(La Porte County, IN) - There’s a local bakery for dogs.

 

Sabrina Vargas is the baker, who uses various kinds of flour along with ingredients like chicken parmesan, cheddar cheese and peanut butter in her treats.

 

Vargas said she recently developed the baked goods for her dog, whose allergies didn’t improve until eating the all-natural home baked goodies.

 

“I started making fresh treats.  No preservatives. No dyes.  No food coloring and he started doing better,” she said.

 

She later decided to go into business with her treats that come in various sizes.  Some are shaped like a bone. 

 

After baking, Vargas said one of her products after coming out of the oven is dehydrated so they’re crunchy and have a longer shelf life.  She allows her other mini-muffin products to remain soft for dogs that prefer the easier chewing.

 

“Usually, the older dogs like those because they have the teeth problems,” she said.

 

Her business “Happy Hound Barkery” offers products online along with delivery.

 

She’s also recently became a regular vendor at the farmers market in Michigan City every Saturday and recently offered her goods during the Sunflower Fair in La Porte.

 

“We’ve had a really good response,” Vargas said.
