About Annie's Pooch Pops

Annie’s Pooch Pops started 15+ years ago to provide the pet industry with a super-premium, gourmet treat that was healthy and aesthetically appealing to both pet and owner. The business started with humble roots in the family’s kitchen. As demand increased, Annie’s Pooch Pops rented a kitchen overnight from a local restaurant. Cooking from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. wasn’t easy but eventually the business moved into its first dedicated facility, a 4,000 square foot barn in northern New Jersey horse country. In 2017, Annie’s Pooch Pops settled into a 20,000 square human-grade food facility in Bangor, Pennsylvania. Matt McInerney, the current owner of Annie’s Pooch Pops, named his childhood dog “Annie” in homage to Little Orphan Annie. Annie was a rescued golden retriever / corgi mutt with a strawberry-blonde coat. Matt and Annie were inseparable and truly embodied the phrase of man’s best friend. Acquiring the Annie’s Pooch Pops business in 2020 was the perfect opportunity for Matt to honor the legacy of a revered family member. Annie’s Pooch Pops works with and supports numerous reputable agencies dedicated to the promotion of pet adoption and other animal welfare initiatives. Read their story
