daily life with our three "kids" — Kali, Petey, and Marco — we understand that what a dog eats dictates how they thrive. We are a woman- and veteran-owned small business that believes in transparency over trends.

🔬 Quality Validated by Science

In an industry filled with shortcuts, we choose verification. We don't just claim quality; we prove it through the most respected institutions in the country:

  • ✅ Cornell University Approved: Our meat-based treats hold Scheduled Process Approval from Cornell University, ensuring our safety standards are scientifically validated.
  • ✅ Clemson University Tested: All products are AAFCO compliant and undergo independent 3rd-party lab testing at Clemson University for guaranteed analysis.
  • ✅ Expertly Formulated: Approved by a Certified Pet Nutrition Coach (NAVC-recognized) and registered with the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets.

🍖 Intentional Processing for Every Need

We believe how food is made matters as much as what is in it. We use low-temperature dehydration to naturally preserve the vitamins, minerals, and protein integrity of our ingredients without artificial stabilizers or "mystery" fillers.

From low-fat Peanut Butter Bones to high-value Veal Liver Jerky and Organic Chicken Feet (rich in natural glucosamine), we support:

  • Allergies & Sensitivities: Limited-ingredient and gluten-free options.
  • Training & Enrichment: High-value rewards that keep dogs focused and motivated.
  • Life Stage Support: Options for every stage, from picky puppies to senior dogs with joint concerns.

💚 Rooted in the Canandaigua Community

We are more than a treat company; we are a part of the local agricultural ecosystem. We proudly partner with our neighbors to bring the best of the Finger Lakes to your dog's bowl:

  • Organic Chicken Feet sourced from Stoney Acres Farm (Canandaigua, NY).
  • Savory Bacon sourced from Duvall Farms (Bloomfield, NY).
  • Local Partners: Find us at Beacon Farm Market, Dali Java, and the Canandaigua Farmers Market.

🎁 The Paws-itive Guarantee™

Not sure your pup will love it? We stand behind every batch with our Paws-itive Guarantee™: If your dog doesn’t love it, we’ll make it right. That is our promise to you and your pack.

No Shortcuts. No Compromises.
