Our Story

Dogs have always been a part of our lives, and we can’t imagine it any other way. They’ve brought joy, laughter, and unconditional love to our family for as long as we can remember — so it only felt right to give something back.

When owner Lee Ann Forte discovered a little cabin for sale in Metamora, it felt like fate. The space had so much charm and history, and she knew it was the perfect spot to bring her dream of a dog biscuit shop to life. That’s how Canine Crunch Co. was born.

We’re proud to be a family-owned small business, spending our weeks baking up fresh, healthy treats and spending our weekends in the shop sharing them with fellow dog lovers. Everyone in the family pitches in to help, and of course, Leroy and Curtis — our two spoiled pups — take their roles as official taste testers very seriously.

We’re proud to call Metamora home and to be part of a town filled with small businesses, friendly faces, and plenty of wagging tails.

Where we began...

Canine Crunch Co. was born from owner Lee Forte’s love for her dogs and her passion for homemade baking. When she came across a little cabin for sale in Metamora, it felt like fate — the perfect place to create a cozy shop for dog lovers and their pups.

Today, Lee bakes dozens of healthy dog treats each week, with the whole family coming together to help. Her two pups, Leroy and Curtis, happily serve as the official taste testers (and biggest fans) of Canine Crunch Co. They’re spoiled with love, and they never say no to sampling a new batch of crunchies.
