“Today is my birthday - I am 2 years old, very spoiled and adored by both my human mum and dad.

I got this giant rabbit from the very nice lady who makes parrot hoodies ( ) and I’m not quite sure what to do with it … but I’ll figure it out!

Also, my mum bought me (though she hasn’t given it to me yet 😓) a bag of super fine organic carrots, jumbo size!

Oh, and before I go for a little lie down, mum said that if you buy any bag of my dog cookies this January, I’m allowed to give you one for free!!!”

I've been very quiet in December - my apologies to you all for this.

As a "one woman" operation, I had to choose between fulfilling orders and posting on social media; I chose the former 😊.

From Masha and myself, we are enormously grateful to all of you for all your orders - my cookies are the proof that although we, humans, buy with our eyes, dogs don't do that: they know what is healthy, safe and tasty for them!

I may not be able to invest in any fancy and eye-catching packaging any time soon, but you can ALWAYS rest assured that what goes in my dog cookies are the best, safest and finest ingredients out there.

THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏, HAPPY CHRISTMAS, and may 2024 be your BEST YEAR YET!

Many dog lovers believe that "anything goes" when it comes to dog nutrition; as long as they like it, it should be safe, shouldn't it?
Nothing further from the truth! With the Christmas holidays fast approaching, and with many "gorgeously looking" dog treats out there, please READ THE LABEL.
And DO NOT feed your dog ANY CINNAMON at all!!!

There is a lady I met in the carpark of Glenythan Vets in Ellon. I failed to ask her name, but I know she follows this page. If that is you, please let me know if your dog had the surgery and how she is feeling, and whether the diet I had suggested helped... ☺

As we remember the humans, we should also remember the dogs ... their self-sacrifice was not for queen or country, but for the "hooman" they adored more than anything or anyone.

We will remember them. 🙏

The impressive use of Military Working Dogs throughout generations.

In case you need a smile today🤣🤣🤣:

Fergus concluded that Masha’s mango dog cookies are so special that, before you eat them, you roll on them 😂😂😂

As promised, dear ladies and gents - of the human kind and pawsome kind 🥰🥰 - I’m pleased to introduce to you the Christmas dog cookies shapes!!

They are small, cute, cuddly and, as Masha herself has guaranteed, suitable for every doggie, big or small!

I shall be slowly introducing them in all the orders in the run up to Christmas (it takes a ridiculous amount of time to cut them into shapes but it’s worth it if they make you smile 😊)!

They are ideal as a budget-Christmas present for dog lovers and, as many of you know by now, they are:

- only made to order (as in fresh),
- made with the finest ingredients that are SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to be both safe and good for dogs (if they don’t bring any health benefits to your dog, what would be the point???)
- registered with Food Standards Scotland and Aberdeenshire Trading Standards, as well as with the UK’s Food Standards Agency
- independently tested by a UKAS certified laboratory
- largely made with 100% organic ingredients

And, please, do remember that now we have a brand new website: www.mashasdogcookies.co.uk (we shut down www.organicdogcookies.co.uk).

Last but not least, from Masha and I, please stay safe out there today, and do not let your doggie wander off in this weather: there will be a lot of flying objects (particularly dry twigs) that may really harm them!

NEWS ALERT!!!!

Dear customers and friends of Masha's Dog Cookies, we have a NEW and much MORE improved website:

1. After changing website hosting providers, we finally have a "branded" website: www.mashasdogcookies.co.uk! We couldn't get that with the previous website provider, not unless we won the lottery ☺️

2. We have also changed the payment provider to Square - they are fantastic! 🙏 - and now you have a multitude of payment options available!

3. In addition, the new website allowed us to create a multitude of delivery options, as in offering you delivery choices: Royal Mail or Evri, tracked or not!

4. And last but not least, especially with the Christmas coming up, the new website allows us to deliver the cookies to a different address should you wish me to, not just the "billing address"!

5. Oh, and I also created a new page called "Dog News"; there is not much news in it other than two little articles but, as we "do" more, we'll hopefully have more.

Soon, I'm hoping by the end of the week, I'll share with you all the new Christmas cookies shapes - hopefully you'll like them. And a new cookie is on its way, too 😊!

As ever, Masha and I think that ALL OF YOU are truly PAWSOME and we can't thank you enough!

I’ve just had lunch at a great cafe on the road from Longside to Peterhead, called Cafe Nineteen!

Plenty of car parking spaces and, the most important thing, they let you bring your DOG in, too!

The food is truly yummy (you should see their soup and sandwich combo🤗), and they even have “dog sausage” for your dog!

So Zoomies Aberdeen has become the focal point of dog birthdays and personal delivery of dog cookies 😄😄

A new customer asked me to make £20 worth of cookies for this gorgeous boy, as a birthday present for him (he’s celebrating it as I’m writing this post, at Zoomies!).

So, when it comes to customer service - especially their birthdays 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😘😘😘 - how can I say no?.

So, a bag of Masha’s Dog Cookies was delivered (ribbons and stickers and birthday card too!!) including a Banana cookie bag with the new Christmas shapes!

I wished the birthday boy “Happy Birthday”. and he allowed me to take a picture of his pawsomeness!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉

Two very lucky customers (both existing customers 😍😍😍) will be presented with the new Christmassy cookie shapes. If they like them, I’ll show them to you all 🤗. Counting on their feedback 😉

We will be offsite on the Sunday completely but the others days we may be popping in and out to check everything’s ok but can’t guarantee someone will be here all day.

Park checks will be done at night but it’s really important that everyone is kind, courteous and respectful for their appointments on these days (as most are)

I will make sure the ‘rules’ are posted next week- the same ones on your disclaimer you can access when you book (the main ones being close the gate on the car park BEFORE getting dogs out the car on leads, and returning them to their car on their lead in case someone has opened the car park gate, picking up poo and returning toys to boxes etc -they are all fairly obvious)

No new customers because there won’t be anyone to show you the setup - so get a visit in before then if you desperately need that weekend!

If you need a specific hour but don’t see it listed message me as I will jiggle. I’ve given a cushion of time so no chance of crossovers but you will need to stick to your booked times for it to work!

15/09/2023

I am delighted to let you know that Masha’s Dog Cookies will be there with a freshly made batch of cookies, and that 20% of ALL sales that day will be donated to World Horse Welfare!

So, please, make sure that you bring your family on September 24th and have fun! It is for a great cause!

Time to make some fine soup for Masha … you can try it, too! Just boil some meat (beef, chicken, lamb) or make a stock from bones and remove them after.

I fully agree with Scottish SPCA - NO DOG is ever born bad; no dog is born aggressive or "wanting" to harm any human. It is us, the humans, who do these to dogs and it is also us, the humans who should bear the full extent and force of the law if the dogs in our care injure anyone. Why would anyone punish the one we taught to misbehave or be aggressive? Why?

I've met a Staffie on the tube in London several years ago. She was as placid and cuddly as any poodle. SPCA has a Staffie to rehome at their centre in Drumoak; his name is Bo, and the poor thing is also deaf. I had my picture taken with him and he couldn't care less about me, the staff or anyone else: he just wanted to be petted and cuddled! I have a German Shephard, Masha. She is exceptionally strong for a female GS but she never bit anyone (she doesn't know how), she's never been aggressive towards any human or dog or any other pet. She is "in love" with a little poodle next door and she howls every time she hears him. She is just a big lump! But, if I hadn't trained properly, or if I had allowed her to misbehave, she may have been different. In that case, who would have been to blame? Masha or I?

We need to STOP chastising dogs or dog breeds, and start really punishing their owners.

We believe that injuries and deaths by dogs are fully preventable with responsible ownership. Action needs to be taken to better safeguard people from dangerous dogs, but banning a breed is not the solution.

Masha’s first time off the lead!

Loving every moment of her big adventure at Zoomies Aberdeen!
And her recall was superb! 🙏🙏🙏

And a fresh batch of Masha’s cookies has been left with Audrey, so please buy a bag of organic and “clean cookies” next time you’re there!

Thank you 💐



My girlie 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

Can anyone recommend a local dog portrait artist? I would need them to make Leon's portrait ... a birthday gift for my husband. He was "his dog" and, when he died two years ago, both of us went to a very dark place for a long time ...

DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG CHARCOAL, OR ANY CHARCOAL COOKIES/TREATS.

There are some wholly irresponsible dog treats/cookies makers, let alone stockists, who would make you think they are - they are far from being ok for your dog!!!

I can’t believe half of the rubbish I’m reading from pet shops on Facebook … honestly, I’m speechless! Ladies and gents, do your own research FROM SCIENTIFIC SOURCES, please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Activated charcoal for dogs and cats is used to absorb ingested toxins. But activated charcoal can be life-threatening if used incorrectly. Learn more about this poison treatment here.

🐾 Smurf and Roxy are still searching for their forever homes, after being in the care of our Lanarkshire centre for over 1,500 days combined!

Smurf has a heart of gold and a sweet nature, but can be quite boisterous so is looking for a home with older children, or no children.

Roxy was very fearful when she first arrived, but is gradually starting to love life again.

Giving a home to one of our rescue dogs can be so rewarding. They won’t just love you for being their person, they will love you for giving them a stable life and making them feel special.

We offer continued support after you rehome an animal. Our teams are able to provide professional and experienced advice at your local centre, via email or they are always just a call away.

We’re sure that with dedicated owners, Smurf and Roxy will thrive in a loving home and be fantastic companions 💜.
