Brian Jones loves hot sauce and started making small batches of it in his kitchen. It’s rich in naturally occurring capsicum found in peppers and offers many health benefits. After bottling the sauce, Brian’s friends tasted it, loved it, and suggested he start a company and sell it. Brian met Todd Larson through playing music, and both are teachers. Todd is also a Graphic Designer and Brian reached out to him once 2 Dogs was being planned out. Working with Brian, Todd finalized the logo, label, website design and became a partner in the business. Brian came up with a number of recipes and conducted formal taste tests to have people vote on their favorites. Black Garlic Habanero and Michigan Cherry Habanero were the two unanimous winners. 2 Dogs Black Garlic Habanero won 3rd place in the World hot sauce awards out of Lafayette Louisiana under the “hot” category. Since then, 2 Dogs has added 2 new flavors; “The Green Mild” (Tomatillo, Jalapeño, Poblano blend) and “Give up the Ghost” (Citrus Ghost Pepper). A 5th is being release in February 2021. 2 Dogs focuses on flavor first and heat second. All 2 dogs sauces are vegan, gluten-free, preservative-free, and made from all natural ingredients. The name “2 Dogs” comes from Brian’s actual dogs Walter (on the left of the logo) and Chichi (on the right). They were always in the kitchen and served as moral support along the way. Since 2017, 2 Dogs has sold 1000’s of bottles and has earned many loyal customers. 2 Dogs products are sold in convenient 5.5 oz bottles.
