Those who know me know I used to be an army dog trainer. I learned two things while I was in the army working with dogs, both are still a daily part of my life.

First: you always sort your dog out before you sort yourself out.

Are they thirsty or hungry? Do they need anything at this point? Every day without fail, I follow this rule that I learned so many years ago. Dogs’ can’t just fill up a water bowl, they can’t stop a griping hunger in their stomach on their own, but we can. So I choose to meet their needs before I work on my own, and I always will.

Second: you always move at the slowest man’s pace.

This lesson taught me everything about living with older, slower dogs. As dogs get older, they run less. Older dogs sniff more. They sniff everything. Senior dogs might be stiff and achy and need to cover less ground, but they cover that ground at a slower pace.

Please consider their needs and go at their pace.

It’s not fair to leave them behind or pull them along.

Taking orders for the Holiday Season! With my big fella now in the safe hands of Hillside Physio Therapy, we can resume baking! First up are a few back orders that we are going to include an additional free 32 oz carton for this ridiculous delay. You know who you are, please message me if you still want your order and I’ll happily start baking. Please note that our baking capacity is limited and we have decided to take individual orders instead of attending markets. That means we can focus on our regular customers and add on a bit for first-time doggos. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Tails were wagging as 23 golden retrievers lined a giant rock next to Nanaimo River on Wednesday, taking in the October sunshine to pose for an annual photo that's making people smile.

My giant breed needs me and so today will probably be my last market day of this season. To order between now and next market season, please visit beardogcafe.com or email me [email protected]

💛 Cedar has been looking after his mama while I manage an asthma flare-up. It’s been kicking my butt this summer. Cedar is limiting my walks and activity to short jaunts. We miss being at Goldstream Market but hope to be back next week, September 10. If anyone needs treats before then, send me a message and we can arrange pick-up or drop off. Thank you for choosing Beardog Cafe to be your !

🌟CUSTOMER PROFILE🌟
We didn’t know Gemma five years ago, but she knew us. Gemma used to buy our treats in Cadboro Bay before we moved to Calgary for a few years. Gemma was super-stoked when she found us again at Goldstream Farmers Market, and we were super-stoked to know she has long-loved our gingerbread for dogs. Follow Gemma, the expert trick dog, on Insta: 🐶💛

Ease your dog’s FOMO, come see us at Goldstream Farmers Market. See you next Saturday, June 11. Tip: come early, we sell out around noon. 😉🐶

Hump day.

Our quality control officer, sampling our pumpkin-gingerbread dog treats before we start packaging. He approves. 🐶💛

Do you know why dogs chase their tails? Neither do we! But we thought we’d ask in case anybody knows. 🤣😆

Getting in the festive spirit. Also, I think he’s not sure what to make of the giant “dogs.” 🤣

Happy Thanksgiving! Wait for it… 🐶🤣

Toothbrush time! #duckneck

Fun times with a new website in the works. 🤩

Who said exit stage left? 🐶 🤷🏻‍♀️ #recallfail #beardogcafe #puppy #yyjdogs #yegdogs #yvrdog #yycdogs #bcdogs #dogtraining #victoriabc #dogswillbedogs

We see 🐟. They see 🐟 soup. 💛🐶 Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps decrease inflammation and is a good alternative for dogs with food allergies. If you feed raw, rotating between poultry, red meat and fish will create a balanced diet. If you feed kibble you can include freeze dried fish toppers or even a frozen/thawed whole sardine to their kibble a few times a week. Happy 🎣! Don’t let your pup pull you into the lake. 🤣 #yyjdogs #victoriabc #yvrdogs #yycdogs #yegdogs #Healthydog

New store update.

Just a 🐶 and his raw beef knuckle bone on a ☀️ Victoria Day.

Pulled out his favourite tooth brush today, a frozen raw beef marrow bone. 💛🐶🦴 . . . #beardogcafe #frozenrawbones #rawfood #dogchew #itsadogslife #doglife #happyplace #nomnom #spoileddog #bcdogs #dogsofbc

He’s become an increasingly picky eater. The better the quality of food that we give him, the more selective his palette becomes - meaning, now that he’s tasted it, all he wants is fresh, unprocessed food. So I figure, why not go all in? This video marks his transition to a balanced raw diet, one that includes meat, organs, bone, fruits and veggies. Today’s serving is the beef dinner from Big Country Raw. He also loves the beef recipe from NatuRAWls. We’ll introduce other proteins after his digestion adjusts to the raw beef. We probably should have started with chicken (easy to digest), but we know for sure he can digest beef. So, here’s to #realfood!

About that rumour... 🐶😽🙂

Our Story

In 2008, our Border Collie/Lab-x became acutely ill. She suffered an acute and nonstop onset of bloody vomit and diarrhea that. We rushed to her to emergency. There were tests, more tests, one surgery and then a second. Raven lost 14 lbs, her appetite and one day, it seemed she lost her will to live. She would not lift her head or acknowledge her pet-parents.

So we asked if we could stay with her in her kennel in shifts. We held her, we touched water to her lips, we gave her pinch-sized pieces of wet food. After seven days, she slowly started to eat and drink. After ten days she came home. A long list of cancer medications came home with her.

Raven was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. It took her a full year to wean off her medications and return to her energetic self. She maintained a strict diet, which meant no store-bought treats and only her new protein for meals (duck). One day, we decided to make her gingerbread because we wanted her to have a special treat. Of course, we took out anything unhealthy for dogs and replaced the white flour with rye flour and used blackstrap molasses.

She LOVED the gingerbread treats, made especially for her. And best of all, Raven could digest the gingerbread without any pancreatitis flare-ups. So could many of her playmates with allergies or stomach sensitivities. That’s how Beardog Cafe started (named after Raven’s Shep-x brother), with love for our dog. And with our friends’ love for their dogs.
