Grand Opening of Gerbeaux Dog Bakery - healthy dog treats for your Dog!


All we can say is YAY, we have just launched our new website for Gerbeaux Dog Bakery!

Gerbeaux Dog Bakery provides healthy dog treats that are made with simple, clean ingredients. All of our dog treats are free of wheat, corn and soy because they are three of the biggest culprits as far as food allergies in dogs. Our "All Natural" peanut butter is made from 100% peanuts that we grind here in our store, nothing else. We use sugar free yogurt for our icing that can be flavored with peanut butter or carob. Our healthy dog treats are sweetened with organic raw wildflower honey and/or blackstrap molasses. For our toppings we use coconut and some sprinkles. With the exception of our sprinkles everything is sugar free.

All of our dog cookies are made in small batches and are hand cut and decorated in our bakery located in Greenwood, Indiana. Straight from our kitchen to the mouth of your precious friend.

Gerbeaux Dog Bakery uses locally sourced human-grade ingredients from right here in the US. All dog treats are under strict analysis and testing by the Indiana State Chemist, located at Purdue University.

We work very closely with local rescue groups and our local Humane Society. A percentage of the proceeds from all our homemade dog treats goes to helping every pet find their forever loving home.

Whether you are just a mom or dad wanting to share the love or a pet boutique retail shop that is interested in selling our healthy dog treats - shop with us! Apply for a wholesale account here:

Temporary homes and Lasting Love - Foster a pet today!

Saving pets through Adoption is one of the most important things to Gerbeaux Dog Bakery. Since October is coming to an end and and so ends - National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Certainly because the month is ending doesn't mean to not adopt a dog or cat. But, you can also help by becoming a foster parent to dogs and cats.

Remember that it takes a Village and you can help by also becoming a Foster Parent to many animals: 
1/ Contact your animal welfare group in your community and learn the details about Fostering a dog
2/Fill out the application and be ready to explain why you would be good at Fostering a pet and your motivation for doing so.
3/ Be prepared for a home visit. You will be asked for personal references, vet references and the requirements you will have to follow must be met.

Remember, we all need second chances in life - that includes "man's best friend" - why not become a Foster parent today and make a difference to the ones that need it. For additional information about fostering a dog or cat you can visit - your local ASPCA.

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!

Let's face it, we all need love in our life and what better way than to have a furry companion that is there for you no matter what. With this being said and October being Adopt a Shelter Dog Month - why not give a dog a second chance at a happy home?

Gerbeaux Dog Bakery is passionate about pets and all enjoying the experience of joy and love in a shelter dog. Think of the way that a adopted animal can assist you in life.
  • Is there a elderly parent than might need a companion? 
  • Do you need a exercise buddy? 
  • Do you live alone and find that a pet might improve your loneliness? 
  • Do you find that your children would love a pet and be able to show the animal love? 
An adopted pet can bring so many things to the lives of humans. Gerbeaux Dog Bakery encourages all people to visit their local animal shelter and see what they have. It won't hurt to go in and visit with the dogs and cats there to see if they fit your personality.

Of course there are many things that you need to think of and consider as you begin your process such as:
1/ Will the size of the dog fit into your lifestyle and home
2/ Will you and your family be able to adequately take care of the animal
3/ Can you finally afford a pet at this time.

 If you can figure out the best solution and still be able to adopt a pet this month, please do. There is no greater love than the love of a pet so head out to your local animal shelter or visit www.petfinder.com to find the perfect furry friend for you and your family. You won't regret it!

Flu Season for Dogs too!!

Flu Season has officially started and your pet may be at risk too! YEP, dogs can get the flu too!

Did you know that CIV is Canine influenza virus? All dogs can get CIV, some can get very sick and some may not show symptoms at all. CIV is highly contagious to other dogs just as human flu.

CIV can have the following signs, so watch for them this season
  • Mild Fever
  • Tiredness
  • No Appetite
  • Dry cough with some sputum
  • Runny Nose
It's hard to imagine your dog having the flu since human's are so worried about flu themselves, but at Gerbeaux Dog Bakery we care about all animals and want you to be informed.

If your dog goes to Dog Parks, a kennel, to a Dog Spa or you walk him in a group - they are at bigger risk for CIV.  It is imperative that you at your Vet about CIV to make sure that your little one stays healthy. There is great treatment for CIV - so ask about it.

For more information on CIV - contact your Vet or visit www.doginfluenza.com.
There is alot of information out there about CIV and the new vaccination for the dog flu - to see if your state has been infected - visit the CIV State Locator.

Watch this wonderful video below and stay informed about Canine Influenza Virus!

Watch the candy and the goblins!


With Halloween only weeks away, soon our houses will be filled with ghosts, ghouls, goblins and candy. Storing up candy for the Halloween night "trick-or-treaters" and bringing home a bag full of goodies can be exciting and fun—but unfortunately, it can cause some problems in your home for your furry little ghosts.

Our four legged goblins enjoy diving into those trick or treat bags, but candy doesn't set well with our pets. Chocolate is any amount is bad for your pet. Chocolate has both caffeine and theobromine a stimulant occurring in the cacao bean. Consumption of theobromine by our pets can lead serious medical issues such as seizures, toxicity, convulsions and even death in some pets.

Be aware of Xylitol. Xylitol is a chemical used as a sweetener in sugar free and reduced sugar food items. These items are chewing gum and some candy. This dangerous chemical can cause liver failure, vomiting, depression and seizures.


Watch those hard candies - hard candy can get lodged in the throat of your pet making them very prone to choking.

While we know that Halloween is a super fun time for our children, not so sure it's great for our pets. Take extra steps to ensure that the Halloween candy is kept up on tables and far away from our little curious creatures.  Try having great dog treats on hand to give your pet - Gerbeaux Dog Bakery has great iced dog treats and seasonal dog treats that you can give all year long.

If you suspect that your pet has consumed candy - contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at  (888) 426-4435.

So, take care of those little Halloweenies this Halloween and take those extra steps for pet safety at Halloween
