Hey everyone. Meet Lynna and her shop, Woofboard! It's a unique place for dog treats and dog related toys, treats, accessories, grooming supplies, supplements, and other items produced by artisan makers and independent producers.

Woofboard is first and foremost a dog charcuterie shop with natural dog treats that don't have a lot additives because Lynna's inspiration for the shop was her own dog who has allergies to many ingredients in commercial dog goodies. The other dog related products at the store are all sourced from independent producers. Many of the products are only sold online and aren't normally available in stores. Lynna's shop is your chance to get up close and personal with products you may have only seen in social media ads.

Besides, unique products, you'll also be finding events for dog lovers at Woofboard.

It's a Paint Your Pet sip and paint night where you'll be guided through making a canvas painting of your fur baby by an instructor.
