Check it out by clicking the button to view it, or stop in the store and pick one up for your pup!

Do you have a Naughty Pup this year?

Has your pup made his or her way to the Naughty List?


 We have just the item for under the tree...a lump of coal.

We had to chuckle when ordering this Orbee Tuff Dog Toy from Planet Dog.
It's a good thing pups don't know the meaning of this fun bounce around play toy:  they'll keep playing and you can keep laughing to yourself.

It's okay to admit it, we do....

Keep them Entertained this winter with Puzzle Games

One thing is for certain:  Winter is here.
And with that comes a pooch who has enough pent up energy to drive you crazy.  The days are shorter, colder, and a bit more gloomy...and sometimes those walks get cut short, or just don't happen at all.
We can help!
There a lot of toy puzzle games for dogs out there on the market: so many that you have to weed through them to get the ones that actually work: that are playful enough to make your pup want to play, yet not too confusing for them that they lose interest.

Even if you think your pup is a natural Einstein (see photo), they are just like the rest of the pack and aren't masterminding formulas just yet...but definitely need some kind of stimulation.

Puzzle toys are a great indoor solution.  

We've gone through many brands and types of puzzles and carry an assortment in store.  One brand we really dig are Our Pet's line of doggy puzzles.

They have designed three levels of treat puzzles, which your pup can graduate from each level...and even though you think your pup may be at the top of the class, it's always smart to start them off at a lower level:  these games are challenging, and giving them something to help build on will keep them interested all winter long...

These toys have three learning levels: Smart, Brilliant, and Genius.


SMART level:
The Atomic Treat Ball
For healthy play and exercise, Atomic Treat Ball® Treat Dispensing Ball promotes physical and mental alertness. Easy to load with treats and food, Atomic Treat Ball is made from safe and durable thermoplastic rubber.










BRILLIANT Level:
The IQ Treat Ball
The IQ Treat Ball® features an insert that allows you to adjust the difficulty, determining how hard your dog has to work to get treats out of the ball! 













GENIUS Level:
The Buster Food Cube
Made of tough, durable plastic, the Buster® Food Cube provides valuable mental stimulation and exercise. Your dog is rewarded when treats and food fall out...and you can vary how easily they fall out with a simple twist. Available in a 3" and 5" Cube.











These are great stimulation toys for your pup, and we're pretty sure you'll be happy that they're kept busy so you can enjoy your wine by the fireside and a happy pup!

Nina Ottosson puzzle toys in store!

Nina Ottosson puzzle toys  

These toys are designed to challenge your dog or cat, and make them work to get treats ... these puzzles are certainly brain exercise! 

Many of the popular breeds of dogs were created to work, and without a job they can develop destructive habits to release the energy they used to use to work. From retrieving game to herding sheep, these dogs need a physical or mental challenge that can be lacking, especially when the weather is too bad to exercise outside. Channel that energy into something constructive! Cats need brain exercise, too. Since they no longer have to hunt to survive, give them a puzzle to solve and they are much happier with the indoor life!  Available in store now!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  

We will be closed for Thanksgiving on Nov. 28
Enjoy this time with your human and fur family!

It's snowing Chicken!  Well, atleast your pup won't mind...
We've taken our chicken recipe that has been popular through the years,

Safety on those craft mart treats...

Just a little safety scoop for your pup...

Something to be aware of as we get into craft show season is what to look for in home made treats that may be for sale at these events. Whether you sell treats at a store or from your home, you need to be certified by the Dept of Agriculture. There should be ingredients listed as well as an analysis of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and moisture.

If you don't see this information, ask the seller. Also ask where the ingredients come from.  

A home made treat using cheap ingredients isn't any safer than a commercial one.  Please think twice when making your purchase, and get those snacks from a trusted source.

New Handmade LOCAL coats in store!

Fall is here and that means winter is coming! We are bringing in coats from two local craftswomen, Madeline of Terrier Wear and Jenny of Fargo Fleece. Both of these ladies make dog coats in various styles that will have your pup warm & cozy as well as stylish.  

They offer a variety of coats and jackets in different materials and patterns, these coats are made by hand here in Lorain Co rather than mass produced in a foreign country. These items are made with pride by people that care about what they do. They are warm, durable and washable and will look great all season long.  

Best of all, if you have a hard to fit dog, either of these ladies can make a custom coat just for you! We are looking forward to working with Jenny & Madeline. You will be impressed by the quality of their work!

Sustainable Farms and Organic Farms

As part of our informative ingredients blog, did you know we, the owners of the Grateful Dog Bakery, own our very own sustainable farm? Many ingredients from our snacks are grown right on our own land.  We are very serious about providing healthy and nutritious snacks for your dog. As we blog about our ingredients, you will learn where every ingredient comes from!  If we don't farm a particular ingredient, we find farms like ours that are sustainable and free of chemical pesticides, and other farming methods that are not natural.

Local, sustainable, safe, and healthy ingredients are the ONLY kind that makes it into our doors and are baked into our treats.

What's the difference between a sustainable farm and one that is deemed certified organic?
There are a few select differences between the two, but there are also a lot of similarities.

For the sake of this blog, we thought we'd just pull out some points.

Sustainable farms are not certified organic but use organic methods of farming.

*Sustainable farms produce crops and raise animals without relying on toxic chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified seeds, or practices that degrade soil, water, or other natural resources. By growing a variety of plants and using techniques such as crop rotation, conservation tillage, and pasture-based livestock husbandry, sustainable farms protect biodiversity and foster the development and maintenance of healthy ecosystems.

Sustainable Farms are much smaller than those that are certified organic.  We are the farmers. We care and grow our own crops, bringing our harvest to your pups in their treats. Many treats out there on the market have ingredients listed that you can't even pronounce!  These ingredients are not proven safe in the long run, are made in giant factories, and, in our eyes, are just simply questionable. The amount of recalled pet food and treats is growing every year.  It frightens us to know this, which is why we hope that you read this, and become a little more aware of what you are feeding your dog and cat and make informed choices.

The Grateful Dog Bakery is committed to bringing you quality food and treats for your pets. Nowhere does that commitment shine brighter than in the treats we make ourselves. We start with the best and healthiest ingredients that we can  find and we want to tell you about them because it’s important that you know what is in your dog’s treats.

If you are interested in reading more about the differences between sustainable and organic farming, check out SustainableTable.org

New In Store: Collar Doos!

We've got Collar Doos!

We now have Collar Doos! Hand made bows and flowers that velcro to your dog's collar for that special look!  This company hails from Columbus and they are flying off our shelf!  Adorable designs for both boys and girls!

Keep your eyes peeled, our inventory of styles will change with the season! 

Ohhhh Honey, Honey!

This is so cute we might explode.

Did you know there are super-good health benefits in honey for both you and your dog?

Honey is a superfood with natural antioxidants for good health. Do you, or does your dog experience allergies?  Did you know that eating local (let's stress the word local) honey also helps to prevent allergies for both dogs and humans? If you eat honey that is made where you live, you are naturally being exposed to the allergens in your area, in microscopic amounts... in turn, it desensitizes your body’s immune response. Pretty amazing.

We get our honey out of Creston Oh.  We add it to a lot of our treats to satisfy a sweet taste and still remain a healthy snack for your pup, and 

An excerpt from Whole Dog Journal that discusses the great benefits of honey for your dog:

"As long as Bonnie (her dog) receives her daily honey, she remains free of allergy symptoms. 'But if I forget for a week or so,' says Crouse, 'the symptoms come right back. I know several other dogs who have had the same response. They react to seasonal allergens until their owners put them on honey, and then they’re fine.'"

 


We make many specialty snacks with honey. Our Very Berry Muffins (pictured on the left) features seasonal berries with honey too! 

Other treats with delicious honey added: All of our carob treats, Haagen Paws, our cakes and cupcakes, lambs on rye, and our oatmeal biscotti. 

We, The Grateful Dog Bakery, are proud of the ingredients we use.
We're proud to brag about every single ingredient that we use to make our delectable snacks for your pup.  If those ingredients haven't come from our own sustainable farm, we have developed great relationships with local farms and suppliers to provide the BEST ingredient list for your precious pooch.

***We are not responsible for the excessive drooling your pup may produce when getting a good whiff of our treats***

We're baking up new seasonal snacks!

 

Baking up a fresh batch of cherry carob treats!

We are going to have new treats for your pups all summer long! By taking advantage of the great local produce we have available in this area we are going to feature special dog treats with seasonal fruits.

Right now we have Cherry Vanilla or Cherry Carob ice cream cone treats. The cherries are picked locally and are fresh when we bake them into the treats.

Cherry cones are delighting our pup customers!

Cherries are considered to be a superfood by many nutritionists, packed with nutrients and antioxidants you can feel as good about giving your dog these treats as they will about eating them!

As they come into season, we will be baking with fresh blueberries, peaches, apples and watermelon. We will keep you posted as to when these become available depending on the local harvest. Your pup will appreciate fresh fruit and vegetables as much as you do!

Summer Is Vacation Season!

Summer is vacation season!

Herbal Supplements can naturally calm your pet without worry of side effects.

If you are going to be traveling with your dog or boarding your dog or cat while you travel, we carry all natural herbal supplements from Bach, Healthy Dogma, Ark Naturals and Animals Apawthecary to help with stress, separation anxiety and motion sickness!

As we come closer to July, plan ahead for fireworks or other loud situations that can stress your cat or dog. We carry Thundershirts in a variety of sizes to help  your dog cope with storms, fireworks or any stressful situation.
Our Golden Retriever Dakota wears her Thundershirt for vet visits and car rides as well as fireworks and storms. It has really helped her to cope with things that are very stressful for her.
Have any questions about this, or want to talk to us about your pup’s anxiety issues?  Stop in and see us, or call…we are always happy to try to help you find a solution so your pup is calm and happy!
