The display case at the front counter of Three Dog Bakery is filled with a variety of creatively designed and named cookies and cakes, though none of them are meant for people to eat.
A little over a year since opening in Houston, the Rice Village store has provided fresh, made-from-scratch treat options for dog owners to give to their pets, with all of the treats available being made with all-natural, dog-friendly ingredients.
“Part of what makes this place special is the experience. It’s not just about coming in and buying your dog a treat off the shelf,” co-owner Carin Giga said. “You can smell them baking in the oven; you can see us working with mixers and pouring. Everything is made here right from scratch.”
Three Dog Bakery offers 40-50 different varieties of treats on any given day, and free samples are given to all of the dogs that come into the store to see what they like best, with seasonal varieties being made at different times of the year. Co-owner Sara Saber said she likes it when dogs can decide for themselves what they want.
