Our Story
We've outgrown our family garage, but our values remain the same.
2006
An idea for a new kind of pet treat
Joe and Margot Crump settled in Caledon Ontario with their four kids and their dog Alice. As life long dog lovers, they were frustrated by the lack of single-ingredient dog treats on the market in Canada, so in 2006 they launched Crumps’ Naturals from their garage.
2007
The first Crumps' headquarters
A country garage is converted into a 400 square foot “kitchen”. Margot and Sharon, a friend from high school, fill bottles with liver sprinkles and use a home iron to seal the tops!
2008
Spreading the word
Margot and Joe start attending consumer shows in the Toronto area introducing dogs to their three products: Beef Liver Fillets, with or without garlic and Beef Liver Sprinkles.
2009
Time to expand!
Joe and eldest son, Jacob, build an additional 500 square feet of space to the garage to accommodate the growing orders.

Who knew dogs liked sweet potatoes?
Sweet Potato Chews are born, a Crumps’ signature product. Trials begin with a wall mounted sweet potato slicer in the garage.
2010-11
Crumps' first commercial location
Leaving behind its humble beginnings, the company moves to a 6000 square foot facility in Caledon.

Moving to the big city
