    This family-owned business makes high-quality packaged seed blends and individually packaged seed products giving bird, deer and other wildlife enthusiasts hours of viewing enjoyment! And here’s one more reason to love Baxter’s: The Ziegler family donates a portion of every purchase to children’s hospitals to benefit families dealing with childhood illnesses.

Bill and Tammy specialize in premier leather crafts and make beautiful dog collars and dog leads, among many other gorgeous items. Your furry friend is sure to make all the best-dressed lists this year thanks to this talented Rock County duo!
  4. Front Porch Pets (Wild Rose)
    These chews and treats are gluten free, highly nutritious, excellent for your dog’s teeth and health and most importantly, the pooches love ‘em! Chef David has developed a patented process for creating a dog chew that is hard, with ridges on the surface, yet has the chewability that dogs can’t seem to get enough of. Front Porch Pets’ sweet potato dog treats are produced and packaged in Wild Rose, Wis. and made from USA grown orange-fleshed sweet potatoes.
  5. Masters Luscious Dog Sensations (Phelps)
    The only treats for dogs with attitude! Masters Luscious Dog Sensation produces homemade dog treats meaning there are no added chemicals, preservatives, corn or soy. This Phelps-based company is known for helping out owners of pups with special diets so be sure to inquire if you have picky eaters at home.

    Thanks to Mrs. Beaster’s Biskits in Columbus, pet owners can choose from 18 varieties of dog treats (including nine varieties that are completely grain- and gluten-free), three varieties of cat treats and four varieties of horse treats. We love that most of the fruit and vegetables used in Mrs. Beaster’s Biskits are grown naturally right on their farm, too!
