Canada Post nips dog treats By OLIVER MOORE, The Globe and Mail
Dogs may not care what their biscuits look like, but Canada Post certainly does. The Crown corporation has successfully lobbied a chain of pet stores to stop selling its popular biscuits shaped like letter carriers.
The president of Pet Valu Canada, a chain with hundreds of outlets in Ontario and Manitoba, said yesterday that the company has decided to stop carrying Bark Bars after receiving a letter from the legal department of Canada Post.
The dog treats come in flavours such as Parmesan cheese, fish and chips, and garlic and are shaped to represent the age-old prey of dogs – cats and letter carriers.
