Visit your local dog bakery!


It was only 7 short years ago that an NCB television show titled "Providence" told the story of a small town family whose dad was the local vet. His daughter followed in her dad's dog-loving footsteps by opening a bakery business called the Barkery, a bakery for dogs. At the time I thought it was a fabulous idea, but being a retail store owner myself I doubted the actual viability of such a venture. Boy, was I wrong!

In the years since, almost every town has sprung a creative and wonderful bakery for furry canines and felines. Near us, the Grateful Dog Bakery in North Ridgeville, Ohio serves customers who line up for wonderful homemade goodies in many different shapes; muffins, cakes, birthday cakes, biscuits, scones, and more. Dogs are now dining on fresh baked goods made with natural ingredients and farm fresh produce. The names of these treats make them sound good enough for humans to eat, and yes...most of the time we certainly can. The human grade ingredients make us feel good about feeding them to our best friend. So we encourage you to visit google up "dog bakery" this summer and find one in your area. You will not only discover delicious things for your pooch, but you will no doubt meet some wonderful dog folk while you shop! my favorite: http://www.gratefuldogbakery.com/
