On St. Paddy’s, everyone’s a little Irish — even me, woof!

But you can go green …

While still buying red and white.

Of course, there’s no Canadian substitute for Guinness.

(Mind you, Guinness wasn’t made for dogs.)

That doesn’t mean I won’t be drooling at the smell of beef and Guinness stew.
But I can celebrate St. Paddy’s Day in my own way.
We’ve got a lot of great treats, but one is especially great for this occasion:

Our Pup-Eye’s Spinach Cookies.

If Guinness isn’t your thing, you might be dyeing your beer green.

But my spinach cookies are already naturally green.
And healthy!

It’s not always easy to get me to eat my fruits and vegetables.

But when you pack spinach and apple into a cookie?
Woof!

The best part?

We’re not only celebrating our Irish friends — we’re also buying Canadian!

So for St. Paddy’s Day, I’m eating green …
While still buying red and white.

(P.S., I have to admit, I look very handsome in a cute, green hat!)

Woof! Happy International Women’s Day to all women and girls.

But especially to my Ma.

Although we’re named after me, Bob The Dog, I’m not actually the one actually making the treats and running the business.

That’s all Ma (and the Guy.)

(I did try taking a more active paw in the business, but I ended up eating all our inventory, which was bad.)

My Ma works hard every day, making treats, shipping orders, talking to customers …

She’s amazing!

Women-led businesses are still only about 20% of the market in Canada.

So let’s support women in small businesses this International Women’s Day …

Tag your favourite women-led businesses in the comments (or tell us about your own)!

The Oscars were last night, but who cares? We’ve got The Bobs.

Bob the Dog is Canada’s finest critic of both snacks and film.

“Emilia Pérez” got 13 Oscar noms this year, but zero noms from Bob the Dog.

However, our Teeny Salmon Treats got 20 noms from Bob the Dog. (Nom nom nom nom … etc.) He also licked up the crumbs.

Four paws way up (so we can scratch his tummy).

“Conclave”? More like con carne. He chose a Beef Chew.

“The Substance”? Bob the Dog doesn’t need that stress in his life.

His favourite substance is our Nose & Paws Protective Balm, which protects him from the elements.

“Wicked”? Nope, Bob’s a good boy. He deserves a treat.

“A Complete Unknown”? A complete Peanut Butter Bone, please.

“The Brutalist”? Honestly, Bob hates brutalist architecture. He says it makes everything look like a prison.

“Anora”? A-snore-a. He’s fallen asleep and did not watch the rest of the nominees.

So yeah, Bob didn’t award any Bobs to any of the films nominated.

But our sustainable, organic pet products absolutely CLEANED UP this year. (And every year.)

He likes us! He really likes us!

We’d like to thank Bob for giving us these awards.

To everyone watching at home, keep your dreams alive.

Buying Canadian is better!

The news from down south isn’t great right now, but what IS great is seeing Canadians band together to support local.

Buying Canadian gets you a better product, and it’s better for the environment and economy.

We appreciate all you folks going above and beyond to support Canadian.

We even got an email from someone going so far as to check where we’re sourcing our wild Alaskan salmon. Such a great question!

And while the answer is that the salmon is caught in Alaskan waters, the fish is packaged in Canada, and then supplied to our source, a small BC owned fish and chips chain.

Every year, we purchase between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds of their trim - cod, salmon skin, and halibut - and upcycle it into delicious and healthy treats for dogs.

It’s a great partnership between two North Van businesses.

Local and sustainable never tasted better!

You know, Bob the Dog is not our pet.

He’s a member of our family.

This Family Day weekend, we made sure to make EVERY member of our family feel special.

Our dogs are there for us on bad days, good days, rainy days, and sunny days.

Our dogs have gotten us through tough times.

So we want them to have the best of this life.

And we want them to have the best treats.

You and I wouldn’t eat the processed foods and chemical treats most of the big companies are making for dogs.

We wouldn’t feed that stuff to our family members.

But we couldn’t find natural treats and supplements for dogs like ours on the market, so we made them ourselves.

Our treats are human grade and handmade.

Prepped and baked in our own kitchen with carefully selected ingredients.

Tested and approved by Bob the Dog himself.

Like the Pup-Eye’s Spinach Cookie.

Delicious and packed with spinach and apple.

A treat for him, and an easy way to sneak fruit and veg into his diet without him knowing!

What are you feeding your family today?

Woof - a Friday funny to help with those resolutions!

Bob the Dog runs this place. We’re just here to take notes.

See, Bob padded up to us one day and said, “Mass-produced treats and factory dog food don’t taste great. Can I have some delicious dog treats please?”

That’s almost an exact quote.

And us humans said, “Ok, Bob, but they need to be healthy too.”

When the fireworks were freaking out poor Bob, he told us in no uncertain terms, “I need something for my anxiety. Something that puts pep in my step and improves my mood.”

And us humans said, “Ok, Bob.”

Then Bob said, “Also, can it be natural, good for the planet, and kind to all my furry friends?”

And us humans said, “Ok, Bob.”

After a lot of trial and error, we finally got it just right — Bob-approved.

The best stuff Bob has ever eaten. He told us so.

All the dogs at the park were envious.

So Bob said to us, “Can we share this great stuff with my friends?”

And us humans said, “Ok, Bob.”

So our business was born.

But it’s not called Colin & Carra’s Treats for a reason.

Bob says we’re good at making delicious treats, but we think our real skill is listening.

That’s why Ma & The Guy make the treats, but Bob makes the rules.

Bob says to listen to your dog. They’ll tell you what they love. And odds are, it’s this.

Woof! At Bob the Dog, we live by think BIG, shop small, support local for a whole bunch of reasons.

By making a commitment to shop local or support small business, it keeps money circulating within the local economy- and that just makes good sense, right?

And then one thing leads to another, as it so often does... the more connected we feel to the local economy, the more we build on our sense of community.

And woof - how about this! You get better customer service! As a local owner, we value each of our customers because our business depends on you. We pride ourselves on providing over the top service and treat everyone like family. Simply put, we want you to be happy.

So think BIG, shop small, support local - it's a win win all over the place!!

Dogs love pizza - woof!

Cheesy, meaty, gooey, saucy, bready PIZZA! 🤤

As a dog, I can safely say: give us the chance, and we’ll eat pizza all day!

But is that a GOOD idea?

Ok, fine — definitely not.

It may be yummy, but pizza will make your pup feel CRUMMY.

My very own Bob the Dog treats & chews, on the other hand …

Dogs love them …
And they love dogs right BACK!

We pick ingredients with nutrition in mind. We only use whole, natural foods.

One of our all-time favourites? Kettle Cod!

It’s made with seafood from local B.C. restaurants, repurposing high-quality ingredients and diverting harmful food waste.

We’ve also got Hali-But Bites and Teeny Salmon Treats …

Then there’s Liver Training Treats …
Pup-Eye’s Spinach Cookies …
And Peanut Butter Bones!

(Not to mention natural, long-lasting Chews, for dogs who love to gnaw.)

What do they all have in common?
They’re natural.
Non-industrial.
Wholesome & nutritious.

Treats to make your pups so excited, they’ll think they’re at a pizza party!

(Without later feeling all gross and farty!)

Woof!

Woof!

Sometimes people are skeptical about wellness products for dogs.

I get it.

I’m a dog. I bark, I smile, and I give great dog kisses.

But that doesn’t mean I always feel well.

What has really helped me feel better is the CBD I take every day.

They’re the same products we sell to all our friends, at markets and online.

When it comes to wellness, these CBD products really do the trick …

And not just *sit* or *lie down*. Heck, this is even bigger than *roll over*.

Just ask the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Their studies show products like ours help 80% of dogs with anxiety and osteoarthritis pain.

If the science isn’t enough, how about our resident expert? (That’s me, woof!)

I think our CBD is great. I take it every day, and it’s made every day better.

WOOF! WOOF!

We care about animals – dogs, cats, humans, and all the furry and friendly creatures of planet Earth.

To us, caring means making products that are good for your dog, and good for this planet we share.

Bob the Dog products are sustainable, natural, and ethically produced.

We take great pride in purchasing over 2500 lbs of fish trimmings per year from local restaurants in order to turn them into human grade treats.

Which means: the Kettle Cod, Teeny Salmon Treats, Hali-But Bites, and Salmon Skin your pooch loves ALSO reduces waste - and that can be hard to find at a pet store.

Bob thanks you for doing your part to keep the earth green. Woof woof!

14/01/2025

Woof WOOF - what to do when there's no markets coming up and your pup is in desperate need?

Don't even worry! You can get everything you need online any ol' time you like!

And did you know we offer free shipping on orders over $75?

Happy Bobiversary!

Last week we celebrated the day Bob the Dog became part of our family.

It’s funny how much can change when you get a dog. They’ll alter your wake up times, change the routes you walk, and change your priorities too.

You start to care so much about their health and well-being.

(So much you might even start your own dog business!)

Bob came into our lives and changed our purpose. Perhaps your dog has done the same for you.

It’s one of the reasons we feel so lucky to connect with you — here, at markets and over emails.

One thing we have in common with everyone we meet is …

We all care so much about these dogs that have changed our lives.

Thank you to Bob, and to all his furry friends out there!

-Carra and Colin

PS: Let us know below how your dog joined your family! We love hearing about all the different origin stories of all our new furry friends!

Woofy New Year’s Eve! We’re barking farewell to 2024 with some tips on how to help your dog through a night of fireworks.

Step 1: Prep
Set them up with a comfy hideout and their favourite things away from the worst of the noise.

Step 2: Create Calm
Give your dog any calming supplements, natural remedies, or anxiety meds well before the fireworks start so they have plenty of time to relax.

Step 3: Distract
Turn on a white noise machine or calming dog music to get them through the night.

Good luck to you and your loved ones tonight! Keep calm and chew that Kong!
-Bob the Dog
