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.
