Happy Halloween!
If your pet is dressed up today share a picture below.
Let's talk about Bully Sticks, Bull Pizzles, Pizzle Sticks...
What are they? They are a natural chew for your dog made from...Beef/Steer Pen*s. That's right, you read that correctly! Some of you may have known that already but many people do not.
Now why would you want to give your dog one of these? Well they are a natural, highly digestible chew, decently tough and few dogs will turn them down. Plus, chewing is a natural dog behavior that produces "feel good" chemicals in your dog's brain, such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. Chewing can also promote a strong jaw and help keep their teeth clean.
When looking for a Bully Stick for your dog my recommendation is to purchase from smaller, local pet stores as they are more likely to carry quality products. Look for ones that are 'less stinky' (I smell them in-store myself😉), otherwise your house will smell pretty unpleasant when your dog is chewing on it. Or, if you get a stinky one, make it an outside chew!
Always supervise your dog while they are chewing on it, and wash your hands after handling them. They are a higher calorie chew (but low in fat!) which means they are best fed occasionally.
Is this something you give your dog?
Local Business Feature: @primalpawsyxe
Primal Paws YXE is a small business in Saskatoon that makes and creates freeze-dried treats and meal toppers for dogs and cats.
Primal Paws YXE is located inside the Gather Local Market on Ave B South in Saskatoon. The outside market area is pet-friendly, but unfortunately due to food services, pets are not allowed indoors. Along with their freeze-dried products, Primal Paws YXE also carries a variety of other pet products including other treats and accessories from other small Saskatchewan pet businesses.
Primal Paws YXE freeze-dried treats and meal toppers are made with locally sourced ingredients. Due to the freeze-drying process, they retain most of the natural flavors and nutrients of the raw ingredients, making them extra tasty and nutritious. Freeze dried products have a great shelf life without having to use preservatives and are easy and convenient to use.
They have a variety of treat and meal topper options available and continue coming out with new products so check back regularly! You can purchase products in-store as well as online.
Fun Fact: The wall art at their in-person store was done by a local artist that specializes in pet portraits -> @bhillstudio

Did you know Sheep (and Donkeys) like swiss chard!
Do you think your Dog would enjoy a Burger cookie?!
Last time I was in Saskatoon and stopped at Barley + Blossom - Pet Boutique I picked up a few different fun and unique treats for my pets to try out. One of them was the Meaty Bubbles I shared a few weeks ago, another was an Iced Cookie shaped and decorated like a burger.
The cookie was made locally in Saskatoon by a small business, Happy Puppy Co. They make and create healthy, natural, fun and unique iced cookies in lots of different designs for different seasons and holidays. They also make custom doggy cakes for birthdays and other occasions.
Has your dog had the pleasure of enjoying one of Happy Puppy Co's treat creations?
