The Natural State of Pet Products

W

Whether you need pet treats, supplies or advice- you can find it all here in the Natural State. The animals who fill our lives and homes make Arkansas even better. Here are some stores in Arkansas that sell products that are made here too.

 

 

Bow Wow & Meow- Bakery and Boutique

This is the sixth year April Mayfield, owner of Bow Wow and Meow, has been making tails wag with excitement at her great bakery and boutique where owners can bring their leashed pets. Why leave them at home when you can let them sniff out what they want for themselves?

Usually, we tend to feel a bit guilty as our pets watch us eat. Here you’ll find that the opposite is true. Bow Wow and Meow has a big selection of edibles for your pet: birthday cakes, cupcakes, brownies, whoopie pies and pizza. Yes, pizza! They have dessert pizza and their popular Pupperoni pizza. Don’t worry- it isn’t real pepperoni. Theirs is topped with yogurt or peanut butter shaped like pepperoni.

 

Everything is baked fresh, on-site where you (and your pet) can see and smell what’s cooking. You can pick out the perfect cake to celebrate your pet and have it personalized.

They need two days notice for birthday cakes. Cakes start at $12.50. They offer small, medium, large and extra large. Cupcakes are $3 each. Whoopie pies and brownies are $4.50 each.

If cats can play games on phones, then I think you should let your dog pick out what they want for a treat. No matter what, you can check out Bow Wow and Meow in person, on paws or on Facebook. Check them out on Instagram- where they love to feature their 4-legged clients.

Claudia’s Canine Bakery

Claudia’s Canine Bakery is a wholesale bakery in Maumelle, Arkansas. Since 1997, they have specialized in quality, wholesome dog treats. All of their products are made with all-natural, high-quality ingredients. Each treat is made with love and compassion, right here in Arkansas.

They are styled to be attractive to both pets and owners. They have designs for birthdays, Halloween, Christmas and everything else.

20 years ago, their founder had gotten a golden retriever puppy. That is when Claudia discovered that some of the most popular dog treat brands all contained some amount of harmful ingredients. This didn’t sit well with her or the puppy she named Daisy. She set out to find a safer treat alternative, but ultimately realized the only solution to her problem was to create her own!

Claudia transformed her small apartment kitchen into a micro-bakery and began to make her homemade dog biscuits and cookies. After experimenting with different recipes and using her golden retriever, Daisy, as her taste tester, Claudia’s Canine Bakery was born.

While they don’t sell directly to the public, you can find their goodies in local stores, such as Petsense, Doggy Daddy and Just Dogs Gourmet. Also, a local company called Pear Orchard Products sells their items in their Amazon store.

You can follow them on Facebook to see what they have cooking right here in Arkansas for pets nationwide.
