Pastries for Pets

Everyone loves baked goods, even your pets! KRQE did a great piece about how former Las Vegas real estate agent Daphne Wright opened the Pooch Pantry, Bakery and Boutique in Santa Fe. The store’s specialty is baked goods for pets, a topic Daphne became interested in after two of her dogs developed diabetes. I’m sure you’re wondering, so the answer is yes: the treats are all natural and delicious for people too!
