The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Old Mother Hubbard began in 1926 in Nebraska, founded by a family that baked dog biscuits in their kitchen. They made wholesome dog treats from simple grains and meat. The brand built its reputation on the original dog biscuit, a crunchy treat that became an American staple. They stayed independent for decades while competitors consolidated. Today the company operates across North America, selling treats in grocery stores and pet shops nationwide. Old Mother Hubbard ranks fifth among pet product brands tracked across more than twenty thousand companies, holding ground through generations of changing tastes in pet nutrition.
