Bon A-Pet-Treat Pet Bakery

I (and my Chocolate Lab) are big fans of Bön A-​Pet-​Treat. We have been to the Bowness shop and to the stand at the Farmers Market many times. The staff is always very nice, and their home baked dog treats are a big hit with Harley! There are many different flavors of dog treats, and shapes often to do with a theme.
The Bowness shop is also the place to get your dog food, and bagged treats, leashes, collars, etc.
This past Sunday, they had a «pancake breakfast» for dogs during Stampede. Hey, if people are encouraged to eat a years supply of pancakes during stampede, why shouldn’t our dogs get in on the action? We arrived and there was a booth for the pancakes and a few other treats, Harley chose the pumpkin pancake. There was information for AARCS (Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society) for adopting animals who need a good home, and even an artist doing caricature drawings of our k-​9 friends. Fun event to check out.

My cat loves raw Llama, thank you for making this available :)
Litter is quite pricey but the customer services and everything else is A+
I always love supporting small local businesses!

We were thinking this was the store where someone bought our dog some adorable hamburger-​shaped dog treats for her birthday, but it didn’t seem like they had the same stuff or were the same store. But that’s besides the point. The cookies they offer are handmade in the store by the staff, and they said they use natural vegetable dyes instead of traditional food colouring, so the colour options are limited. There are lots of other types of treats in bins and bags around the store: like a nasty looking cow throat to waffle-​printed bison livers to salmon tidbits and the list goes on and on. They also have grooming supplies, leashes and jackets. And two store cats who are very friendly and comfortable with strangers. The service was chatty and amiable, and the woman who served us seemed very knowledgeable about the ingredients. Great little store.

Yay! A store just for the furry ones. I’m not sure why I originally started going here, but whatever it was, I keep coming back.
We feed out pets Acana brand, and they have a huge selection of it, plus they offer a free bag when you bring in a certain number of bar codes from previous bags. And they give you a discount for signing up.
Great selection, super friendly staff, and lots of freshly baked pet treats too. And most of all close to my house which is nice. I appreciate that I can support local for my pets as well, and not big box stores.

Honeysuckle mice. They are Miss Newty Cat’s most favouritest thing in the whole world. Her last one was demolished in about 6 months leaving behind only a scant remnant of fun fur to prove it ever existed in the first place. I was so happy to find a new one for her at the Farmer’s Market location of Bön A-​Pet-​Treat this weekend. Newt has hardly napped at all since I brought it home, it’s already crusty with cat saliva and has traveled from one end of the house to the other.
My cats are not into fancy treats. I thought they might like the cheese treats, but all I got was the «this isn’t food» look from Ripley when I tried to give her some (Newt was busy with her mouse and couldn’t be bothered with boring treats). This of course is no surprise to me as both cats are Temptations junkies and my attempts to turn them onto healthier treats continue to fail miserably.
So Ripley is unimpressed (as always), Newt is over the moon and I am happy to have found supplier of honeysuckle mice!

This store alone restores my faith that customer service isn’t dead. I ordered dog tags for my dogs back in September and for some reason they never arrived. I called the store in October and they said they’d been sent to the wrong address. I waited until January and still nothing. I called in February and they said that one of the tags had been sent there and not my address and the other one was still MIA. I explained to the girl that there was no way I would be able to drive all the way to the store front to get them as I pretty much work the same hours they’re open. I called again about a week ago and the girl told me that they had mailed both tags to me the day before and apologized profusely about the wait. When the tags arrived they were placed in a lovely card with a $ 20 gift card as an apology for the confusion. Here’s were it gets good… yesterday I opened my mail box and there was another card there. This time it had a $ 30 gift card for the Farmers Market location with a note explaining that they forgot I couldn’t make it to their store so they were sending me a certificate for the location I could make it to and that I was welcome to use both if I could.
Thank you! I don’t know of any other business that would have gone to these lengths or taken my schedule into consideration.
Life long customer,
Annie

A friend of mine said I should check out Bön A-​Pet-​Treat for a change. I live right near by and had never stopped to go in.
The store is small and crowded. The girl at the counter greeted me and asked if I needed help finding anything. I just told her I was just browsing. They carry a nice stock of bones and dried treats, including my favorite deer antlers! There is a small assortment of toys, priced as any other pet store. There is a nice selection of martingale collars, each about $ 30. I wanted to check out the baked treats, but there wasn’t much of a selection, half the counter was empty. The peanut butter treats were so small and at 75 cents each seemed a bit silly. I did grab a couple buffalo ostrich jerkys, for $ 1 each, they were only a couple inches long. They also carry raw food and only a couple brands of dry food.
I wasn’t all to impressed with Bön A-​Pet-​Treat, I have been to better pet bakeries in the city. I would pop in again to get other treats, but for anything else I would go elsewhere.
