I am thrilled to let you know that we are at Trader's World in Building 8!

We have our amazing Bear Bones Bakery treats in several different flavors: especially our best sellers, Peanut Butter & Bacon, Punkin' Pie, and Meatball.

We have Paw Balm, proudly made by my dear friends Teresa and Marvin.

We have a New product they made, Peace & Love Calming Balm. This came about when a customer of mine said she was allergic to the coconut in the original Paw Balm. So this new one contains Mango Butter (makes it a little more expensive, but has the same quality I have come to expect from anything Teresa and Marvin make).

Both of those products are available in 2 oz jars, so you can be comfortable packing it into your carry on without TSA having any issues!

We also have toys! Yes, toys! Ropes, Pet Pockets and more!

While there, make sure to pick up some bags to pick up after your dog! We have them in Lavender and Unscented!

And, of course, we have Bear Bones Bakery leashes, bandanas and keychains! Your dog will be styling on his walks!

Grizzly says it's smart to come out and see us at Trader's World!

Hello all! I am very excited to let you all know that I have a new flavor in our Bear Bones Bakery lineup! A customer asked me to bake with CBD oil, and that was a huge NO right away, because there is no way to control the amount of treats different sized dogs would get. I am no vet, so would not be happy risking adding this to my treats. Dog safety would prohibit this addition...

To my surprise, she then suggested Melatonin. Okay, I have to say I do NOT have a poker face, so she could clearly tell that this was another huge NO WAY. Again, I would not give either to my dogs, so would not in any way consider giving that to any other dogs!

With all of my treats, if I wouldn't eat them, I don't feed them to my dogs. If my boys won't eat them, they do not get into my Bear Bones Bakery line to feed your dogs!

What I did, however, was go through making treats that contain natural ingredients that would help calm a dog...and weeks of attempting to get the amounts right resulted in Chalming Dog!

Chalming Dog (pronounced Calming Dog), contains chamomile, coconut and vanilla, all ingredients that my boys absolutely LOVED!

If it is any indication of the success of this new flavor, I have not been able to keep it in stock at Trader's World (in building 8, so come visit and get your treats)!

Not yet lab tested, but heading that way ASAP--and looking forward to hearing back from those of you that purchased my new flavor as to how your dogs liked them, and if you think it helps calming them!

Of course, with my boys, they love any flavor treat I bake. Grizzly and Maverick both dislike fireworks and thunder, so I am hoping to keep some at the house to test on them! LOL

We are so excited to welcome little sweet Astro to the Bear Bones Bakery Family! He is my newest Grandpup, and I just love him and his puppy breath!

He enjoyed visiting me before my daughter had him for 24 hours, and of course I had to give him a Peanut Butter Training Treat (yes, he loved it, gobbled it up, and even went sniffing for crumbs.

Do you want some yummy Bear Bones Bakery Treats?

I am so very excited to tell you that not only are they being given out at McClure chiropractic office (where Grizzly gets adjusted, and just LOVES his visits to 'Doc' and staff) for all dogs coming to get adjusted...

They are now also available at Germantown Vet's office!

I think that's a ringing endorsement for the Bear Bones Bakery treats!

Hello all!

We have been baking and shipping our amazing Bear Bones Bakery treats to a lab for an analysis to put onto our boxes. It is so amazing to now be able to share more information with you!

We are also going to add the ingredients on a new label, so you know that these amazing flavors of our Bear Bones Bakery treats are also made with natural ingredients!

So we are also going to be adding this information from the lab onto each flavor on the website for you to be able to see...

And speaking of seeing... We ordered 2 new signs for displaying at events, so that we will be visible from each direction (and I am also working on display ideas as well)!

Check out our events section, we will be updating that as we find more events!

Megan, Grizzly and Maverick

Hello all! Grizzly, Maverick and Megan have been baking Training Treats by the Pound, for your enjoyment.

It is a great price, $16.00 per pound, or $8.00 a half pound!

We have fixed shipping, and $100 orders ship free! All others ask ahead...

So go out and mix and match your flavors...but let Megan know what you wish to order, because the website ordering would charge the fee on each pound. 

We are also available to deliver locally!

Grizzly and Maverick want to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween! They had lots of fun seeing the kids dressed up, and a bunch of dogs too!

Maverick dressed up like Cookie Monster for his very 1st Halloween (and turned 9 months old a few days before). 

Grizzly, of course, was the treat guard, of both the Tootsie Rolls and the Bear Bones Bakery treats we handed out to people who had dogs with them, or told us they had dogs...

I also got a picture of Luna and Warrior in their Halloween finest...

I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween.

From all of us at Bear Bones Bakery, here's hoping today was full of treats (and Grizzly and Maverick sure got to taste test while Megan baked!), and no tricks.

Grizzly here, and I have to tell you all about what mom and I did today...I had so much fun! We had the Craft Show at the Butler County Fairgrounds, and I had so much fun sniffing all the smells from the fair. Mom said I smelled horse smells and pig smells!

We set up our yummy Bear Bones Bakery Treats, and I just sniffed all the yummy goodies! But I know Mommy says they are for other doggos to have my treats, so I was a good boy (although you know my Mommy shared some with me, because after all, they are named after me and I am a taste tester!).

These were the Training Treats Mom had boxed up and priced, in single flavors...

Mom also had Training Treats available to mix and match by the pound...

And some of our Full Size Bear Bones Bakery flavors (which are part of the Baker's Dozen, so you get a 13th box free...I suggest either Bacon, Bacon or Bacon & Cheese, Please, but they are ALL favorites, because Mom makes yummy treats!).

Our friend, Miss Dolce, was in the booth next to us...She is so nice to me, and pets me, and loves on me, and I just love going over to say hello to her. Mommy took this picture of me sitting by her homemade frames with Dog themes...

Then when the doors opened up, I was ready for Meet & Greet time! Dad said that is my job, and I just love meeting new people!

A new friend came to smell my treats, and pick which ones to get (and brought a 9 week old puppy with her too)! 

My new friend must have LOVED my Bear Bones Bakery treats, because I got kisses...

Thank you to all of the NEW friends who came to visit and give me pets. Thank you to all the friends that already knew me who came to visit and give me pets. Thank you to everyone who tells my Mommy how much they love my treats that she makes, because I love seeing my Mommy happy! 

You all make Mommy and me very happy! So thank you very much for being so wonderful.

Love, Grizzly

YES PLEASE! I am patiently waiting, MOM! You said PEANUT BUTTER!

DID YOU SAY PEANUT BUTTER? Brother, is Mom opening Peanut Butter? I better get off the bed before she realizes (cause I'm not supposed to be up here, but Dad let me...). I want PEANUT BUTTER!

Okay, so now that my 2 boys are drooling...being Taste Testers and Quality Control is a job they take very seriously! I am going to let you know why Peanut Butter treats are Bear Bones Bakery Best Sellers!

The original Peanut Butter, has been a recipe I have been making for my personal dogs WAY before I started Bear Bones Bakery (we aren't going to admit how long that is, but since I was 12). 

Grizzly is getting a little older (aren't we all, lol) so PB&T came to be part of our Peanut Butter flavors. It is the regular Peanut Butter treat, with a hint of turmeric. This is good for joint health.

Peanut Butter and Bacon, well, what could be better? Grizzly and Maverick seemed to think nothing would be better...They line up in the kitchen, in the hopes that while mixing, rolling and baking, Mom might just drop something on the floor that they can gobble up.

Well, I wasn't done with the Peanut Butter flavors! My daughter's Landseer Newfoundland, Warrior, has a NEW flavor! Warrior's a Cheesy-Nut is a peanut butter and cheese treat, which came to be in Aug 2021 after Tori asked me for a flavor for him. I was eating cheese crackers filled with peanut butter at the time, so came home and made a test batch. 

Being that Warrior seems to be a slightly picky eater, I was THRILLED he gobbled them up! 

Of course, then Tori mentioned her boyfriend, Chase, eating the same crackers I love, and sharing with Warrior. I am still laughing!

Our Peanut Butter treats are available By the Pound. They are easy to break if you need smaller sized treats for smaller dogs. They are chock full of yummy goodness!

Grizzly gives 4 paws up! Maverick gives 4 paws up! Warrior gives 4 paws up!

Your doggos will be thrilled at getting any one of our Bear Bones Bakery Peanut Butter Flavors.

Thank you for your support~

Megan, Grizzly, Maverick (and Warrior)

My amazing daughter, Tori, went with me on Saturday Aug 14, 2021 to the St Brigid Festival. I was just so thrilled that she wanted to come help me with Bear Bones Bakery treats! And she just absolutely amazed me (yes, I am one proud momma!)

This is my daughter, with a beautiful smile to match her beautiful huge heart. Again, proud Momma!

So she knows I have come up with flavors in honor of some people and fur babies in my life...and asked me in between her telling people about how "Mom makes all these dog treats, with no preservatives or additives, and all human grade ingredients!" and learned how to do all the sales (which was amazing!), if I would make a flavor in honor of her Landseer Newfoundland, Warrior.

Ok, so those of you that have been friends for a long time, like while Bear Bones Bakery was still in the thinking process, know that I was teased about having a "Bakery Brain" quite often. It has yielded some flavors that have been very popular.

When Tori asked for a flavor for Warrior, I was quite honored. Warrior is my grand dog, after all! And while he loves salmon and lamb to eat, it would make those treats too expensive to offer in the regular line. Not to mention, when I tried salmon treats, the smell was one I opted not to bake again...LOL.

We spent quite a while tossing ideas back and forth. I told her I could rename the Peanut Butter & Bacon for him, or one of the other flavors. My daughter wanted a new one...and since I was eating a peanut butter filled cheese cracker at the time, I teased her about a Peanut Butter & Cheese. She, of course, immediately grinned and said yes!

Now, ideas are just the start of new flavors. I have to practice to get the correct ingredients at the right amounts, then see if they bake the way I want them, before I am willing to add them to the Bear Bones Bakery list of approved flavors. So I made absolutely no promises, and told her I would try just because she asked me for a flavor. I would do just about anything to make my daughter smile, and this sure got a big smile.

So I came home, and made the Peanut Butter and Cheese. But then I needed to get a name that she would approve too! After all, it was something to make her even more happy.

She wanted Warrior's name in the name of the treat, which is something I have only done once, in regards to Chewy (who crossed the rainbow bridge). It was very hard to think about putting another name into a treat name...but we finally found one she liked.

Warrior's a Cheesy-Nut came to be. It is a peanut butter and cheese treat.

Here's Warrior, the Grand Pup. His new flavor is one sure to be loved by all of your doggos as much as Grizzly and Maverick enjoyed being taste testers for...and their tails wagged and they drooled. They also like being Quality Control Supervisors!

Thank you, Tori, for being the amazing young lady you are, and for asking me to do something for your pup! I love you both very much!

I am so very excited. After quite literally months of trying to get dog hair out of my new van, and I mean months, I found a product that had me doing the happy dance and giggling with glee in my driveway today (for those of you that know me, that says quite a lot about my level of excitement).

We always put down sheets or blankets on the floor of the van, to contain dog hair (unsuccessfully, since Grizzly and now Maverick walk around and the floor gets exposed). Dog hair is very difficult to get out of carpet on van or car floors!

Have you ever tried? I tried the shop vac, no success. I tried the vac at the car wash, no success. I tried a sticky lint roller, not only no success, but a resounding failure of epic proportions! Then I tried wrapping duct tape around my hand and mistakenly assumed that would work! HA HA HA

I even bought a grooming glove with little points on it...again, no success.

The service department with my van said use nitrile gloves. No success. I was totally at my whit's end thinking my nice black carpet in my van would permanently be coated in dog hair like super glue!

Then I went to a store, where the manager saw Grizzly with me, and mentioned having 2 labs at home that got dog hair everywhere! Which started a conversation about the van floor. And she had a fantastic idea...

Chom Chom. Yes, Chom Chom. I thought she said chomp, chomp, but she told me how to spell it, mentioned it got dog hair out of EVERYWHERE she tried to remove hair. I was a sceptic. After all these attempts, I think anyone would be!

I went onto Amazon, found it, and a video about how to use it. Looked simple, and I decided to try one last time before considering ripping carpet out of the van to remove the hair! I ordered it after watching a video about the product.

OH MY GOSH! Now I am so happy it is amazing! I got it out of the package today, knowing to be more aggressive on rolling to get the hair up, and went outside to try on the carpet!

If you want to do a happy dance yourself, get hair out with ease, empty from the back with ease, and not go crazy like I did...Get on Amazon and order yourself a Chom Chom!
