About Our Company
At Lily and Max Pet Bakery, we believe family isn't defined by two legs or four, but by the unconditional love, joy, and memories we share.
Our story began with two very special rescue dogs who forever changed our lives: Lily, our sweet and affectionate Weimaraner, and Maximus, our spirited Jack Russell Terrier. Both came into our family through rescue, but in so many ways, they rescued us, too. They filled our home with laughter, companionship, and a love that words can never fully describe. Although Maximus passed away several years ago and we recently said our heartbreaking goodbye to Lily, their paw prints will forever remain on our hearts. Their love is the foundation of everything we do.
Like so many pet parents, we wanted nothing but the best for our furry family members. When Lily and Max developed food allergies, finding treats that were both safe and delicious became a challenge. I began baking homemade treats using simple, wholesome ingredients because they deserved the same love and care we put into feeding the rest of our family. What started in our kitchen as an act of love eventually grew into Lily and Max Pet Bakery.
As a mother of three, I've learned that life moves incredibly fast. Between raising children, building careers, and managing the everyday responsibilities of family life, it's easy to forget just how precious time really is. Now that our children are grown, I understand even more deeply that the greatest gift we can give those we love is our time. Our pets are with us for only a chapter of our lives, but to them, we are their entire world.
That's why Lily and Max Pet Bakery is about so much more than dog treats. It's about celebrating the bond between pets and the people who love them. It's about birthdays, gotcha days, family traditions, everyday adventures, and those quiet moments when your best friend curls up beside you. It's about creating memories that will stay in your heart long after the moment has passed.
Every treat we create is made with the same love and intention that inspired me to bake for Lily and Max. We use simple, quality ingredients and offer thoughtfully crafted treats that allow pet parents to celebrate their furry family members with confidence. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a little reminder of how much they're loved, we want every treat to bring joy to both ends of the leash.
Losing Lily and Max has reminded us of something incredibly important: We never have enough time with those we love, but we can make the time we have together truly meaningful. Their legacy lives on through every treat we bake, every tail we make wag, and every family we have the privilege of serving.
From our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your family's story. Your support means more than you know, and every order helps us continue honoring the two very special dogs who started it all.
Because at the end of the day, it's never just about the treats. It's about love, family, and the memories we make along the way.
Making tails wag and hearts happy, one treat at a time!
With love and gratitude,
April Lopez- Owner & Founder

Our Beloved Maximus
Maximus was a rescue who stole our hearts. He adored playtime, cuddles, tennis balls, and chasing squirrels. Though we dearly miss him, his spirit thrives in our bakery.
-
Our Lovable Lily
Lily joined our family as a rescue and infused our home with joy and laughter. Her favorite pastimes included leisurely walks, savoring her bones, indulging in taste tests, and staying close to her beloved momma. She was our bakery’s quality control expert. It was very difficult when we lost her but she, like Max, will live on through the bakery.

Our Quasi
Meet our cat who's convinced he's a dog. He shadowed Lily's every move, aspiring to emulate her. His top pastimes include basking in the sunlight by the window, frolicking with his pink bear (Princess), enjoying stroller rides, and eagerly observing and barking at the birds.
