Good Dog Erie

About Good Dog Erie

A monthly subscription box made by Erie dog people, for Erie dog people.

We’re Bryson and Emmy - engaged, living in Erie, and running Good Dog Erie together out of our home. Our two girls, Lulu and Tarpon, are along for every step. We’re the ones who source every item, pack every box, and hand-deliver them around town.

The idea started where most good ones do: walking the dogs and realizing the local stuff we love - treats from a small PA baker, a bandana from the Saturday market, paw balm from a maker we found on Etsy - never makes it into the big national subscription boxes. Those boxes ship the same mystery cardboard from a warehouse to every ZIP code in the country. We wanted something that felt like Erie.

Meet the pack

Nothing makes it into the box without being approved by our resident quality assurance team:

Lulu
Golden Retriever - Senior Taste Tester

Calm, steady, and a little too thorough about evaluating every treat we bring home. Lulu’s favorites lean toward the chew-and-nap category, which makes her a generous QA partner for long-lasting chews and snuggly toys.

Tarpon
Cavapoo - Head of Small-Dog Quality Assurance

Spirited, opinionated, and very fast. Tarpon leads small-dog product testing. If a toy can survive Tarpon, it’ll survive your living room - and if a treat earns a Tarpon tail-wag, it earns a spot in the box.
