Farm to Fluffy

You cannot give gifts without some treats…or at least that is what your pet will say! So if you are going to give them treats, you should make sure they are healthy, yummy and perhaps a brand that focused on sustainability. Meet Farm to Fluffy.

Farm to Fluffy is a brand made for pet parents who treat their dogs like family. Kathryn, Farm to Fluffy founder, created these yummy treats with clean, simple ingredients…nothing artificial, just protein-forward and air-dried to preserve nutrients and flavor. Trustworthy and delicious, it’s a treat pups love. And they have the Boho Blue Bonus! Farm to Fluffy is committed to the environment, using upcycled ingredients and recycled packaging.

Kathryn’s story is about love, resilience, and the deep bond between pets and their owners. And you can bond with your canine companion by giving them Farm to Fluffy this holiday season.

Our dogs went crazy for all three of their flavors. And they are large enough to break apart for smaller portion or to use as training treats and we love that! We also love the fact that these are made from wholesome ingredients.

Geo-Sniffing

Did you know that dogs “see” the world through their noses?

Dogs don’t just sniff—they decode the world through their noses. While humans rely on sight, dogs lean heavily on smell, dedicating a massive part of their brain to analyzing scents. With over 100 million sensory receptors (compared to our 6 million), dogs can smell 1,000 to 10,000 times better than us. A single sniff tells a story—dogs can sense mood, gender, health, and even what another dog had for lunch. They use scent to recognize old friends, catch up on what they missed, and map out their surroundings. Their noses even act like compasses, pinpointing the direction of smells. For dogs, every whiff is like reading a book about the world around them! So it is no surprise that anything having to do with sniffing, will keep them and their brains active for hours…and that is a good thing!

Geo-Sniffing has taken that innate ability and turned into a fun, interactive game (several, actually). Their mission is to entertain & occupy a dog's mind by creating a game just for them that is centered around smells.

Geo-Sniffing created scented hide-and-seek pods that are sure to be your pup’s new favorite toy. Designed to make playtime more exciting, these interactive pods come with a variety of fun games to keep dogs of all levels entertained. This hide-and-seek game taps into your pup’s incredible sense of smell, challenging them to track down a scented toy hidden outdoors. Play solo, letting your dog sniff out the prize on their own, or team up—one person hides the toy, and your dog leads you to the spot for the final discovery.

And they are eco-friendly and thoughtfully crafted. Bonus! The toy is made from biodegradable wood, so if it’s ever lost in nature, it will break down naturally. The birch-derived scent is irresistible to dogs, and the toy’s size ensures it’s safe for even the largest breeds. It’s durable, earth-conscious, and perfect for rugged outdoor fun! Whether it’s sniffing, searching, or just bonding with you, these pods turn every moment into an adventure.

We just started to play with these with our Australian Shepherds and they are definitely intrigued. We are very excited to explor with them more and teach them some new games. Geo-Sniffing is the perfect gift for an active pup!

CHEWMATE

Did you know that up to 80% of dogs have gum disease and only 20% of owners know about it? Crazy, right?

CHEWMATE’s story began as most company’s do, by coming up with a solution to a problem. Two hygienist and dentist dog owners struggled to brush their dog’s teeth, so they created the TreatBrush, a self-brushing toothbrush toy that cleans your dog’s teeth, gums, and tongue while they chew. Genius! Because really…who has the time or patience to brush their dog’s teeth? Their mission is to make oral hygiene easy, affordable, and fun with their line of innovative dental toys for dogs and cats, designed to prevent dental disease and promote better health. And we love that!

Just choose a bone or a football in your favorite color and let CHEWMATE take of the rest! The TreatBrush was scientifically designed to make pet oral care easy, engaging, and fun. As your dog chews, their teeth reach the patented "Floss Slots," brushing all the way to the gum line. Simply insert your dog's favorite treat, and it turns into a toothbrush. The natural rubber bristles provide triple cleaning for teeth, gums, and tongue with every chew. And don’t worry…they didn’t leave out their feline friends…they have a cat Treatbrush, too!
