Bark-Worthy Products & Services
Support Local is a big part of our messaging and something we genuinely believe in.
Helping keep our economy strong is thinking BIG, and every time we make a purchase from a Canadian artisan, we are shopping small.
And just like that, we support local – woof!
Check out this paw-some list of local vendors and businesses that are near and dear to Bob’s heart. Whether you’re sniffing out a new favourite or just spreading the word, every little bit helps support our local community.
