made by a picky human and her equally picky dog.

hi! we’re Krishia and Winry from Toronto, Canada.

yes, we are pretty discerning when it comes to food. in buying some dog treats, we discovered that Winry hated a lot of our picks, due to so many reasons!

we went back to basics and made some homemade recipes that prioritized both flavor and functionality, and we want to share these creations with you!

frequently asked questions

why bars?

the treat bar form allows you to easily track portions. plus, you won't need to dig around in your treat bag while your dog wonders when they'll get paid for that neat trick they just did.

another dog treat? what makes this different?

nifty bars are not just a gimmick. we built these bars with these goals: 

  • be irresistible to picky eaters AND not just empty calories  
  • highlight quality ingredients with single source protein, organ meats and fibre for sustainable energy
  • keep the ingredient list short and sweet- no chemical fillers, extracts or preservatives 
  • deliver the treat in a bar format that breaks clean, is super portable, and avoids waste
  • source Canadian meat from high quality farms, because quality starts at the source

high quality Canadian farms / farmers? 

yes! we don’t just use the cheap cuts or play around with mystery meat.

we source our meats from Canadian farmers who make sure their animals get the best food, and not rely on conventional grain feed. this means no antibiotics, hormones or steroids used for our meats!

we source from smaller farms who care about natural feeding, pasture raising and push for regenerative farming over farms that prioritize profit, rapid growth and commercialization.

even if this puts a higher price tag on our bars, it’s well worth it for your dog’s health and supporting local systems!

see each bar for sourcing details

is this a dehydrated treat? 

we minimally process the ingredients to lock in all the essential nutrients for your dog without compromising on taste.

we air dry gently, so unlike conventional baked and dehydrated treats, it’s not crumbly or dried out like the Sahara desert. we go low and slow, in small batches to ensure quality.

the bars are at their best when used immediately, please check the best before date on each package.
