Dog forest trail snacks from Sammallaakson Puoti

What kind of trail snacks do you like to pack for a walk in the dog forest or any forest outing?

Sammallaakson Puoti is an online store born for peaceful forest adventures. It offers carefully selected products for nature-loving dog people and their dogs. The products are high-quality, mostly Finnish-made, and chosen either to suit forest outings or to bring a touch of the forest into your home.

Picture a peaceful day outdoors. In the cool morning air, the trail leads you deeper into the forest. Dew glistens on the grasses beside the path, and somewhere high in a spruce tree, a jay takes flight. Your backpack feels just right on your shoulders, and its contents promise a delightful snack break soon, perhaps by a campfire or on a mossy patch.

Here are a few ideas for what to pack in your backpack for your next visit to Someron Koirametsä or any nature outing:

Finnish dog treats from Somero

At Sammallaakson Puoti, you’ll find dried dog treats made in Somero. The current selection includes:

• Possun puraisu – Crispy pork pieces
• Siiven sihaus – Crunchy chicken wing tips
• Kanan kopaus – Tender chicken gizzards

These treats are easy to carry in a small pouch and are perfect for a relaxing snack break in the forest. Each treat contains just one ingredient, so you’ll always know exactly what your dog is getting.

Delicious snacks for humans too

Are you a coffee or tea person, or neither? What would be your favorite treat on a forest walk? Sammallaakson Puoti also offers tasty trail snacks for people. Currently, the selection includes for example:

• Kerkkäkahvi – Peruvian coffee roasted in Finland and infused with Finnish spruce tips. The spruce adds a soft, forest-like aroma to the coffee.
• Aamunkajo sea buckthorn-orange tea – If you prefer tea over coffee, this is a light and refreshing loose-leaf green tea flavored with Finnish superberry, sea buckthorn.
• Berry marshmallows – Authentic northern flavors from bilberry, lingonberry, and cloudberry. These marshmallows are a perfect small sweet treat for the woods, and great for toasting by a campfire.

Dog toys made from natural materials

If you’d like to delight your dog a little more, bring along one of the natural-material dog toys from Sammallaakson Puoti. They’re made of leather, jute, and other natural materials and are durable enough for forest play. The toys are great for games like tug-of-war. You’re welcome to bring your own toys to Someron Koirametsä, as long as you remember to collect them all before you leave the forest.

Sammallaakson Puoti was born out of love for the dog forest

Sammallaakson Puoti is our own little online shop, currently only available in Finnish. It was created with the same love as Someron Koirametsä and is named after a place dear to us, Sammallaakso. It’s a place where we find peace, breathe in rhythm with the forest, and remember what it means to be present in the moment. For us, Sammallaakso symbolizes well-being, connection to nature, and a little everyday indulgence. Through Sammallaakson Puoti, we want to share that feeling with your home and your adventures.

The well-being of dogs and respect for nature are close to our hearts, and we believe that as a visitor to Someron Koirametsä, you share these values too. You’ll find the shop at sammallaakso.fi (link opens in Finnish), where you can order tasty snacks for your next forest trip, whether you’re heading to Someron Koirametsä or wherever the trail takes you. We deliver our products conveniently by mail throughout Finland.

We already have lots of ideas for developing the shop’s selection, but we’d love to hear your wishes too. When you close your eyes and imagine a wonderful forest adventure with your loved ones, what would you want to find in your backpack? Share your thoughts with us, let’s build the shop together!
