Shark Bait Dog Treats

Easter is on deck!

Our next holiday is coming up, and we have your pup covered. 🐶

We are offering two different types of treat baskets. 🐣

Visit the website or send a message to purchase.

(And yes, I found bone shaped Easter eggs to fill with treats so your pup can go on a hunt, too!)

❗ Long Post Alert❗

Those who know me know what I do for a living. I'm a Diving Safety Officer at the University of Maine overseeing scuba diving within the university system. Because of this, I have a huge passion for the underwater world. A part of that is attending the annual AAUS symposium, which is the American Academy of Underwater Sciences. The University is an organizational member and has been since 1996 and we continue this long-going relationship in order to make sure that our divers can conduct underwater research efficiently, effectively and safely. 🤿🌊

AAUS reached out to all the attendees asking for donations for their raffle and because of this I thought it was a great opportunity to donate some underwater themed cookies from Shark Bait Dog Treats! Not only that, but I figured might as well make sure that they were truly Maine Made products and so I chose the honey blueberry which are made with wild Maine blueberries as well as Maine wild flower honey all around one of the better cookies and I can't wait for these to showcase at the symposium and spread Shark Bait treats with the rest of the community. 🧜

(Thanks Sew Fetch Dog Co.! 💙 I picked up the leash and p**p bag holder from The Not So Empty Nest. Go checkout their PAWESOME products!)🐾

☘Happy St. Patricks Day! ☘

I have left over Beer Mug & Shamrock cookie bags in the carob peanut butter and pumpkin cinnamon. On sale now for just $6.00 a bag. 🍻

Thank you for the provided input on the treat bags.

It made my heart feel well that everyone was onboard with the composting bags!

That said, here is the new bag size. They are 4oz bags as opposed to the 2oz. But you can manage to fit quite a lot of cookies into one. This way I can have the labels a little higher and you can see the cookies better.

I also wanted to highlight the fact that the ENTIRE label is composting. Meaning the bag and the labels. Everything from the bags I received them in, to the tape the company ships them in is composting. However, I will be using the kraft bags with the clear front for now until they are used up.

Because of this, keep in mind, this is one reason prices might be a little higher.

Thank you all for supporting my values and business!

Yesterday I posted some photos of some not so perfect cookies. When handmaking, not everything comes out right. We even get some "casualties". 🫗

That doesn't mean they go to waste though!
Meet the treat tester, Rae! Highly qualified, and gives the licks of approval for the pumpkin cinnamon treats. 🐾

Rae loves when I have cookies like these for her. ❤️

We are approaching March... This is crazy!

I'm getting busy for my first market of the season so here is what you will find there. And I'll be honest, these ones didn't come out perfect but to me, that's what makes these treats special. To know that they aren't going to be perfect because they didn't come from a factory. When I see these imperfections, I see homemade treats made with love 💕

*************

At the market there will be pumpkin cinnamon, carob peanut butter, and honey blueberry bags of shamrock ☘️ and beer mugs🍺!

I will also be bagging up small treats in bone and goldfish shapes.

📊 Poll time!

I have been thinking about changing my packaging up. Here is what I have. All the way on the right is what I currently have and on the left is what I am thinking of using. Each bag contains the same amount of treats.

What are your thoughts as a customer? Would it influence your opinion if I told you one is 100% compostable while the others, only the stickers is?

Give me your ratings/opinions in the comments! ⭐

We are preparing for our first craft fair of the year!

I'll have a bunch of my four flavors in different varieties as well as 6 treat jars filled with cookies. I even snagged this Valentine's one on sale if anyone is interested!

Keep an eye out as I'll be posting more as I prepare and sharing some cool things I will be planning on bringing.

Mark the calendars for March 15th at the Bangor Elks Club!

Henry would like to say,

📣: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! 💘

I would say by the looks of it, he gives the licks of approval on these pumpkin cinnamon conversation hearts. And Mom couldn't have staged the photos any better with those cute conversation pillows in the background! 🫶

Not too late to buy some of these treats! Message me 💌 or visit the website to purchase.
I also offer free delivery in the Bangor area.

It's friends like this that truly make the world go round!

📣 A consistent returning customer, her testimony says it all!

"I don’t even think they would touch a regular milk bone at this point lmao. And if I can buy them locally or from someone who puts care and love into making the treats, I definitely will continue buying them. I’m hoping my sisters dog will eat the treats (he is very picky) so she can also start getting them from you"

⭐This TRUELY means the world to me when I get told this. This customer purchased a 30oz jar from me filled with treats to take advantage of the treat jar discount. This is her third time bringing it back to me to fill up! ⭐

Thank you girl for your continued support and amazing words to help boost my business confidence, you know who you are 😉 💕

Valentine's day is only a few days away! Head to the website to purchase the conversation hearts, send me a message, or stop by The Not So Empty Nest and get your pup a valentine treat 💕

Sometimes, you can't resist! Found this adorable pink jar with hearts on it and knew I needed it for the treat jar collection. 💕

Holds 10oz of treats. $14 for the jar filled up with whatever flavor of my treats you'd like. Bring it back and I'll give you a 15% discount every time you bring it back to fill with more treats!

Valentine's Day is approaching!

I have quite a few bags of the conversation treats waiting to be sent to your pups favorite pal!

$6/bag, message me if interested!

Don't forget you can make a purchase through my website!

I offer delivery within a 15 mile radius to account for the fact I do not have a physical store. However, you can still pickup the Valentine's Day Gram, 3oz bags of Carob Peanut Butter and Honey Blueberry and whatever is left of my Turkey and Fish stock up at The Not So Empty Nest.

I just realized my heart photo is missing two of the cookies in it! But here is what they will look like. A 2oz bag has 12 medium hearts (it's missing BFF and a paw heart in this photo) and 12 mini hearts. 💝
Comes in just my pumpkin cinnamon flavor. $8 a bag.

Also just dropped off at The Not So Empty Nest are my other two flavors, carob peanut butter and honey blueberry in 3oz bags. $6 a bag. 🍪🍯

You can find them in the pet section to the right of the entry door along with what's left of the turkey, fish, and cheddar sweet potato flavors!
