We are a locally owned retail bakery for dogs, specializing in all-natural cakes, cookies, and pastries for dogs. We feature a working kitchen on-site and bake treats every day of the week. Our bakery also carries boutique and specialty brands of packaged treats, dog and cat food, chews, toys, accessories, spa products, and gifts.

What really sets us apart are our baked items. Crafted from scratch in small batches, our highly skilled pastry chefs use only simple, real ingredients, slow baking each recipe to lock in all those luscious flavors and canine-loving nutrients. So healthy and so drool-worthy, we consider our treats and cuisine to be the absolute best in the animal kingdom.

Three Dog Bakery has been making tails wag since 1989, and today our mission remains the same –– feed the souls of dogs and the people that love them!
