Arc dog treats are now available
We here at The Arc Carroll County love dogs. Who doesn't?
The individuals who participate in our day program have labored long and hard to come up with a wholesome treat any dog could love: Arc Dog Treats. The dog treats are made from scratch right here at The Arc by the folks in our day program. The ingredients include: banana, whole wheat flour, eggs, peanut butter, oats and honey.
The individuals participating in the program, along with parent advocate Sherri Chavis, are hoping to turn their love for dogs and baking into a business. They are selling The Arc Dog Treats. The treats are available at The Arc at 180 Kriders Church Road, Westminster. For details: 410-848-4124 ext. 146.
Because our bakers only use fresh ingredients, the dog treats must be used within a week, or should be frozen until ready to use.
The pricing is as follows:
*$4 for a 25-piece bag
*$6 for a 50-piece bag
*$10 for a 100 piece bag
