Since launching in 2022, Mountain Dog has expanded its production capacity and product line, with products now sold in more than 140 retail locations in Alaska and elsewhere in the United States. The company has also developed specialty products, including the MK-9 Deployable Pack, a rugged system that provides dog handlers with quick access to salmon treats during training, travel, and outdoor activities. Dunleavy says, “Mountain Dog is an example of what is happening in Alaska: businesses are growing and being created, capitalizing on what Alaska has to offer. There is a big market looking for a product like this, and to have it come from Alaska makes us all very proud. ”Mountain Dog supports veterans organizations, young entrepreneurs, pet adoption efforts, and families fostering animals. The company also works with Alaska seafood processors, retailers, tourism businesses, pet stores, and other manufacturers to strengthen the visibility of Alaska-made products and support the state’s broader business community.
