Hank’s 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

by // 1 Comment

Every Year Hank gets a stocking FILLED with treats and toys, some of which he’ll sniff and ignore, others of which he’ll devour instantly. If your dog hasn’t told you want he or she wants this Christmas, Here’s some of Hank’s favorite things:

  1. Bully Sticks – these are not the most modest treat you will purchase this year, but it’s the only treat that lasts Hank more than 5 minutes and it’s way better than trying to brush his teeth. The only ones I’ve found that really work and don’t stink up the house are from A.B. Dog Chew and I find them at All the Best Petcare and Earth Pet here in Issaquah.
  2. Tennis Balls & a good Chuck-it– Hank LOVES to swim and chase after tennis balls. While he’s a good lab, sometimes his nose doesn’t always find the ball, or another dog steals it. Or it’s disgusting and we leave it “donated” to the park. So, once a year I pick up a case of tennis balls at Costco and we’re set!
  3. Nyima Bakery Treats! We LOVE Nymia treats! All Natural and Organic Dog treats from a local (Issaquah!) woman owned business! Enter HANK at check out for 10% off your entire order!
  4. Ruff Bowl– I’m not totally sure where I discovered this find this year but Hank is getting one in his stocking. They have a great Cyber Monday Deal today too. A dog bowl that attaches to your retractable leash and can hold a used bag? I’ll take it!
  5. Dog-Gone-Good Biscuits– I discovered another neighborhood dog treat company at the vet last week picking up Hank. Hank is LOVING their Heart Healthy Turkey treats in our cookie jar right now! You’re supporting a young (8 years old!) entrepreneur and your dog gets more great treats!

Dog Treats and Business Treats

Last week I had the chance to meet with Kim Scott, the owner of The Nyima Bakery here in Issaquah. I read about her in a recent Issaquah Press article and had to meet her! So, I did what any sales person does, I shot her a note and asked to meet. And great news, she said yes! So Hank & I went to meet with Kim, and she’s awesome. And The Nyima Bakery is AWESOME. Natural and organic dog treats made right here in Issaquah. Hank is in LOVE! The treats are delicious, and I don’t worry about giving him high-processed treats since they’re all natural and organic ingredients! The Nyima Bakery is also committed to giving back, and 10% of their profits each month go to a pet-friendly nonprofit organization.

When I started Yellow Dog Consulting one of the pages on my website I knew I wanted was a Resources page. I know a lot of people, and while there’s a lot of things I CAN do to help businesses, there are a lot of things that are best left to others. So I created my resources page. Everyone on the page is someone I have actually done business with, and I think might be helpful for you and your business.

Since I’m all about Hank it’s probably a good idea to offer some “resources” for Hank as well. So I asked Kim, and The Nyima Bakery is not only a resource on our website, she’s offering 10% off your entire order using the code HANK at checkout. As always, you can thank him with treats (he’s loving the wheat free salmon bites!) And Hank (and I) will thank Kim by sharing the love with others!
