Our Story

In 2001, Ian and Teresa Miller moved back to St. Louis after living in New York City, where they had grown accustomed to serving high-quality, all-natural pet food to their two dachshunds, Max and Mickey. It wasn’t long before they found a lack of options for nutritious pet food and treats and no alternatives to the “big box” stores for pet supplies. This realization sparked the initial concept and vision for Treats Unleashed, a specialty business that would provide all-natural solutions, high-quality supplies and one-of-a-kind accessories for pets and their parents.

In 2002, Ian and Teresa opened a small kiosk in one of their area’s shopping malls to test the concept of all-natural, fresh-baked treats and high-quality supplies. Delighted with a tremendously positive reception from customers, they quickly opened a second kiosk in another mall, and started looking for the right retail location to launch their store…and the rest is history!

Today, Treats Unleashed is a thriving company with 25 employees, 4 stand-alone retail locations and an active wholesale business. With plans to open a fifth location in 2010 and expansion goals to reach other area in the MidWest, Treats Unleashed wholeheartedly attributes its steady success to the personal relationships it builds within each community of pet lovers and rescue groups.

With a dedicated, caring and knowledgeable staff, Treats Unleashed continues to differentiate itself as a comfortable, memorable and fun place for pets and their parents to congregate and connect with one another. Offering a ‘community within a community’ experience, the team at Treats Unleashed calls customers and their pets by name, makes thoughtful suggestions of new items to try and always strives to make the experience special.
