Healthy and Natural Treats, Fresh Baked!

Like you, we are proud dog owners who are concerned with the health and happiness of our pets. That's why we make The Country Canine treats with the same 100% natural and nutritious ingredients as the foods we eat. And because we know dogs (like humans)  prefer foods that smell and taste terrific, our treats (unlike typical dog treats) have the rich aroma and delicious flavor of the wonderful ingredients we bake into them.

From Our Dogs To Yours...

Linda Resch is a dog trainer who believes in natural nutrition. Mary McGowan and her German Shepherd Willy are her clients. One day Linda baked a batch of "dog cookies" for Willy. He loved the mouthwatering aroma and yummy flavor. Mary was so impressed with the all natural, healthy ingredients, she encouraged Linda to share the treats with other dog owners and together they created...

The Country Canine.

Mary and Linda are pleased to bring these special treats to your home and hope your dog enjoys them as much as ours!
