LAP DOG!

Howdy from Blue Dog Bakery!

"The greatness and morality of a nation can be determined by the way it treats its animals". Mahatma Ghandi

First, we send a big THANK YOU to all of you who have helped out by supporting the numerous pet rescue organizations around the country and in LA, MI, TX and AL. The physical toll on these animals is enormous. The emotional toll on their owners, who were forced to leave them behind, is unimaginable. Our hearts go out to all those who suffered, both two legged and four legged. Remember, we have an automatic “yes” policy for any organization involved in animal rescue, be it a large or small organization. Just ask! We are here to help. Margot

Recap of CHANGES AT TRADER JOE’S
For all of you who have called and emailed us wondering why you can’t find our treats at Trader Joe’s any more, here is the scoop! At Trader Joe’s all products will soon be just their private label treats.

On the West Coast we still make ALL their private label treats (PB, Cheese, Chicken, Bacon & Cheese and Assorted Treats) in fun shapes like cats, squirrels, fire hydrant, etc. and they are the same quality as our BDB branded treats. These treats are low fat, just like our regular Blue Dog branded treats, too.

On the East Coast and Midwest, TJ’s has decided to have an east coast company make their private label treats for stores east of the Mississippi. We no longer make any products found at these stores :(


HAVE A WONDERFUL FALL!!! Margot
