Did you know…

The ____ is the only breed of dog that doesn’t bark.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Ever wonder why your dog sniffs one meal like it’s gourmet and barely touches another? It’s not just mood—it’s their actual taste buds (just like humans!).

Turns out dogs do have flavor preferences, and some are pickier than you'd expect. They can taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter—plus, they’ve got a special set of taste buds just for water. Most tend to favor beef or pork over chicken, and many will choose warm, moist food over dry kibble every time.

And yes, past meals matter. Dogs often like what they grew up eating—sometimes even what their mom ate before they were born.

Want to know your dog’s true favorite? Try offering two different foods side by side and see which one gets gobbled up first. You might be surprised by what they pick.

You know the look—your dog hears the treat bag crinkle and suddenly they’re sitting straighter, tail thumping, eyes locked in. That’s the Three Dog Bakery effect.

These aren’t just treats —they’re people-inspired treats made just for dogs. We’re talking pretzels, peanut butter sandwich cookies, even birthday confetti cookies. Each one is baked with real ingredients. Because if your dog’s basically your kid (same), they deserve more than basic biscuits.

Three Dog Bakery crafts treats baked with love in the U.S.A. just for your pup.

Most dogs don’t ask for much—just your love, a full bowl, and maybe a good stick. But if you’re looking for ways to go above and beyond, there are plenty of fun and safe ways to show your pup a little extra love.

Start with a frozen treat on a warm day. Peanut butter or broth tossed in the freezer becomes a cool, lickable treat that keeps your dog happy and busy. Short-nosed breeds especially benefit from this chilly reward when the temps climb.

Or let your dog do the choosing. A trip to the pet store isn’t just a shopping errand—it’s a full-on adventure. Let your pup sniff the toy aisle and pick out their new favorite squeaker or chew.

Not all spoiling has to involve stuff. A backyard sprinkler run or dog park trip can be just as meaningful. 

And of course, there’s always room for one more treat. Bonus points if it’s new, smells amazing, or comes with a side of praise. Because in their eyes, your love is already the biggest gift of all.

From stadium seats to dinnertime drama, here’s what’s wagging:
