Spreading the Word about Spay / Neuter
Pampered Paw Gifts shares, "We believe very strongly in helping to end the never-ending cycle of killing millions of perfectly healthy, loveable dogs and cats. So much of this needless killing could be prevented by spaying / neutering your pets, to prevent the cycle of unwanted, homeless animals."

From everyday items like bowls and beds, to special holiday gifts and treats, to resources about rescue, Pampered Paw Gifts has a lot to offer the dog loving shopper.

Bark & Beg Joins Dog Friendly Companies - Offers Gourmet Dog Treats, Dog Birthday Cakes and Other Treats For Your Dogs

We are proud to welcome Bark & Beg to our group of dog friendly companies.

Bark & Beg, LLC• PO Box 801624 Acworth, Georgia 30101 • Phone (404) 395-9069 • Request information about Bark & Beg's products • Visit the Bark & Beg website

ABOUT BARK & BEG

Bark & Beg offers custom made, freshly baked dog treats with all natural human grade ingredients, and no artificial colors, chemicals, salt, preservatives, or by-products.

The company was founded in 2009 by Jeff and Amy Luce, who grew up around dogs, giving them a comprehensive understanding of the happiness dogs bring to people's lives.

The Luces share, "As adults, we realized our dogs require nutritious food and all natural treats so that they can live longer and healthier lives with us."

Bark & Beg founders Jeff and Amy Luce.

That philosophy helped spur an interest in baking healthy, natural dog treats. A passion for biscotti sealed the deal, when the Luces' daughter, Kirsten, made biscotti for the family's beagles. The family shared their fresh biscotti with friends, who loved them and requested more. This finalized the decision to take this on as a professional endeavor, and Bark & Beg was born.

Along with everyday goodies for dogs, Bark & Beg also creates items for special occasions and holidays, including birthday cakes and wedding cakes, holiday cookies, gift baskets and more.

Bark & Beg cares about your dog's health as well as taste. That's why they use safflower oil in their treats–this, they share, "helps to control shedding, is great for the skin, and is an all natural preservative."

Satisfaction Guaranteed
Dodger, their beagle, is the official taste tester for Bark & Beg. He is so confident in the taste and quality of Bark & Beg treats that he (and his human parents) will provide a full refund or product swap it if your dog does approve. The Luces share, "if Dodger doesn't like the treat, then the recipe goes in the garbage can."

Bark & Beg offers many varieties of treats, including:

• Country Carrot Treats
• Howlin' Honey Cookies
• Pumpkin Bones
• Peanut Butter Belly Treats
• Dodger's Gourmet Snack Pack–sampling of Peanut Butter Belly Treats, Pumpkin Bones, Country Carrot Treats, and Howlin' Honey Cookies

They offer several other varieties, including many holiday treats made with ingredients like peanut butter, pumpkin and carob.

Bark & Beg also offers sample recipes, available on the Bark & Beg website.

The company offers wholesale opportunities to brick and mortar businesses. If interested in wholesaling with Bark & Beg, please contact them. Bark & Beg also has a "Good Dog of The Month Club"–enter to win free Bark & Beg treats.
