Wells Belles Smooches
Hygge in Every Bite
Our hand-rolled sardine meatballs, loving referred to as 'smooches,' are made with love by three sisters in Maine.
A cozy treat for dogs who deserve connection, comfort, and a little something special.
At Wells Belles, hygge is more than a vibe, it’s our dogma.
Rooted in comfort, coziness, and simple joy, hygge is about creating the feeling of home, wherever you are. Whether your pup is on vacation at a doggie inn or curled up beside you on the couch, they deserve warmth, connection, and a treat that feels like love.
That’s why we make our Smooches meatballs: real, fresh food crafted to nourish the body and soothe the furry soul.
Because hygge is that safe, satisfied, at-ease feeling, and no one understands that better than a dog.
It’s comfort. It’s connection.
It’s a Smooch from home. 💛
Ingredients:
D'Ameri Farm beef - Gray, Maine
Local fresh eggs (various farms in Freeport/Durham, or our own flock!)
Organic almond flour
Organic shredded carrots (other seasonal veggies)
Sustainably sourced wild petite sardines
Love (always an extra heaping of this secret ingredient)
A Labor of Love (and Crumbs)
Wells Belles was dreamed up by our three daughters, lifelong lovers of snacks, crumbs, and dogs. What started as a Valentine’s Day project (a batch of sardine meatballs they proudly named Smooches) quickly turned into a full-blown mission: to spread cozy, healthy, handmade love to as many dogs as possible.
Every Smooch is made by hand in our home kitchen - mixed, rolled, and baked by the girls themselves in a true professional labor of love. They especially delight in watching the photos of pups at Brown Dog Inn, inventing stories about each dog and imagining them receiving their treats with a tail wag and a bedtime meatball kiss!
To them, every Smooch is a little spark of joy.
Made with love. Delivered with delight. Meant for dogs who deserve it most.
Thank You for Supporting Our Dream
We’re so grateful for every pup who tries a Smooch and every human who cheers us on. This little business is built on imagination, laughter, and a lot of love - and we have so many stories (and treats!) still to share.
More flavors and fun are on the way, all inspired by the dogs we adore and the tales we dream up around them. If you have a flavor idea, a local ingredient source, or a connection to Maine-grown herbs, meat, or veggies, we’d love to hear from you.
From our kitchen to your dog's heart, thank you for being part of the Wells Belles story. 💛
