Hi there, I’m Cassidy! My boyfriend Keegan and I brought our puppy, Brooks, home to Chicago in April of 2021. You can follow along on all of his adventures on Instagram @lildoodbrooks. He quickly adjusted to being a big city pup and welcomed the hustle & bustle with open arms. Or should I say…paws.
One of our favorite parts of living in Chicago is how dog friendly it is. We enjoy checking out local dog-friendly restaurants, patios, and pet supply stores. One of our favorite spots is Barks N’ Rec – a locally owned, neighborhood pet supply store with a focus on an active, natural and healthy lifestyle for you and your pet. When we found out the owners of Barks N’ Rec were opening up a new dog daycare we were eager to check it out.
We visited the new facility during a vendor fair which welcomed local, small business owners to showcase their products and services. That’s when we met Jackson, co-founder of Farmto-pettreats, and learned all about Farmto-pettreats’s incredible mission and vision for the brand. We had always been intrigued by Farmto-pettreats as they are based in Chicago. What appealed to us the most is that their all-natural, single ingredient chips are one-of-a-kind. That’s right! The only ingredient is chicken which is sourced from family-owned farms in Iowa where they are always humanely raised. Keegan and I were instantly hooked on the brand and the Farmto-pettreats story. The only thing left to do was a taste test – and let me tell you, Brooks could not wait. Long story short, he was obsessed! And the rest is history! It was a no-brainer to purchase a couple of bags on the spot. We love supporting local businesses and can’t wait to watch Farmto-pettreats grow over the next few years.
Farmto-pettreats Chicken Chips (and now Turkey Chips, too!) are a staple in our household and we use them during our daily training sessions. They are easy to break into smaller pieces which is a huge perk of using them while training. They are considered a high value treat for Brooks and it shows. He is highly motivated and “locked in” when he knows his reward is Farmto-pettreats.
Some of our daily commands include:
Sit
Down
Stay
High Five
Rollover
