Life is short. Spoil your dog, buy some treats.
What We Bake Into Our Treats
We come from a scratch baking background that taught us how ingredients work and play off each other. We still love baking. We just found a way to share it with dogs. That past shapes everything we do.
Our recipes are built on a short list of quality ingredients, every one something you'd recognize from your own kitchen. Nothing unnecessary goes in. No fillers, no strange additives, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners.
Here's the thing about sweet: dogs don't care about it. What they care about is smell, texture, and flavor. We give them what they want. What little sweetness our treats have comes naturally from the fruit, veggies, and honey in each recipe, and it's a supporting player, not the point.
Here's every ingredient we bake with and why it's in there.
More Ingredients
Spent Grain Flour (Barley)
Dried Unsweetened Cranberries
Dried Unsweetened Cranberries
The flour behind Brewery Buddy Biscuits. After brewers extract what they need from barley, plenty of good grain is left over. We recycle it: filtering it, drying it over about 14 hours, then grinding it on site into flour.
Spent grains are rich in protein and fiber, We recycle this byproduct instead of seeing it as waste. One note: unlike our other flours, this one still contains gluten.
Dried Unsweetened Cranberries
Dried Unsweetened Cranberries
Dried Unsweetened Cranberries
Just cranberries, washed and the skin is scored so we can dehydrate them quickly.. the cranberries take about 16 hours in our dehydrator per batch, nothing added to them in this process. that means no sugar coating to cut the tartness.
Cranberries bring vitamin C, fiber, and the same kind of antioxidants that make blueberries worth having on this list.
Unfiltered Honey
Dried Unsweetened Cranberries
Unfiltered Honey
Our sweetener, used sparingly, though sweetness is only half its job. In baking, honey works as a binder, much the way egg whites do, helping hold a treat together. We use unfiltered honey, which keeps its natural enzymes and antioxidants. One note: as with people, honey isn't recommended for puppies under a year old.
Tapioca Starch
Unfiltered Honey
The frosting on our Pumpkin Scones, though there's no sugar in it. Tapioca comes from the cassava root. Mixed with water, it turns into a glossy, sticky glaze, a dog-safe way to get the look of a frosted treat without any actual frosting. It has almost no flavor of its own. Its job is texture and shine, not sweetness.
A Note on Feeding
Treats are treats. Vets generally recommend they make up no more than about 10% of a dog's daily calories and we agree, even about ours. If your dog has allergies or a health condition, check with your vet before introducing any new treat, including this one.
