The Doggy Bag: A Unique Boutique for Pet Lovers and Foodies

Welcome to The Doggy Bag, East Greenbush's premier boutique where passion for pets meets culinary creativity! We are Dave and Robin Pugliese, the proud owners of this unique business. Our mission is simple: to provide high-quality dog products and delicious baked goods that cater to both your furry friends and your sweet tooth.

With Dave's culinary degree and Robin's certification in nutrition, we have combined our expertise to create a haven for dogs & humans with discerning taste buds.

Our journey began when our beloved dog, Tucker, developed allergies and struggled to find suitable food options. Frustrated by the lack of quality alternatives in the market, we decided to take matters into our own hands. Inspired by our passion for animals and fueled by our love for Tucker and our other furry companions, Bonnie and Georgie, we embarked on a mission to provide dogs with delicious and nutritious meals and treats.

 Dave's culinary background allows us to craft canine cuisine that not only satisfies your dog's cravings but also meets their dietary needs. We believe that dogs deserve the same level of culinary excellence that humans enjoy, and we strive to create meals that are both visually appealing and packed with flavor.

 Robin's expertise in nutrition ensures that every ingredient we use is carefully selected to promote optimal health and well-being for your furry friends. We understand that each dog is unique, and we take pride in offering a wide range of options to accommodate various dietary requirements and preferences.

 At The Doggy Bag, we are more than just a business; we are a community of dog lovers who are dedicated to providing the best for our four-legged companions. We understand the challenges that come with finding suitable food options for dogs with allergies or sensitivities, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Each recipe is thoughtfully crafted to ensure your pup enjoys nutritious, tasty snacks that promote their health and happiness.

 But our creativity doesn’t stop at dog treats! Our bakery is a haven for humans, featuring an array of gourmet delights that will tantalize your taste buds. Indulge in our handcrafted cookies, beautifully designed custom sugar cookies, decadent cake slices, and our famous cinnamon rolls that are perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!

 We also offer monthly sugar decorating classes where you can learn the art of baking and decorating alongside fellow enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking to enhance your skills or just have some fun, our classes are designed for everyone, from beginners to seasoned bakers.

 What sets The Doggy Bag apart is our commitment to community and compassion. Everything in our store is made by us or sourced from local vendors who share our values. We take pride in partnering with vendors who give back to animal societies, ensuring that your purchases help support the well-being of pets in need.

 Join us at The Doggy Bag, where every visit is a celebration of love for pets and the joy of baking. We invite you to explore our unique offerings and become part of our community dedicated to making tails wag and taste buds dance!
