Heard on the Street: Event to Celebrate Canine Companions

BACB UnleashedWhen the contests include worst doggy breath and owner/pet lookalikes, you know it isn’t the Westminster Dog Show.

However, you can bet your last collar that Saturday’s CeleBARK Your Dog Day in the “backyard” of Rochester’s Eagles Club will be a lot more fun for both pets and their families.

Pam Miller, owner of the mobile Bone Appetit Canine Bakery Unleashed, is sponsoring the family-friendly event to honor beloved dogs of all kinds, even those that might have a bit of halitosis. People are encouraged to bring well-behaved dogs that are up-to-date on their vaccinations.

Look for local celebrity judges Marcia Fritzmeier and Dr. Vicki Hunt to brave the bad breath, measure the longest ears and select the most similar dog/owner pair.

Fritzmeier is the handler of Mayo Clinic’s popular therapy dog, Dr. Jack. Likewise, Hunt works with the therapy dog, Hershey. Hershey is known “Mr. June” from his appearance in the Rescued Dogs Calendar put out by Paws and Claws.

To help mark the first anniversary of the mobile version of her gourmet dog treat business, Miller wanted to host a fun and different kind of bash.

“I’d like it to become kind of a signature event,” she says.

For the humans, both young and old, there will be games, contests, demonstrations and food. There even will be a treasure hunt similar to the Rochesterfest Medallion Hunt.

While fun is a big part of the fest by Bear Creek, it also will be about helping dogs find homes with good families.

“Part of my passion is to try and help rescue groups with their mission,” says Miller.

Six rescue groups from Southeastern Minnesota will show off dogs available for adoption, as well as raise money to support their organizations.

While Miller has been locally-known for her homemade, preservative-free dog treats, she began driving her canine bakery and dog accessories shop on wheels to Rochester dog parks last summer.

“We go where the dogs and their owners are,” she said.

Miller prides herself on offering the most current and unique products for dogs and the people who love them.

She says CeleBARK is just another way to help her business stand out from the pack.

Woof.

Testimonials

Pinto was more than thrilled to get his treats! I had a hard time getting him to stay out of the box so that I could unpack it! And as I put the treats into his containers, he thought he needed a treat out of each bag!! To say the least, he loves your treats. I am just glad that you have your website.

I know I can trust the quality of the treats and have the knowledge that Katrina loves them (especially the Classic Squares). Thanks and keep baking the treats.

I think you have a wonderful product to offer and I would love to be able to work something out for our Nationals with you. She loves your cookies! She's our taste tester and if she likes it we know it's gotta be great!
Kym, South St. Paul, MN

Here is another order for you. I gave all the cookies away to my canine friends and had nothing left for my kids. Lucky for me, they love me unconditionally.
