Bucket Dogz Homemade Dog Treats

11/02/2023

I just wanted to let all our wonderful customers know that we are sold out of everything. We are heading out to our big Vallhund show this week but will tackle restocking when we get home. I apologize for the inconvenience but will fix it asap!

09/15/2023

The Vallhunds approve of the fun new chew options I'm working on getting on the website. They feel they should get to keep them all for themselves though. 😂

Another gift basket ready to raise some money for a well deserving little family. I really enjoy putting gift baskets together. 🥰

I finally got the tugs, Tick Keys, and shampoo loaded properly to the website! Thank you Flight of the Phoenix: A Women's Empowerment Collective for always answering my plea for website help! If you need help with your website and marketing, reach out to Krystal. She's pretty darn great! 🥰

Dismantling equipment before and after use to clean and sanitize is vitally important to us and our operation, so the fact that everything in our new kitchen, from the ceiling, walls, floors, and all equipment can be sanitized has me giddy! (If I needed a sign that I'm getting old, this might be it) I seriously cannot wait to give you guys a kitchen tour when it's completed. 🥰

We need to hurry up and win the lotto so we can speed this up already. 😂

When you ask Ryka to model one of the new tug toys... and she busts out the "smolder"

06/27/2023

I have a case of the dumb over here. I added the Tick Keys and tugs to my Square site but apparently that doesn't add them to the website. 🤦‍♀️ So I can see them on my end but you guys can't see them on your end. I'll get this figured out asap. I am not great on computers, so bare with me as I bumble through this. In the mean time, private message me and I can manually place your order on my end.

I wanted to give a quick demonstration on how to use a Tick Key. They will be available shortly on our website.

I had 2 batches of treats not turn out in the making of this booth. To say I was frustrated and ready to pull the rest of my hair out is an understatement. (I stress chopped my hair before Westminister. TERRIBLE idea!) But the first vendor booth of the season pulled together better than I expected. Thank goodness! Hopefully my bad luck with butcher shops, kitchen construction, and bad hair cuts will turn around now. 😅

06/07/2023

I wanted to pop in and apologize to everyone for being terrible about posting on this page. We are still here and still plugging away at finding all of Illinois hidden requirements for small businesses as well as the seemingly never ending construction zone that is our kitchen. Hopefully we can get back to the big shows soon so we can show off some of the fun little products we have added to our inventory.... which reminds me, I need to add them to our website. 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, have a wonderful rest of your week and fingers crossed we can get this show on the road again asap!

Bucket Dogz is headed to New York City!

It's tick season! I've already been pulling them off dogs at work. I swear by these keys. Look for the display at our booths this season 🥰

Made a special tag for a cool little stinker puppy last night. Gabe is a Valkyrie Vallhund puppy, who's father is a Canadian champion. He calls Stoughton Wisconsin home now and will be hitting the show circuit with the rest of the Valkyrie crew soon as he's old enough. 🥰

The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is to bark loud for all to hear!! ~ Tank

Merry Christmas from all of the Degenhardt clan!

We hope you and the fur family got spoiled rotten this holiday season.

The commercial kitchen build out is coming along well. All walls, ceiling, and floor will be sanitizable. As well as all the stainless steel work surfaces. Al is doing a great job. We can't wait for this to be completed so we can build our stock back up for all our wonderful customers!

In the meantime, we hope you are all doing well and are all ready for the holidays. 🥰

It's surreal to me just how fast time has flown by this year. This time last year, we were eating Thanksgiving dinner on top of a mountain in Tennessee, signing the paperwork to buy Bucket Dogz, and today we start our commercial kitchen upgrade.

This has been a year of growing pains and lots of lessons! I had zero clue how hard it was going to be to make this little gem of a business, Illinois legal. Honestly, I'm still finding random things I have to do yet. I swear Illinois has a person sitting in a basement office somewhere, that is paid to hide important small business information easter eggs all over the internet and I've decided that person needs to step on a Lego.

All jokes aside, I wanted to thank you all for being patient with us, while we get this business ownership stuff figured out. We have loved running booths and introducing these awesome treats to our home area, and new dog events. We do plan to make appearances at as many events as our main jobs will allow this year, and I am not so secretly hoping to make Bucket Dogz my main focus this year.

In the meantime, I'll let you all know about events we will be attending, and restocks. We won't be producing product until the kitchen is complete, but soon as that's done... it's on like Donkey Kong!

Thank you all again for being the best customers a girl could ask for! Can't wait to get back up to 100% for you all.

Especially if they had a bag of our treats. 🤦‍♀️

09/24/2022

I think I might be doing this vending thing wrong... So far my profits have been spent at the other booths around me. 😂

Bucket Dogz is introducing our doggy crack to Stillman Valley Fall Fest this weekend. If you are in the Stillman Valley area come say hi!

I'm wanting everyone's opinion about what you all like in regards to attaching tags to collars. I personally like the 'S' hooks as my guys tend to be rough on their tags, but I've always provided the split rings to customers for their tags when you order from me. What do you all prefer? S hooks or split rings?

09/13/2022

Same...

If Tank and Piggy had longer legs... they'd be running Food Network and the world.
