Like human food, not all dog treats are created equal.

There are plenty of bakeries dedicated to serving delicious pastries to humans but many of these businesses aren’t designed to cater dogs. As dog lovers, finding good meal options for your dog can be a little more than difficult. Luckily, Vancouver has several doggy eateries that understand the desire to treat your pup. Here are Vancouver’s top four bark-eries that canine owners will truly appreciate.

1. The Granville Island Pet Treatery

The Granville Island Pet Treatery, located in a red caboose with a paw print on the side, handcrafts a wide range of (presumably delicious) organic dog treats. With flavours like pork, sardine and tuna, there’s something for every pooch, and each sale supports the BC SPCA: one percent of proceeds goes towards helping animals in need. 1496 Cartwright St.

3. Three Dog Bakery

Since arriving on the scene in 1989, Three Dog Bakery has been making tails wag with their selection of healthy, natural and drool-worthy treats like peanut butter and jelly wafers, banana nut muffin wafers, and turkey with cranberries. Best of all, ingredients include carob chips—an alternative to chocolate which means your pup’s sure to show some doggeddevotion after satisfying his sweet tooth. 4348 Main St.

Boasting a premium selection of raw edibles, chews, treats and supplements from local brands like Club Canine and IrRAWsistible, the Dog Shoppe’s treats are the perfect way to pamper your pooch. 1905 W 1st Ave.
