One Dog Organic Bakery Giveaway and Review

Say hello to Veronica and her best buddy, Milo.  Veronica is the owner of One Dog Organic Bakery.  After losing their family cat to kidney failure caused by melamine found in a pet recall, Veronica began making their pets food.  Encouraged by family and friends, One Dog Organic Bakery was born.

A small, family run bakery, each order is baked fresh and prepared in small batches to ensure the highest quality and freshness. Every recipe is human tested and Milo approved.

When One Dog Organic Bakery says organic, they mean it.  All ingredients are US sourced.  You'll find no chemical preservatives, no fillers, no by-products, no hormones, no salt, and no artificial colors or flavorings.  In addition, all of their packaging is recyclable.

My taste testing team and I didn't have to think long when One Dog Organic Bakery asked it we'd like to sample their dog treats.  After all, I'm always happy to support a woman-owned, handmade, boutique business and Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie never hesitate to try tasty organic dog treats.  Two lucky giveaway winners will also get to try some, too!

One Dog Organic Bakery sent us three varieties of their dog treats to try.  All are gluten-free, handcrafted and made with 100% human grade ingredients.

Ginger Snaps with Coconut Oil - $6.99 for a 4 oz bag
Coconut oil has quite a list of benefits including improved coat and skin health; improved digestion and nutrient absorption; reduced bad doggie breath; power antibacterial, antiviral and anti fungal agents to prevent disease and infection. 

Peanut Butter and Honey with Bee Power - $7.50 for a 4 oz bag
Bee pollen is commonly referred to as “nature’s miracle food”. Consisting of 35% protein, which is almost entirely usable by the body without any added breakdown or metabolism needed. It combines 22 amino acids, B-complex and folic acid, vitamin C, polyunsaturated fatty acids, enzymes and carotene, which are all of the major antioxidants so far discovered.
Bee pollen also contains of a number of vital trace elements that the body cannot manufacture on its own. These include iron, zinc, manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Pumpkin Spice with Flaxseed - $6.99 for a 4 oz bag
Flaxseed reduces inflammation; is thought to prevent the growth of cancerous cells due to its omega-3 fatty acids disrupting malignant cells from clinging onto other body cells; promotes healthy skin and coat; prevents heart disease.
Retail $6.99 for a 4 oz bag

As a special treat we also received 3 adorable Sweet Treats and Clean Teeth Conversation Hearts.   These are in honor of National Pet Dental Health month and are on sale now!

There is zero doubt that all of the dog treats from One Dog Organic Bakery were a hit with my taste testers.   To say they love them would be an understatement.  Here's why I agree:

• Healthy organic GMO free ingredients 
• Each order baked fresh
• Fast shipping
• "Green" packaging
• Green America Certified Business
• My dogs love them

 You can try them, too!

Be sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to win one of two prize packages. The first prize winner will receive a $25 gift certificate and a 4 oz bag of dog treats.  Second prize winner will receive a $10 gift certificate and an 8 oz bag of dog treats.  (Sorry, giveaway winner must have a US shipping address.) You don't have to wait for the giveaway to end to try some of these treats. One Dog Organic Baker is offering a 15% discount to Talking Dogs blog reader with the code DOGLOVE15

Dog Bone Bracelet Giveaway from For Love of a Dog Jewelry

I'm so glad November is over.  Short month with Rosie's birthday, the Holiday Gift Guide for Dogs and Dog Lovers, and  the Thanksgiving holiday meant that I totally forgot to do a November giveaway of my For Love of a Dog Jewelry!

It's definitely time for a giveaway!

Enter to win a little something for yourself or to give as a gift to a special friend who loves dogs.  This giveaway ends in time for the winner to enjoy wearing their prize to holiday parties!

This dog bone bracelet is one of a kind. The focal is a handmade porcelain ceramic white dog bone with three dimensional details. Then I combined coordinating big fat red brilliantly faceted irridescent Austrian crystals and handmade artisan lampwork beads. 

Each lampwork bead is unique and include sweet three dimensional raised flower blossoms, plus beautiful scrolling designs.  Clear crystals add more sparkles. Bright, lively colors with a floral touch make for pretty bling!

 This dog bone bracelet is hand wire wrapped with silver jeweler's wire. Be sure to check out the adorable silver dog collar and dog bone toggle clasp.

 Enter to win this bracelet!

 Giveaway Rules:

1. There will be one winner (chosen at random by Rafflecopter) and they will receive this dog bone bracelet which will be custom sized for them. 

2. This giveaway is open worldwide.  However, non-US residents will probably not receive the bracelet before the first of the new year due to international shipping.

4. The winner will be announced on December 12 here on Talking Dogs blog, plus the winner will receive an email from me that morning.   If I do not receive a response to that email within 48 hours, an alternate winner will be chosen.

New Dog Lover Necklaces at For Love of a Dog Jewelry

I haven't had a whole lot of time to spend in my studio lately, but I've tried to make the most of it.  I think I succeeded with some new dog bone necklaces.  They contain three of my favorite colors:  pink, turquoise and black.

I'm a pink girl, so I had a lot of fun creating the lampwork dog bone necklace shown at the top.  Love that fat foiled glass heart pendant!  I surrounded it with some sweet double sided white dog bones with pink paw prints.  Then added some rose pink based swirling bubble and white based pink polka dot lampwork beads.  A one of a kind creation for a dog lover who loves pink and gold.

Similar in design, the turquoise WOOF dog bone necklace shown above, is all about turquoise blues and is one of a kind.  Gorgeous, very fat, foiled turquoise glass heart pendant matches the other lampwork and crystal beads.  These artisan lampwork beads include a swirling tan based raise turquoise flower beads, a deep turquoise blue based bead with lighter "bubbles," ad another with a elongated polka dots and raised bumps.  Of course, they all accent a hand crafted porcelain WOOF dog bone.  Pretty spectacular, if I do say so myself.

A more natural, earthy take on this design, the WOOF dog bone necklace above begins with a chubby black onyx gemstone heart.  The necklace includes black obsidian gemstone beads with some beautiful artisan lampwork beads in swirls of black, caramel, and soft sage green.  Once again, the real focal point is the handmade porcelain WOOF dog bone.

Though I have some other color combinations of beads laid out to play with, I got distracted by some custom orders this week.  Hopefully, I'll be able to have some more fun studio time soon.

These necklaces join other unique dog bone themed jewelry at For Love of a Dog.  Perfect pieces ready for gift giving since they come in festive packaging.  Plus, For Love of a Dog offers free standard shipping to US addresses. 

Remember, almost all of my items are unique and one of a kind.  When they're gone... they're gone!
