Spotlight on Taj Ma Hound - Bakery for Dogs in the Oakhurst neighborhood in Decatur, GA 

This afternoon I was in Oakhurst, a very cool neighborhood in Decatur, GA. A lime green building caught my eye. I just had to explore and see what it was. It's a bakery just for dogs with things like carrot cake muffins made with, of course shredded carrots, peanut butter, wheat flour, honey, eggs and vanilla. I was told they are OK for people to eat, but as much as I love carrot cake, I'll leave these special ones to the dogs. 

Taj Ma Hound Bakery for Dogs has been open since October 2007 and is owned by Krista Aversano. They are located at 707D East Lake Drive in Decatur, GA 30030 across from Steinbeck's Ale House. It's near the corner of East Lake Drive and Oakview Drive.  Call 404-377-9220 for more info. 

Watch for a fun upcoming event, Dogtoberfest which will be held on Saturday October 3, 2009.  Dogtoberfest will have a costume contest (for the dogs), dog trainer, adoptions, micro chipping and more. Check back here, I'll be posting more details as they become available.

Taj Ma Hound Bakery for Dogs has Dog birthday Cakes and homemade biscuits that look like bakery cookies, see the picture above.  So, next time your dog needs a special treat stop in at Taj Ma Hound. If you're not in the area, you can order treats online.  Let's support our local businesses!
