Our Story

CheddarDogs is a locally owned and operated Calgary shop for natural dog treats and birthday cakes. We use local ingredients whenever possible and make cakes, treats, and birthday goodies with dogs at the heart of it all.

It started with Fez. When he had tummy trouble during treatment for meningitis, his family began making treats that were easier on his stomach. He will always be the original Cheddar Dog.

From everyday treats to birthday cakes, CheddarDogs is here to help celebrate the dogs who make life brighter.


Meet our Taste Testers

The dogs behind CheddarDogs have always been more than taste testers. They inspired the treats, kept quality control lively, and made this little Calgary business what it is today.
