Pawlee’s is an all natural dog treat bakery and pet market. We produce baked every day treats, jerky, pawstry treats, and BarkDay cakes. Who knew?
(81)

All of our treats are handmade with love by pet parents just like you in our downtown Kernersville, NC location. Pawlee’s is an all natural dog treat bakery and pet market owned by Jennifer McKay and Maloy Frye. We produce baked every day treats, jerky, decorated pawstry treats, and BarkDay cakes. In addition to our bakery, we offer top of the line pet food, other brand treats and chews, collars,

grooming supplies, toys, and health supplements. Although Pawlee’s is geared more for dogs, we love our feline friends too. We have a section for cat supplies and planning to expand that very soon! Pawlee’s also supports animal rescue. We are proud give back a portion of our profits to animal rescue organizations and support local organizations through store events. A little history about Pawlee’s…

It all started with a little brown Dachshund/Boykin Spaniel mix from Staley, NC named, Jeremy. I (Jennifer), adopted him from Happy Hills Animal Rescue located in Staley, NC. Jeremy had severe lacerations on his back when brought in to HHAF by a Sheriff’s deputy whose first name was “Jeremy”. This sweet dog was named after his hero and we kept it that way. It took a long time for him to heal from his injuries but he was so thankful to all that saved his life. So, Deputy Jeremy, I never knew your last name but if you ever read this… THANK YOU. Before all of the issues with chicken jerky from China came about I fed Jeremy and my other dog, Jasmine, chicken jerky strips which was a very well-known brand. This would be the very one that ended up making headlines later on. I noticed that both started throwing up a foamy substance after eating these treats. It happened a few times before I actually made the connection to those treats because after all it was just dehydrated chicken, right? I also didn’t realize it was made in China which would have immediately been a turn off for me. Many of us didn’t realize at the time. I stopped giving the treats because I knew something wasn’t right and started making our own. It wasn’t long after that I started hearing dogs are being killed or became critically ill from chicken jerky produced in China. I then started making treats for family pets. Since our treats were so loved I came up with the idea to start a business to sell our treats and help rescues out as well. This is when Pawlee’s was born. Many people ask where did we come up with that name? Is it a family name? I wanted to come up with a name to characterize the dog in the logo that had a dog related ring to it. The name “Paulie” came to mind because of the “Paw” sound. I had a few others in mind but this one just felt right. This has to be because I am a huge “Rocky” movie fan. So with a little modified spelling, the name Pawlee’s was inspired by the character “Paulie Pennino” (Adrian’s brother) in “Rocky”. The Pawlee’s logo has a special significance to us. The dog in the logo is actually a cartoon version of Jeremy. Unfortunately he passed away in January 2011 due to age related health complications. He was believed to be between 17 and 18 years old. So we honor Jeremy by representing him sitting on top of a baked bone surrounded by stars. So with a name, logo, and website we were in business. We started selling our treats online while donating the profits to rescue groups. We were able to move out of our kitchen to a private commercial location in Winston-Salem until one day a double space became vacant in downtown Kernersville. There was no doubt we had to jump on it because we could finally open our bakery to the public and have a small pet market as well to compliment the bakery. So here we are with our bakery and store located at 116 N Main St, Kernersville, NC. This all started with that sweet little brown dog and a dream. However, Pawlee’s would not be here or at least as successful without the major support of my business partner, Maloy Frye. He has helped cut through the red tape of starting a business, managed to get us into other pet stores, and operates our store while I work in the background with marketing, website, graphics, product development, and so forth. I had the dream and he helped make it happen. Jennifer McKay, Co-Owner

I just made a trial run of mini cheeseburger doggie pizzas! This is made with an ancient grain crust which is gluten and yeast free. Our sauce is a mix of tomato & pumpkin purée which is actually pretty tasty. We make our own sauce from scratch to ensure it’s free of onion and garlic. It’s topped with cheddar cheese, lean ground beef, Turkey bacon crumbles and parsley.

*** For every $20 purchase, you can take one of these mini pizzas home for your FURiend to try next week! Offer is valid 3/5/24 to 3/9/24. 🍕🐾

Today we received almost 20 animals in less than 4 hours. Only one of those animals was a stray, all others were surrendered by their owners with the full understanding that their pets could be euthanized at any moment. We understand some people might not have another choice but...

If you are needing to rehome your pet, please consider other options before surrendering them! You can search for and contact rescues all around North Carolina or use rehoming groups on Facebook.

If you have pets that are not fixed, PLEASE spay and neuter them before it's too late. You can pick up applications at the shelter for the SNIP DC program, which is only $75 for Davidson County residents!

Our pizza pans made it today! 🍕🐾

Hi Everyone,
We have some sad news but some great news at the same time. After long debate, we have made a tough decision to discontinue stocking pet food. There are many factors at play. Our location, parking, hours, plus local and online competition have all contributed. It was a great run for the first several years but we realize this is not our market nor our focus and “that is okay”. For our customers that we special order food for, we plan to continue to order it for the time being unless it becomes too much of a challenge to get it. We don’t anticipate that happening, so please don’t panic. If we decide to discontinue, we will reach out to each of you individually with ample notice.

We feel there is so much more to be gained with this decision. We are able to focus our storefront more on our bakery and offer our FURiends so much more! We will have the floor space to offer more goodies and hopefully bring in some unique and cool products. We would love to also support more local artisans as y’all have supported us throughout the years. We are also excited to finally have more room to host events and especially work more with our local animal rescues. That is why we started Pawlee’s and it feels so liberating to go back to our roots! With that said, we will be holding a sale starting this Saturday to clear out the food and probably more items we wish to move out to free up space. Stay tuned, there are so many great things ahead here! 🐾☀️

This is so awesome and thank you FHS for sharing this. We hope these harnesses help get these babies to their appointments, events, and wherever needed to lead them to their furever homes. Thank you for all that you do. ❤️🐾 @forsythhumane @forsythhumaneevents

While my heart is just filled with warmth typing these names in on the sponsored Forsyth Humane harness tags, my eyes are also filled with tears because a few of these names are some of our FURiends that used to click clack through our store that have since passed on. They are very missed. Their little memories will live on with these harnesses. We are running behind on getting these to FHS due to being low staffed but plan to have the tags finished and delivered to them by the end of this week. Stay tuned. Thank you all to who have sponsored these. We do have some left if you still want to participate. Regardless, they will get all 150 that was on their wishlist sponsored or not. ❤️🐾

Did you know that we grind our own flour from dried chickpeas? When we say we are fully hands on with our products, we are start to finish! Only the best for your FURiends. 🐾

Don’t forget your FURiend this Easter! We have goodies, toys, and dresses. We will be open normal hours Friday and Saturday. 🐰🐾🐇
