We know it's been a minute.....the holidays, illness, hand surgery, temporary website glitch, small electrical issue in the treat kitchen......but we promise it will be worth the wait!

Quiet no more!

You may have noticed we’ve been a little…..absent. I wish I could say it’s because “the dog ate my homework”!
The truth is, life happens. And sometimes it’s hard. Starting and growing a business is hard. Transitioning through life stages is hard.
And the past few months have been, well, kind of “ruff”!
The second 100-year flood in just 10 years hit our community and surrounding communities. Thankfully our home only had groundwater and some extra “yuck”, but even that causes a disruption. The dog treat kitchen became overflow storage. And as you may recall from our efforts to donate to our furry friends who were displaced, we had family who were not as fortunate when the river raged out of its banks and they’ve taken up temporary, part-time residence in our home. (One bright spot- we love having family and an extra furry friend around!)
Throw in some short get-away weekends, moving our helper/daughter/sister back to college, illness and sick dogs, and the dog treat business took a back burner.
BUT…..our reasons for doing this have not changed and we’re very excited to get back to meeting new furry friends, saying hello to familiar pups, growing work and life skills, and trying new things!! The mixers are all ready to go!
We’ll be at some area vendor fairs in the upcoming weeks, we’ll be able to hit the Rock Rapids farmers’ market on Monday, and we’re gathering ideas for holiday treats!
We can’t wait to get back at making dog treats and giving back! Let us know what you’d like to see! If you emailed us or messaged us, check your inbox and junk email in the upcoming week. We’re working on a special promotion!
Until then, come see us Saturday in Alvord at The Church flea market and vendor fair, the farmers’ market on Monday or comment on this post if your pups need a treat refill!
And as always, thank you for all of the support!
Lainee and her mom, Jess

Lainee’s Doggy Deli is all set up at the farmers market with Bella treats, Winston treats and Buster biscuits. The biscuits are a crunchy, yet soft treat made with spent brewers grain from Rock River Brewing Co. The barley in this grain gives the treat a nutty flavor and the added honey makes it just sweet enough!

Farmers Market today from 4-6 pm behind Sunshine.
Available:
Fresh baked goods
Jams & jellies
Local honey
Produce
Lillies
& more!

Thank you all SO MUCH for the overwhelming support and love after this segment aired on KELOLAND news! We've enjoyed working to build this business and we've both learned a lot!
One of the questions asked in the interview was, "What's been most meaningful about starting this business?" Aside from Lainee getting to meet all the new fur friends, it's been most meaningful for me to see Lainee's growth and increased confidence. It wasn't that long ago that it was difficult for her to fill the molds. And talk to strangers at vendor fairs - forget it!! Now she looks at pictures of dogs on their phones!!
AND - she talked on camera for this piece!!!
But none of this would be possible without the incredible support in all forms and the many packages of dog treats purchased.
So THANK YOU - our followers, supporters, customers and cheerleaders!

ROCK RAPIDS, IOWA (KELO) – A young girl from Rock Rapids, Iowa is now a business owner. Lainee Jensen is an other-abled young adult and the proud owner of Lainee’s Doggy Deli. With help…

Winner announcement!
By random draw, the winners of the treat jar filled with treats are Robbie Sterler Korthals and Kari Jurrens. We'll get these delivered later today or this evening. Sara Sprock is the winner of the treat jar display box, treat jar filled with treats, dog-themed kitchen towel and sticker.
But the real winners are the fur friends who will benefit from all of the treat orders the past few days.
We have purchased dog food, treats, toys, pet beds, kennel mats, collars and leashes to be distributed to pet owners who were displaced from their homes in the recent flooding. If you know a pet owner who was impacted by the flooding and could benefit, send us a message! We would love to get them sone of these needed items AND some Lainee's Doggy Deli treats!
As always, thanks for the support! You can order treats anytime by visiting the website or sending us an email or private message.
