You probably won’t be surprised to hear that Millie & Ruby are my beautiful (if not a bit mad!) pet Border Collies. Millie is an 13 year old black & white traditional collie & Ruby is a 12 year old red & white collie. Ruby is very food orientated and a little hyperactive so I started baking her biscuits for training that didn't contain all the nasty additives etc that shop bought ones do. I developed a range of homemade treats and biscuits that would help her train without becoming more hyperactive. Here at Millie & Ruby’s Bakery we are passionate about what we feed our dogs and cats and much research goes into the ingredients we use. We provide a range of handmade dog treats that are free from artificial additives, flavourings and colourings. We do not use sugars or salts and our treats are baked in such a way that we do not need to use preservatives either. We use Rye flour in most of our recipes which is wheat free and low in gluten. The oil we use is coconut oil which is good for coats, skin and digestion amongst many other health benefits. Most of our ingredients are organic and sourced locally where possible and we aim to make most of our treats as low fat as possible. No cocoa or theobromine is contained in our products as they are very harmful for dogs. All of our ingredients are of human food grade which means we would not feed anything to our animals that would not be fit for a human to eat. Because all of our biscuits are freshly baked without preservatives we recommend that you keep them in an airtight container, this way the will keep for longer. They will keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months (unless otherwise stated) & are able to be frozen for up to four months. Our treats are made by hand at our home based dog bakery which has undergone rigorous inspection by Trading Standards (GB193/717) and has been DEFRA approved as a petfood plant under the Animal By Products Regulations.
