It's FURRY FRIEND FRIDAY!!! Let's celebrate our pups! 🐶

Post a pic in the comments and tell us a few things about your beloved fur baby. You know how much we LOVE seeing all the dog pics! ♥

In the top row are adopted doggy siblings Opie (left) and Roy (right)! I can't even with Opie's ears and Roy's teefs!

The beauty on the bottom left is Mirage! Her mom said that Mirage had a great time on the boat and swimming!

On the bottom right is Kasanova! Kasanova is the fur baby of Summer and Jaye, owners of Fresh as a Daisy Dog Spa. Jaye said, "This photo was taken when we went to the Hershey groom expo, and Kasanova got “glass table portraits”. The photographer thought he was a hoot! It’s one of my favorite photos ever."
Ours, too ;)

If your pup isn't featured in this week's graphic, don't worry. We'll add them next week :)

P.S. If you drop a pic in the comments, maybe next week your pup will be featured on our graphic!

I'm not gonna lie. These are CUTE and I am definitely a Pumpkin Spice girl! But let's take a quick look at the ingredients, shall we?

😞 The first two ingredients listed are wheat products. Again, there's nothing inherently wrong with wheat. My own belief is that dogs get enough wheat products in their diet with treats (like these) and other foods.

🥛 Milk: I don't know if they mean liquid or powdered milk. Milk isn't terrible but not every dog's tummy can handle dairy. A better choice might be goats milk. And if it's powdered milk, I wonder what preservatives are added to that to keep the powder from clumping and from spoiling.

🐂Beef Fat: If they're referring to tallow, there are some health benefits to that. I'm really hoping it's tallow but then why not just say that? If it's actually just beef fat, then why? My guess would be it's a palatant.

🤢 Meat Meal & Bone Meal: Meat meal is a dry, brown powder derived from animal parts that aren't fit for human consumption. It's supposed to be protein rich, which is why it's an additive in dog foods. It goes through a rendering process (aka: cooking raw foods at high temps....helloooo carcinogens) to remove moisture and separate the melted fats from the proteins and bone solids. The other reason it's added to dog foods is to prevent spoilage by reducing moisture in the other protein sources of the food. No thank you. Not for my dog.
Bone meal is what you think it is -- ground up bones. Once again, it's not inherently bad for your dog but I don't always trust where or how commercially made pet food ingredients are sourced. Plus, bone meal can come from any animal so it's best to avoid it if your dog is allergic to certain proteins.

🫤 Corn Maltodextrin: This is a carb derived from corn starch and its used as a thickener, binder, energy source and filler. So basically this has no nutritional value whatsoever. Plus, dogs really don't need added carbs in their diets.

As for the "pumpkin spice" flavor, the ingredients do list "spices" (fingers crossed there's no nutmeg) and "artificial pumpkin flavor" is the second to last ingredient. Let's not forget the addition of various preservatives.

I'll stop there mainly because the rest of the ingredients get harder for me to pronounce, lol.

Moral of the story: if you want some cute Halloween treats for your pup, choose to buy fresh treats from your favorite, local, fully licensed & insured dog treat baker instead!

It's What to Know Wednesday.

I was doom scrolling yesterday and a video from America’s Got Talent popped up. I always watch them when they’re in my feed. I really love seeing people chasing a dream, cheering them on, and hoping they win. As I watched a singer take the stage you could see they were nervous, and I was nervous for them. You could see hope in their eyes, and I had hope in my heart for them. Silently cheering them on. Then I watched them give it everything they had for this one moment. But it wasn’t just this one moment. It was the millions of moments before this that even got them to this one. The struggles, hardships, challenges they endured. The small wins and successes they had along the way.

I think that generally people love seeing other people chase their dreams. Maybe we even NEED to see other people chase their dreams. We cheer for them, root for their success, celebrate their wins.

All of that stuff I said about a singer taking the stage is exactly what building a small business is like. Someone had a vision and chose to take a chance and run for their dream. So many challenges, obstacles, wins, losses, millions of moments before THE moment. And it takes an entire community to help them and cheer for them and support them, step by step. And you know what’s really cool? Those small business owners really do want you to be part of their journey and part of their story.

When you support a small business, you’re supporting people who are working so hard to reach and live their dreams. I know so many other small business owners who are busting their butts trying to make a go of things, and you know what? I REALLY want to see them win! I WANT to clap for them, cheer for them, celebrate them, see them shoot for the stars and actually catch one!

Thanks to all of you for being my community, Chienne Pawtisserie's community. Thank you for cheering us on. And to my fellow small business owners – I see you. I’m clapping for you. I’m silently, and sometimes not so silently, cheering you on. Keep going. Keep pushing. Run your race and finish strong. Then keep running.

It's Tasty Treat Tuesday and today we're featuring a new look for our Carob PB Bat Cookies!

These are the perfect Howloween treat for your furry, four legged goblin! They're also a great surprise for those canine trick-or-treaters barking at your door.

All-natural peanut butter is packed with lots of vitamins, including Vitamin E which helps promote healthy muscles, supports the skin and coat, and boosts eye health for your pup. Peanut butter also contains manganese, which dogs need to metabolize proteins and carbohydrates. The phosphorus in peanut butter helps to keep your pup’s teeth and bones strong!

Unsweetened carob powder is a great source of fiber, which helps support your dog’s digestive system and gut microbiome.

Gluten and wheat free.
