Hungry Mutts

As dog owners ourselves, we work hard to give only the best to our pups. Our boys are constantly in training whether be in sports or obedience so we use lots of treats as  they are very  “food motivated”. Treats with high value are incredibly useful tool to use during training as a reward to work for and to keep them  concentrated on you and the learning process. But the problem is our dogs react to certain ingredients in most commercial treats found at pet stores that resulted into multiple vet visits with  allergy flare ups, ear and skin infections. We  started making our own treats so we can control what goes in it, eliminating starch and fillers while making sure it is of high value. And so, we founded Hungry Mutts so we can share these treats to your beloved pets as well.

Mutt Munch

Mutt Munch is an all-natural, handmade treat company based in Edmonton, AB. With much research and recipe testing we were able to create some of the healthiest and safest dog treats on the market!

We only use fresh, all natural ingredients in all of our treats. The variety of products we offer caters to all types of dogs and dietary needs and sensitivities! All of our products are handmade in small batches to guarantee quality.

Our philosophy is to provide a high quality, handmade dog treat that is both delicious and
nutritious. Commercial dog treats focus on being tasty and sacrifice the nutrition or add gnarly
preservatives (do you really want your dog eating butylated hydroxytoluene?). We asked
ourselves, why not have both? Turns out you can have both by using fresh, all-natural products,

along with a bit of science. Further, to help owners with sensitive allergies, we keep
to 7 ingredients or less.

​We also have a treat line specifically for cats, Cat Crunch!

Dear Dog Treat

The humble history of Dear Dog Treats is a true labour of love for Fort Saskatchewan community leader, activist, hunter and dog enthusiast, Dennis Stelmack.

Always looking for new ways to treat and train his many dogs (and to win the hearts of other canines at the dog park), Stelmack began collecting the side cuts of fat, meat and sinew from his hunting spoils that proved too difficult to consume and would slow cook them for hours over an open flame. Allowing the pieces to air dry for a few days, he would then fill his pockets with bite-sized treats for long walks at the dog park or through the community. Neighbourhood dogs soon recognized Stelmack for the wonderfully enticing aromas emanating from his pockets, and dog owners quickly came to appreciate his simple, healthy treats for the joy and delight they provided for their pets.

For all this and more, Stelmack felt compelled to write the love letter to pets and pet owners that would begin with the words Dear Dog Treats…

In fact it’s the name itself… the name Dear Dog Treats, which conjures more than anything else, the basic, yet limitless potential of the love letter: A letter of love from our family to yours, and an open invitation for you to respond with any comments or questions you might have.

Dear Dog Treats… the potential of the message that may follow this sweet salutation (when spoken by a customer who has witnessed first hand the attraction of their dog to these treats) is awe-inspiring. And yet, perhaps all of that potential can be summed up in one simple statement: Dear Dog Treats… You are loved.

Mandy Little Bark Shop

Starting out as ‘Mandy’s Little Bake Shop’, I had found my love for creating things in the kitchen.  Baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies and such for humans.  I later decided to make a shift into baking for dogs – since they make me so happy, and I love to see them get excited about something I’ve created.  It’s something different… It’s not just cakes for people – those are easy enough to find.  It’s custom goodies for our canine companions!
I use all natural ingredients – all the things that make our pups drool – and put that extra TLC into making it look great too… You might even be tempted to have a bite!

Jcork Photography

Hi! My name is Julie and I’m the person behind J Cork Photography. The other two faces behind this adventure have four paws, my dogs Maia and Ellie Mae. I started taking pictures of pets in 2016 when I was dog sitting more often than I was living at home. I loved being able to send pictures to the owners as well as my family to brag about the cute animals I got to spend time with. Over the last few years, I have progressed from a cell phone camera and pet sitting to a much better camera and two dogs of my own. I am adore to taking pictures of animals and adore revealing the images I have captured to owners. While my true passion is photographing pets, I also offer portrait sessions, engagement sessions, and capturing small events up to 25 people. I have taken multiple photography courses both in person and online, and I am working towards a photography diploma.

A few Other Canadian Companies

Dog Dog Goose

In a world where “fast fashion” dominates and everything is cheap and disposable, I have made it my goal to create lasting, quality products. I have spent time sourcing durable materials that can withstand anything your dog throws at them, and I have crafted a lifetime hardware warranty to back it up. I make strong efforts in my workshop everyday to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics and eliminate as many waste by-products as possible. Almost all of the off-cut material produced is saved and re-purposed towards other DDG products. Our bandanas allow us to both support local rescue efforts by donating proceeds to various rescue organizations (DDG Rescue Series Bandanas) as well as work together with talented artisans and illustrators to promote collaboration over competition in the small business world (DDG Artisan Series Bandanas).

Spawts

Whether you’re welcoming a new furry family member or saying goodbye to a loved one, we hope to help provide a lasting piece that can bring the happy memories to mind for years to come. Celebrating every step of life is what we do.
