trail dog treats…

Welcome Nancy! We recently met Nancy and her faithful companion Tatum at the Edgewater Farmer’s Market (which we are soooo happy to have just blocks away, already blossoming in it’s first year) and of course little Miss Penelope, while interested in meeting Tatum, was decidedly distracted by a dog biscuit coming her way. We are very careful with what we feed Penelope and treats are not on her regular schedule, but we couldn’t pass up 100% natural and local made biscuits. Nancy is super friendly, very dedicated to her passion, has a very busy schedule setting up all over (so she’s super easy to meet up with) and has a website and online store for easy ordering. Before sharing her with you we put her goods to the test.. a bag for Miss P. and a bag for Miss Hazel (Penelope’s bff next door) and both give 4 paws to each variety of treat. And… as a last bonus, Nancy has kept her goods super affordable. (local, all natural and affordable… yes, please!) I invited Nancy to share her story of how she came to be Tatum’s momma, how the business got started and where she’s at now…. thanks for taking time out for us Nancy! Wanna order some or learn more?

In her former life, my Chocolate Lab, Tatum was an overweight and under exercised foster dog. I welcomed her to her new home on Easter Sunday 2006, where she soon discovered she hit the Labrador jackpot! Tatum quickly transformed from a lazy homebody to an active and adventurous 3 year old. I couldn’t wait to hit the trails with my new companion. She took to the hills with excitement and gusto, just as I expected.

Throughout the years, we’ve ventured up mountains, camped in remote valleys, and strolled through the Colorado forests. With each adventure Tatum and I bonded not only through the exercise and training, but also during snack time. It started with granola bar crumbs falling on the ground for the taking. Soon enough, I was sharing my apples, trail mix and peanut butter sandwiches. We both looked forward to these snack breaks, and before long I was packing Tatum’s very own treat bags to carry on our hikes.

From trail treats to experimental baked goods, Tatum and I work tirelessly in the kitchen mixing and tasting to come up with a nutritious snack that all dogs would enjoy. Together we’ve created a line of homemade dog biscuits called Trail Dog Treats. Trail Dog Treats are baked in Denver with only the finest local, organic ingredients. We offer a variety of all natural, wheat-free treats with no added preservatives. Just like people snacks, Trail Dog Treats are made with human grade ingredients, with flavors like Carrot Applesauce & Peanut Butter Oatmeal. Promoting a healthy lifestyle for your dog with nutritious and delicious treats!

The business is growing at a steady pace, and with lots of patience and persistence we’re honored to be on the shelves of four retail shops, offer bulk treats at three local farmers markets and available soon on Highland Tap & Burger (dog friendly pub) menu. We pride ourselves in giving back to the community by supporting a number of non-profit organizations and animal rescues. We sponsor approximately 12 events per year, contributing donations in the form of dog treat samples and gift baskets.

Tatum and I are thrilled to be celebrating our 2nd year in business as of Feb 1, 2012! We’re thankful for the community support & customer loyalty, and look forward to building these relationships as we move forward.
