Hi, I’m Kat.
Yes, a lifelong dog lover named Kat. Go figure.

Have A Heart began with Penny, my sweet black rescue Lab from New Orleans. She had a sensitive tummy, so I started baking her simple, wholesome treats. Real ingredients. Nothing weird. No artificial anything.
I shared them with friends, family, and our dog sitters. Turns out,
Penny was not my only fan.
 

Somewhere between those first batches and growing this brand, I started joking that I felt like the Walter White of dog treats, except my lab is joyful, heart-shaped, and the only thing I am cooking is kindness and treats.

Those early batches grew into Have A Heart, a small batch, heart-led dog treat bakery that brings together everything I love: dogs, good design, and doing something that matters.

​

I have spent my career as an Art Director helping others tell their stories and build their brands. Now I am telling mine. At the heart of it is a simple belief:

 
“Petit à petit, l’oiseau fait son nid.”
Little by little, the bird builds its nest.
 

I have always loved this French proverb. It is the heartbeat of Have A Heart.
One treat, one dollar, one tiny act. It all adds up. Just like a bird builds its nest twig by twig, each treat helps build something better.

​

When you choose treats that give back to rescue organizations, you are not just spoiling your pup. You are helping another dog get a second chance.

You are adding your kindness to ours.

​

Our name carries a dual meaning: a heart-shaped treat for your dog, and a reminder to have a heart and help others. A portion of our profits supports rescue organizations because we believe every act of kindness matters.

​

Whether you are sharing our treats, spreading the word, or simply cheering

us on, you are part of the pack. And we are so glad you are here.
