Beedom Farms and Devil’s Due Distillery
A honeybee apiary and a whiskey distillery might not sound like dog treat experts, but Beedom Farms and Devil’s Due Distillery are a match made in pup heaven. Some distillers discard spent mash, a grain byproduct of the distilling process, but these business partners got creative—Beedom Farms pairs it with pumpkin, honey, and peanut butter to create Gunner’s Genuine Whiskey Biscuits. High in protein—and nonalcoholic!—these treats fulfill the Devil’s Due ethos to “Drink whiskey, pet dogs.” Find them at the distillery or order online.

With eight rescue pups between Bubbles, Bones & Biscuits owners Brooke O’Neil McKinney and Melissa Boothe, it’s their business to know what pets love. After the pair mastered homemade soaps and treats for their dogs, they joined forces in 2020 to share their bubbles and biscuits with pet owners across the region. Shampoo bars and paw balms keep pups feeling fresh, while treat flavors like Cheese Please and Out of This Tunaverse satisfy even the most spoiled of critters.
