Gourmet Organic Dog Treats #Giveaway from Paw Street Barkery | #TastyTuesday

Any day will be a party with pet treats from Paw Street Barkery!  Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie were delighted to be asked to taste tests some very tasty dog treats from this organic pet bakery.  


You can try some, too, if you're the lucky winner of a Paw Street Barkery $25 gift certificate!

Founded in 2009 with the name The Barkers Dozen, Paw Street Barkery is on a mission to provide homemade organic pet treats. We'd say this Chicopee, Massachusetts company is doing just that.


Paw Street Barkery brand organic dog treats use the highest-quality, human-grade organic ingredients and are made in a variety of shapes and sizes to satisfy any furry friend. Their gourmet dog treats are made on demand and in small batches to ensure the freshest product possible for their customers, without using artificial preservatives. The fresh-baked treats are then packaged in eco-friendly renewable or recycled materials.

As part of its culture of social responsibility and to give back to its local community, Paw Street Barkery employs staff from the Aditus group, a non-profit that helps those with special needs to be able to enter the work force. In addition, the company donates a portion of its profits from every sale to two animal shelters in its local market.

We received three different dog treat products to taste test and review:
  • Blueberry Bone-anza Gluten Free Organic Dog Treats
  • Carob Peanut Butter Cup Dog Treats
  • Big Dipper Dog Treats
Blueberry Bone-anaza, Carob Peanut Butter Cup, Big Dipper gourmet organic dog treats from Paw Street Barkery

Blueberry Bone-anza Gluten Free Organic Dog Treats  - retail price $7.99 for a 4 oz bag
Made from organic and all-natural ingredients, these Blueberry Bone-anza Gluten Free Dog Treats are made of such base organic ingredients that they can be eaten by those dogs with even the most sensitive of stomachs and gluten allergies. These treats are the latest in Paw Street Barkery line of gourmet dog treats, and came out as the preferred flavor by a panel of doggie taste testers.
The new Blueberry Bone-anza treats are made with organic, human-grade ingredients, just like the rest of Paw Street Barkery portfolio of baked goods for dogs. 

What separates this flavor of treats from the rest of the company’s varieties is that it is gluten-free, meaning it does not contain wheat flour or products. This ensures that dogs with allergies or sensitive systems can enjoy wholesome, gourmet dog treats, and their owners can provide them with confidence. The new flavor of dog treats contains no artificial flavors or preservatives, and the treats are baked on-demand to ensure freshness and quality

What we loved about these dog treats:
  • Organic, human grade ingredients
  • Gourmet "fancy" dog treats
  • Taste - the dogs loved them!
Though I admit I would not give my dogs fancy treats like the Carob Peanut Butter Cup and Big Dipper dog treats every day, they'd make very festive special occasion treats.  The Blueberry Bone-anza dog treats are in an adorable fire hydrant shape and are small enough to be a very tasty training treat.  Jeffie really loved these.

Paw Street Barkery also has some barking good gift pack and sampler assortments including:  doggie cakes, adoption gift boxes, and you can even create your own custom gift baskets.   What a great idea for a special dog birthday, Gotcha Day or other special event.

What's not to like?!

As always, shipping from Mr. Chewy was super fast.  Jeffie especially appreciates the fact that orders from Mr. Chewy are delivered by FedEx, which gives him a chance to bark!  Both he and Rudy are always thrilled when the package delivered is for them.  I love Mr. Chewy deliveries because shipping is fast and free on all orders $49+.

Our Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain Free Salmon with Sweet Potato Dog Treats came nicely packed, in attractive packaging with clearly marked ingredients and information about the company.

The treats themselves had a clean, country smell to the humans and we think they look like little round biscuits.

Our taste testers really did not care how the product looked.  It was pretty obvious the treats smelled good to them and our testers were eager to get to work!

Their verdict?  Paws up!  Jeffie and Rudy loved these Fromm dog treats.


We highly recommend these Fromm dog treats at Mr. Chewy.  We know you'll find the Mr. Chewy web site easy to navigate.  Ordering online is easy and it is so convenient to have our pet food and treats delivered to the door!  Mr. Chewy carries a nice selection and offers live chat customer service.  Talking Dogs especially likes the Mr. Chewy Refer Your Friends Donation Program.
