WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS
1. Happy Hounds Peanut Butter Soft Chew Pet Treats (CBD only)
Are your dogs barking? We’re not talking about your aching feet. Are your actual dogs barking? Odds are it’s because they ran out of their favorite calming, peanut butter flavored treat from Happy Hounds. Not to worry, we’ve got you and your four (or three) legged friend covered! All dogs (and cats) get anxious sometimes, and when your furry friend is experiencing anxiety or discomfort, CBD can be a relaxing, calming addition to their treat collection. Perfect for during thunderstorms, fireworks, or strenuous physical activity, these treats will have your dog begging for more. No begging! Just come on down and scoop yourself a bag (or five) today!
2. Happy Hounds Bacon Strips for Pets (CBD only, for cats too!)
Few things in this life conjure feelings of splendor with little to no effort. A soft breeze on a hot summer day. Peeling the clear, plastic film off the front of a brand new appliance. And bacon. That’s right, bacon. The ancient, chinese cut of cured pork that has made its way around the world and into just about every modern cuisine. You know who else loves bacon? Our pets! That’s right. Dogs and cats alike love the salty, fatty, delicious pork belly slices that we serve up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And, while these bacon strip CBD treats aren’t technically real bacon, your furry friend won’t care. They taste just like the real thing, and the CBD will help your pet feel calm, cool, and collected in almost any situation. No skillet needed!
3. Happy Hounds Calm Drops (CBD only)
Pups have feelings too! That’s right. Dogs of all breeds and ages experience emotions just like we do. Sometimes they’re that happy, fun loving pup and other times they may feel sad, scared, anxious, or otherwise uncomfortable. For those who have pets that don’t prefer unfamiliar treats, Happy Hounds also offers a CBD tincture that you can easily mix into your furry friend’s mealtime for a long lasting sense of chill that will leave them feeling ready for the day! These drops are dog and cat safe and pet owner approved. It’s hot out this summer. Help keep your canines calm and your felines feeling great with Happy Hounds Calm Drops! Available at Terp Bros Astoria today!
WEEKLY MUNCHIES HIGHLIGHT – CHICK IT OUT ASTORIA
There are dishes in every country and culture that rise above the rest due to their simplicity and focus on classic, simple flavors. One of these dishes in Thailand is called Khao Man Gai or ‘Chicken and RIce’ and if you have never tried it, you have to Chick it Out. See what I did there? Using the name of the restaurant in a sentence. Classic. Speaking of classic, the flavors of Khao Man Gai are just that. Roasted, rich, juicy, and flavorful boneless chicken served over perfectly steamed rice. Simple, elegant, delicious. They also serve numerous variations of the dish including crispy fried chicken cutlets, spicy and garlic versions, and many more. They also serve amazing thai noodle dishes, dumplings, and even house made larb. Never had Larb? Do yourself a favor. Put your phone down, close your laptop, turn off your TV, and head to your nearest Larb dealer for a taste of that sweet, sweet good stuff. Ground chicken with chiles, garlic, peanuts, lime juice, cilantro, and more. It’s an instant classic! No matter what you try here, you’re guaranteed to love it. Don;t believe me? Chick out their reviews online. People come from all over the city to taste their intense yet simple and balanced flavors. You’ll love it too!
