We love our hard working barn cats.

Barn cats are essential to our lives on the farm. They provide a most valuable service of pest control. But have you ever wondered how cats on farms came to be? 🤔

Cats are believed to have descended primarily from the African wildcat in the Fertile Crescent and ancient Egypt. Domesticated cats were seen as early as the Neolithic period when ancient humans allowed cats to come into their homes to deter pests such as snakes. This led to the cat being viewed as a sacred creature.

It’s thought that cats likely came to Europe and America on ships sailed with famous explorers such as Christopher Columbus and the early Jamestown settlers. Cats were welcomed into barns where grain storage naturally attracted rodents. Some of these cats remained feral, others semi feral, but by the 19th and 20th century cats were viewed as companions and beloved house pets as well! 🐱

Fun fact: cats were used by the early United States Postal Service as mousers! Paper attracts mice who love to build their nests out of it and the cats served as a way to keep mail safe 💌

Today we can’t help but imagine a barnyard without at least one cat. 🐈 Treat them well to thank them for these years of service by shopping for Barn Kat Krunchies online at BarnDogBites.com 👏

We ❤️ our barn kitties!

What’s so special about treats made specifically for barn cats? 🐱 Barn cats have different needs than those of a house cat. They’re working hard and we rely on them to act as exterminators. Our treats are made with quality limited ingredients with the first two ingredients being chicken and fish. 🐟 They’re protein rich to support the heavier workload of the barn cat 💪 And they come in a small crunchy treat which is perfect for adjusting the amount of treat for each barn cat and the crunchy texture can help maintain dental health 🦷

We ❤️Cashew, our hard-working farm dog.

We created Barn Dog Bites with the hard working dog in mind! But these hard working dogs come in all shapes and sizes. The most common are from the following breed groups:

🐶 Working Group - developed to assist humans doing tasks like pulling carts, guarding farms, and providing protection. Common working group breeds include: Rottweilers, Mastiffs, and Great Pyrenees.

🐶 Hound Group - the hunting dogs bred to chase and track prey. Have you ever been fox hunting? If so you know that hound dogs are some of the most popular dogs around a horse farm! Common breeds: Bloodhound, Beagle, and Foxhound.

🐶 Sporting Group - another group of hunting dog! Think Labradors, Pointers, Retrievers, and Spaniels. Those Springer Spaniels sure were popular at Land Rover KY 3 Day Event this year!

🐶 Terrier Group - Terriers were bred to pursue vermin. These feisty dogs act as the extermination team on many farms. Breeds include: Jack Russel, Bull Terrier, and Rat Terrier.

🐶 Herding Group - this group seems the most obvious. Bred to move livestock, herding dogs are the quintessential . Border Collies, German Shepherds, and Corgis are typical herding breeds we see around the barn!

Of course many dog lovers find breeds from the Toy and Non Sporting groups offer the perfect pint sized companionship they’re looking for! Chihuahuas and French Bulldogs often dominate large show grounds. And undeniably, the all American mutt dog is a great choice of . What can we say, we love them all! ❤️ What kind of dog do YOU have on your farm!? Tell us in the comments ⬇️
