Buttercup's PAW-tisserie is often featured in my pet snack or people snack quizzes because they stock (and bake) some of the cutest animal yums around! This gourmutt dog bakery specializes in freshly baked, all natural and healthy treats with no added sugar, salt, or preservatives. They use only the highest quality, human-grade ingredients like fresh meat, roasted peanuts, organic carrots, fresh spinach, and carob and all biscuits are handmade, rolled, cut and then slow baked to perfection.
What's a pet owner to do if they find themselves with a pooch that's allergic to many dog treats and foods and living in a town with no animal specialty shops? Yup, as you probably guessed, long time caterers Pam and Brian Trainor decided to open their own. Knoxville's River Dog Bakery now makes and bakes all treats in the in-store kitchen and started with a simple, crunchy biscuit called Nicholas Nibble Bones safe for their Golden Retriever, Nick.
Since we're full steam ahead bringing you all things wedding here on the Sugar Network, it's time to talk planning. If wedding bells will be ringing for your pets sometime soon, then you'll want to start thinking about the best part of the whole event: the cake!
Now, as much as we all enjoy stuffing our faces with some cake during big events, some common ingredients can be harmful to animals.
While I haven't given North a party in years, this year needs to be special – he's our resident celebripup on the site after all! There are so many options for having a doggie-friendly event – like Molly's party for Oliver's first birthday last year – and it's easy to get bogged down by the details.
After deliberating about North's fiesta for weeks, I've settled on an intimate gathering at a friend's backyard!
I'd have to say the Quick Sniff Challenge segment was my fave part of the last episode of Groomer Has It. This week the remaining groomers had to create an impromptu, original dog snack for Mark Bodner, owner of Three Dog Bakery, to review. Bowls of essentials (wheat flour and cornmeal) were provided along with mix-ins like apples, carrots, yams, carob, and spices like cinnamon and coconut.
Hey there, Isaboo! Are you excited for a yummy snack? North and I are psyched to learn what's cooking on Rachael Ray Feeds Your Pets, an hour-long special airing tomorrow at 9 p.m.
Liberty and Citizen have been all abuzz about this big day! They're so psyched, they've even come up with their own name for today's primaries – Super-Duper Tsunami-rageous Tuesday Extravaganza-palooza. Whoa!
Getting the sniff of approval from whiffs by the visiting pooches, this year's Sugar & Champagne Affair definitely got four paws up! For the sixth year running, pastry chefs from some of Washington, D.C.'s finest restaurants and bakeries whipped and dipped desserts for metro area pets and their people. Produced in conjunction with the Washington Humane Society, proceeds from this benefit go towards the metro area animal welfare workers and the canines (and felines) they rescue.
There are bunches of pet barkeries, bakeries, and bake shops that will ship treats straight to your lucky pooches . . .
Don't be fooled. Although, at first glance, they may look like your midmorning snack, these "yums" are actually for the dogs. The cute Halloween cookies above are almost $3 a pop, a steep price for something North can devour in three seconds flat.
