Featuring local and natural products and more than just biscuits & bones! North Vancouver resident, Shawna Conrad owns the only North Shore location of The Bone and Biscuit Company, a store that offers healthy, allnatural, foods at competitive prices.
"We only carry wholesome, natural foods, says Shawna who has a dog of her own. "There are no carcinogens, pesticides, chemical preservatives or genetically modified ingredients in the food we offer which allows you to shop in confidence." Barbecue boots, cookies featuring natural barbecue sauce, are among the treats offered in the bakery along with pup pizzas made with sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. "Some pets do have a sweet tooth, says Shawna, and classic bones with carob and yogurt are among the store's bestsellers." Treats are baked at The Bone and Biscuit Company's Kelowna location, which include birthday cakes made with oat bran, free-range eggs, applesauce, honey and tumeric. She notes that the pet treats are made from all-natural ingredients and have a six-month shelf life because a lot of them are cooked at such a low temperature for such a long time they naturally dehydrate so there is no moisture in them to mould. Some of the products are wheat-free and a lot of them are grain-free. A lot of animals have a sensitivity to certain grains because they have shorter intestinal tracts and it's harder for them to digest. This can be true for the pet food too and Shawna is able to recommend the right food for her customers pets needs.
She mentions that at home she is conscious about what she feeds her kids, and feels the same way about pets. "Some people's children are their dogs," she says, adding seeking out natural products is an easy way to feed your pet and "not have to worry what you're putting into them."
The store offers pet grooming too. Bone & Biscuit has a frequent shopper savings program. Follow the North Vancouver store on Facebook for specials and events.
