Good Stuff for Good Dogs and Dog People
Cosmic Canine Creations was born in 2013 out of a desire for healthier treats for dogs. I’d learned a bit about what REALLY goes into commercial dog foods and treats, and it concerned me. I thought I could do better, so I began creating recipes. My Golden Retriever, Cosmo, was only too eager to be the taste-tester. (BTW--Cosmo is the Golden featured on our product labels, business cards, and shop window. The photo used is one of him in his younger days. He’s now almost thirteen and a bit white in the face.) At the time I started the company, I was baking in my home kitchen and selling on Facebook, but knew that I wanted to grow.
Fast-forward to July 2016...my husband and I and are dogs (by this time, we had added Tara, a Border Collie-German Shepherd-Husky to our pack) had moved to beautiful Ludington, Michigan, ten blocks from the white sand beach of Lake Michigan. After meeting with a mentor, I decided to open a real storefront. Since then, we’ve expanded our square footage once and are in the process of doing it again (and have adopted a third dog). We now have eleven varieties of treats in rotation, plus seasonal treats and birthday cakes, as well as some really great merchandise for dogs and dog people: t-shirts, hoodies, hats, mugs, tote bags, magnets, keychains, wall art, doggie life vests (in season), bandannas, Pop-Sockets, collars, and more--and we’ll be expanding merchandise lines along with the expansion in square footage. Some of our merchandise is made right here in Michigan. We also can create custom treats and gift baskets for a special occasion. We’ve got a website coming VERY soon--and you can still order through Facebook. Just let us know what you want.
Our treats are baked onsite with human-grade ingredients, NO wheat, corn, or soy EVER, and we use organics whenever possible. We’re licensed with the Michigan Department of Agriculture, so we’ve done our homework.
