Woof Bark and Bid Event

Woof, Bark, and Bid 

Supporting Multiple Breed Rescue

*Saturday April 5th*

12-3

**Event is at Vermilion Amvets 

This is a great and FUN fundraiser for Multiple Breed Rescue. It is an auction type event with lots of goodies up for grabs! You can win some great items, plus the vendors will have tables setup with items for sale!

They will also have a potluck and cash bar!

Invite your friend, family, coworkers - This is a fun an exciting event for all!

Here's how the auction works:

You purchase at least one numbered paddle upon arrival.  All items available to win will be showcased upfront and listed on a handout. When an item comes up that you want to win, you place a quarter in a bowl at your table and then you hold up your numbered paddle(s). If your number is called, you win!  Visit their website for more information!

Our Ingredients are the BEST for your best friend!

 It's true....we like to brag about the organic local

ingredients we use for our hand made dog treats, and the local produce we grow or buy when it's in season.  

Did you know we also use local cage free eggs for  all of our recipes?  

How local?  

Why...Right out back!  

We have 2 roosters and 24 hens that do their part to keep our ingredients fresh and local. We feed our chickens a vegetarian diet, a combination of layer mash and whatever is ripe in the garden. We have too many predators in the neighborhood to let the chickens free range, instead we use electrified poultry netting. It's light and easy to move, so we move the girls to fresh ground every few weeks.  

Folks have asked if we slaughter and eat our chickens after their egg laying days are over, the answer is no. Our chickens die of old age, because even if they aren't laying eggs they do make their contribution to the compost pile for the garden. Chickens have their own social structure, and they are fun to watch as they go about their daily business.  

We are hoping one of the girls is in the mood to raise some chicks this spring, making our flock self sustaining. We will keep you updated and post pictures of any babies we get!

Helping out our local rescue groups

This month, in lieu of Rescue Sunday, we are participating in events for Fido's Companion, Friendship APL, Love A Stray, Multiple Breed Rescue and Erie Shores Greyhound Adoption of Ohio.

Fresh from our ovens: Treats!

Treats are an important part of your dog's life, from small, tasty training treats to reward your new

puppy for learning to "I love you" treats for your adult dog. Treats are a big part of what we do at the Bakery. We are always looking for ways to make those tasty treats a healthy addition to your dog's diet.

Should treats replace food? 

No. 

Can they be a healthy adjunct? 

Absolutely yes.

Last Fall we proudly announced we were switching to Organic flours and brans in our recipes. This means no chemical pesticides or fertilizers and no GMO grains. Last summer we brought in a line of treats using locally grown fruits and berries, some we grew ourselves and some we bought from local organic growers. We are going to do that again this year, so look for seasonal treats reflecting what is available around us. We are blessed to be in an area with many local growers so we can bring your pup the best and freshest local ingredients.

For the pups that prefer a meat treat we carry several great lines of all meat choices. Bravo is an   Bare Bites makes a dehydrated beef liver treat that even the pickiest dogs love. These treats are a healthy addition to your dog's diet.

American company that uses North American ingredients for their freeze dried treats. Barkworthies is another one that has a wide range of protein sources, as is Grandma Lucy's and Stella &Chewys.

We are frequently asked why we don't bake treats for cats. 

Cats are obligate carnivores, they need all meat treats. We carry a full line of cat treats from great companies. Bare Bites liver treats are great for cats, Bravo, Grandma Lucy's and Stella & Chewys have healthy treats your cat will love.

There has been a lot of publicity about treat recalls and treats causing illness or death in pets. We can promise you that you won't find anything on our shelves with ingredients from foreign countries with low or no standards. The companies we use source their ingredients from North America or countries that hold to the European Standard. 

Everything we have is something we are comfortable feeding to our dogs and cat. 

That is our promise to you.
