Let's face it, our furry companions deserve the world or at least the tastiest treats and the most stylish collars. But with endless options available, finding the perfect spot to pamper your pup can feel overwhelming. 

Fear not, fellow pet parents! This blog unveils the secrets to spoiling your dog, guiding you to the best places for fresh-baked pet food and supplies.

The Allure of Fresh-Baked Treats

Say goodbye to mass-produced kibble treats and hello to the delightful world of fresh-baked goodies for your dog. At Treats Unleashed, our handmade treats are baked fresh and in small batches, and are made by hand to guarantee freshness and quality. Each Treats Unleashed treat is mixed from scratch and cut by hand.

Fresh-baked treats often use wholesome, real ingredients like fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and whole grains.

Treats Unleashed is no exception, as we use only human-grade ingridients for our treats. We started this trend with our classic Apple Cinnamon Hearts recipe that got us started in 2002, and have continued to add delicious options like our savory Smokey Beef Bones, addicting Cheese Quackers, and Peanut Butter Barkers made with - you guessed it - human-grade peanut butter.

This makes them a healthier choice than those packed with artificial flavors and preservatives from larger factory outlets. When you choose fresh-baked treats, you give your dog a snack made with care and high-quality ingredients, all baked with love by local bakers.

There's something special about giving your dog a homemade treat with love. It adds a personal touch, showing your furry friend how much they mean to you. Fresh-baked treats are perfect for spoiling your pup in style and making them feel extra special.

Fresh-baked treats can be a game-changer for dogs with sensitive stomachs or allergies. Many bakeries offer custom-made treats with limited ingredients, ensuring your pup gets a delicious snack that won't upset their tummy.

At Treats Unleashed, we list all the ingridients we use on each and every label. Ingridient lists are short, and we offer options for pups with allergies, such as our Grain-Free Mutter-Butter Soft Bites.

The Importance of a High-Quality Collar

A collar is more than just a fashion accessory; it's a vital part of your dog's daily life. Choosing the right one is essential for several reasons, and we have several options and brands to choose from in many sizes and colors.

But finding the perfect fit isn't just about color and design - fit and functionality are incredibly important and go hand-in-hand.

First and foremost, comfort and safety are key. A well-fitting collar should be comfortable for your dog, preventing chafing or irritation. It should also be the right size to hold your pup's ID tag and leash securely.

Durability is another crucial factor. Dogs are little adventurers, and a high-quality collar needs to withstand daily wear and tear, playful tugs, and even those spirited zoomies sessions.

Remember to let your dog's personality shine! High-quality collars come in various styles, materials, and colors, so you can pick one that matches your pup's personality and style.

One crucial tip is to make sure the collar fits properly. You should be able to comfortably slip two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.

Don't know how to tell if your collar/harness fits properly? A Treats Unleashed staff member can help make-sure that the fit is just right. Bring your furry pet in to shop for a collar or harness, and let our team help you find the perfect size that will keep your furry friend safely tethered to you without causing harm/discomfort.
