He gets one when ever he comes in, whenever he stares at the treat jar, and pretty much whenever he wants, so I thought it was fitting for him to do a review of his favorite treats, Barkwheats.
For his review, Bailey is trying the Ginger and Parsley flavor treats.
I let him inspect the packaging (I buy by the 1 lb bag), he almost tore a hole in it.
 |
| Oh good, I get the WHOLE bag all to myself! |
I could tell he liked how they smelled. So I decided to let him try one.
 |
| Give me that Barkwheat! |
 |
| Crunch, crunch, yummy, crunch, crunch |
 |
| I love product testing!! This is GREAT |
I for one am a huge fan of Barkwheats because they are a Maine company who supports the local economy by using primarily local ingredients in their products. I also like how they operate - with a triple bottom line - meaning all stakeholders are considered in their business. You can read more about Barkwheats Mission HERE, but here is some information from their website:
Barkwheats are all-natural, grain-free, wheat-free dog biscuits baked with organic, local & fair trade ingredients, and come in 100% biodegradable packaging. We chose ingredients that are easily produced in our home state of Maine and have great nutritional value, such as parsley, sea vegetables, pumpkin, blueberries, sage, chamomile, lavender & honey.
Our Ginger & Parsley flavor biscuit is the first ever pet product to carry the Fair Trade Certified™ label, empowering farmers and farm workers to lift themselves out of poverty by investing in their farms and communities.So, do you want your dog to have a chance to try some Barkwheats?
Bailey is having his first giveaway. There will be two winners - each of the two winners will receive two 10oz boxes of Barkwheats in the flavors that they (their dog) choose. So 2 winners, each get 2 boxes of treats for their best buddy. Winners will be drawn using Random.org.

How cool is Bailey? And by extension you.
I am entering this contest for Ginga and I am a follower.
I like Barkwheats on FB.
I am following Barkwheats on Twitter.
And I found this to be interesting:
Barkwheats is proud to be the first B-Corporation ("B" stands for Benefit) in the pet industry, joining the ranks of King Arthur Flour, Method, Seventh Generation, just to name a few. B-Corporation is a new type of corporation whose mission is to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
What a great concept.
I am a follower and so is my dog Jack. He would really like some of those Barkwheats!
I liked Barkwheats on FB.
I found it very interesting on their website that they are sold out of everything!! They must be good!

Ernie would like to know if he could have his BarkWheats covered in Gravy?
BTW - this is my favorite review EVER!
I'm now a follower! First, I've decided that I'm a dogs n' blogs person. I love when people take pics and there's always some dog there. Crazy right! Anyway, i was blogging about this and Chris K told me to find you so here I am! I have two dogs that I'm pretty sure would love some Barkwheats!
He gets a treat "pretty much whenever he wants". You are a softie Mandy. But, how can you say no to that face!
.I love Bailey.
so stinking cute!
Now I do not have a dog but I am entering on behalf of Bridget, Belle and my daughter, Lola.
IF I am chosen to win this awesome MAINE giveaway, I will give the Barkwheats to Lola so she can bring them to my in-laws (and also neighbors) for their doggies: Bridget and Belle who are boxers
Lola loves to feed the puppies "cookies" whenever she goes to their house.
If for any reason the cookies cannot be consumed by Bridget and Belle then I will send my cookies off to Texas for Jason and Ginga to enjoy! :)
can I win Bailey instead? he's just too cute!
I love that they are made in Maine and they use local Maine farms!! yay for local :)
-buckwheat is not a wheat, not a grain - it is a berry
The blueberry and lavendar sound quite nice!
Have you tried one Mandy??
What a pity, I don't have a dog!
Bailey is a star!

I can't believe that "Barkwheats is out of stock of everything at the moment! Thanks for the continued support and we'll have our store back up online soon while we bake away!" Your review is really working.
Chaga wants some barkwheat treats!
