It's What To Know Wednesday!!

Just a brief update about what's happening behind the scenes.

❤ I (Jo) will be out of town for the next 4-5 days to visit and help care for my mom. She had a pretty bad stroke in June (a few days after her 89th birthday) and we're always praying for her recovery and healing. If I don't respond to emails/messages in a prompt manner, or our social medias go quiet for a few days, you'll understand why.
🎃Howloween is around the corner!! Don't forget to order some special treats for your pup!
👩‍🌾Our next show will be on October 18th at Schwartz Farms in Hegins, PA! We're looking forward to meeting new friends!
🐾If you missed our post earlier today, Ashley and I are crazy busy in the kitchen! When Ashley counted it up and told me how many batches of biscuits we have to make before the end of October, my soul left my body. We're incredibly grateful for all of the opportunities!! But if you see us at the end of this month looking like we haven't slept in weeks, chugging caffeine, and babbling nonsense, mind your business, lol!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

To our BUSINESS FRIENDS, we can't fulfill any additional orders or requests for restocks until November. What does this really mean? We can accept your order but we can't bake for it until November which means you would receive it no earlier than the 2nd week of November. Please consider this when planning for/ordering holiday treats.

(Side note: if you're a retailer thinking about placing an order for holiday sales, DO IT NOW! Get in our queue so that you can receive your items before Thanksgiving!)

If you've already placed an order or requested a restock, you're all set and we're working on it!

To our CUSTOMERS, you can still order as usual at any time. Get those Halloween orders in ASAP, though!! 👻

"Jo, this is a weird post. What in the world is going on?" I'm so glad you asked!

We're facing a really great problem to have for a small business --- TONS OF ORDERS! 🥰

When considering the amount of orders we have from our retailers right now, plus a busy show season, it feels kind of like we have to prepare for 5 or 6 BIG shows inside of about 2 1/2 weeks. And we only have 2 bakers -- me and Ashley. Trust me, we're not complaining! ❤ We simply want to be transparent so we don't disappoint our business friends.

Growing pains, my friends. And it's freaking awesome!! Might have to think about hiring a 3rd baker at some point in 2026 😉

Every time I'm at Walmart or Target, or even some big box pet supply stores, I see some really cute Halloween treats that EVEN I'M tempted to buy! I'm a sucker for adorable dog things.

If I'm being honest, I have no love for Milkbones but I dig this bucket of fun shapes and cool treat colors! Then I read the label. Let me break down some of these ingredients for you:

🤧 Did you see the list of 5 artificial colors at the very bottom, including Red 40 and Yellow 5? NO! Come on, we all know these aren't even good for us let alone our dogs.

🤢 Meat Meal: this is a dry, brown powder derived from animal parts that aren't fit for human consumption. It's supposed to be protein rich, which is why it's an additive in dog foods. It goes through a rendering process (aka: cooking raw foods at high temps....helloooo carcinogens) to remove moisture and separate the melted fats from the proteins and bone solids. The other reason it's added to dog foods is to prevent spoilage by reducing moisture in the other protein sources of the food. No thank you. Not for my dog.

😣Bone Meal: it is what you probably think it is -- ground up bones. This isn't a bad thing. It provides calcium and phosphorous and is high in nutrients and protein. My issue is that I don't trust commercial dog food companies. I don't trust how or where they're sourcing their ingredients. So from my perspective, bone meal isn't a bad thing if you trust the source. There are some other issues stemming from bone meal, although not necessarily common. Intestinal obstructions and pancreatitis, to name a couple. Plus, bone meal can come from any animal so it's best to avoid it if your dog is allergic to certain proteins.

😡BHA/BHT: there are 2 mentions of BHA in the ingredient list and 1 mention of BHT. This isn't good. Both are chemical preservatives that prevent fats and oils in dog foods from spoiling. They're found in human foods, too. We try really hard in our household to not consume foods that list BHA/BHT in the ingredients, and the same for Storm. BHA (and BHT) is a known carcinogen for humans and can be just as bad for dogs. It can have adverse effects on your dog's kidney and liver and can irritate their skin and eyes.

Moral of the story: if you want some cute Halloween treats for your pup, choose to buy fresh treats from your favorite, local, fully licensed & insured dog treat baker instead!

Hey, hey friends!! It's the Thursday version of What To Know Wednesday!!!

Before I dive in, did you see that we're going to be at the Ricketts Hard Cider Fall Festival in Benton this Sunday from 1-5pm?? So excited to say hi to everyone and have a cider!

Second, did you know that our friends at Biscuit Authority LLC are at the Covered Bridge Festival this week??! Definitely check them out! Storm loves every dang thing from them!

Let me tell you, Ashley and I have been crazy busy lately! I keep saying things like "there's no way we can get this all done" and "we can't take on anything else right now," and she keeps saying things like, "we're gonna crush the end of this year" and "the dough gods have smiled upon me" and "Chill. We're just vibing. We can do this."

But you know what? Even when it feels like we can't possibly do one more thing, we do the dang thing. And I'm grateful that we have allllll the things to do, and allllll the baking, and allllll the opportunities!

Also, a big thanks to our retail partners who are part of the reason we've had so many opportunities opened to us!

It's Tasty Treat Tuesday!!!

These paws-itively spooky, Grain Free PB & Pumpkin Biscuits come in a variety of adorable Howloween shapes. They are also a great surprise for those canine trick-or-treaters barking at your door.

All of our Howloween treats come in our super cute Jack-O-Lantern packages while supplies last!

The fiber in pumpkin can soothe an upset tummy and remove excess water in your dog's digestive tract. The prebiotics in pumpkin will also support the good bacteria in your dog's digestive tract. Pumpkin, a natural anti-inflammatory, contains Vitamin E which can help support your dog's ability to reduce skin irritations.

All-natural peanut butter is packed with lots of vitamins, including Vitamin E which helps promote healthy muscles, supports the skin and coat, and boosts eye health for your pup. Peanut butter also contains manganese, which dogs need to metabolize proteins and carbohydrates. The phosphorus in peanut butter helps to keep your pup’s teeth and bones strong!

Gluten, wheat and grain free.
