What is TREEV?
TREEV is a black-owned pet brand that is socially conscious, health conscious, and rooted in community. TREEV crafts high-quality dog treats made with all-natural and locally-sourced ingredients. Created in Brooklyn, NY and founded by pet-industry expert Kenan Peters, TREEV was inspired by cherished family recipes passed down from the founder's grandmother.
THE WHY
At its heart, TREEV is about community — the kind that nurtures, supports, and shows up for one another. Founder Kenan Peters discovered that kind of community during his years in Brooklyn, NY, where neighbors became family and shared love for pets brought people togethe. That sense of belonging inspired him to build a company that could bottle some of that Brooklyn magic and pass it along to pet parents everywhere — through high-quality, all-natural treats made with locally-sourced ingredients, and through a community where every pet parent and every pet has a seat at the table.
Community matters because it lifts up the individuals within it, and the pet industry has long needed more of it. Over 90% of pet-related businesses (pet products, services, and veterinary clinics) are white-owned, while fewer than 4% are Black-owned. TREEV exists, in part, to help change that — to widen the circle, to make room at the table, and to prove that a more diverse and inclusive pet industry is not only possible, but better for everyone in it and that's why TREEV is working to build a true community of pet parents and their pets — one rooted in care, sustainability, and connection.
THE MISSION.
TREEV's mission is simple, yet powerful: Keep Moving Forward. Rooted in diversity, sustainability, nutrition, and community — both within the pet industry and far beyond it — TREEV brings people together around one shared truth: pets make our lives fuller, and we, in turn, are responsible for making each other's lives fuller, too. Because in a real community, pets aren't just pets — they're family. And the people who love them are family, too.
