Store Highlight: Dog Friendly Ice Cream

We all have our moments of weakness where we crave a chocolatey, caramel oozing ice cream so we contemplate heading over to Sweet Jesus Ice Cream to cure the craving. However, the best feeling of all is when you discover a treat that tastes like all the bad sugars and sweets you desire, yet provides you with healthy protein and natural sugars that our body needs. That is what Canadian Barkerandsnouts provides, however, it’s for our dogs! They create a locally made, all natural organic dog friendly ice cream which is conveniently sold at The Dog Bowl. 

All Dogs & Dog Lovers Welcome

Alright, so what are you waiting for? Grab your pup, your hipster tote bag, and head over to The Dog Bowl. Jason ensures that when sourcing products, it is about finding recipes with unprocessed ingredients or gear with most durable materials. Additionally, supporting fellow Canadian owned businesses and knowing that the freshest ingredients and materials are being sourced not-so-far from home adds that extra layer of confidence when making a purchase. Dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome!
