Ever find yourself wondering what special treat to spoil your pooch with during those cosy family weekend moments? Maybe while you’re sipping on a G&T, digging into your favourite takeaway, and your furry friend is giving you those 'I’d like some of that!' eyes? Well, let me whisk you away on a delightful journey that turned that very conundrum into a flourishing business loaded with tail-wags and wet-nosed nuzzles.
The Spark That Lit the Oven
Picture this: supermarket aisles sprawling before you, filled to the brim with every conceivable treat for your pet, yet nothing stands out. This was my reality back in 2012, which sparked a lightbulb moment – why shouldn’t dogs have their version of a muffin, a doggy Woofin, to enjoy? That thought was all the motivation I needed. With a dash of creativity and a pinch of love, I baked the first-ever batch of Woofins in my kitchen. It was evident from Spot's ecstatic reaction; we were onto something remarkable.
From Kitchen Capers to Woofin' Wonders
The journey from baking in my humble kitchen to now operating out of our own manufacturing plant has been nothing short of a rollercoaster made of dough, frosting, and dreams. Today, The Barking Bakery is a thriving testament to what passion and persistence can bake up. Our delights such as Woofins, pupcorn, and pawty cakes have found their way onto the shelves of prominent pet outlets like Pets at Home, Occado, and The Range. Not to mention the cosy dog-friendly hotels, bustling cafes, and serene garden centres that also celebrate our treats.
Despite our growth and the number of orders that keep our ovens warm, I remain deeply involved. With flour on my apron and a beater in hand, I’m still as hands-on as ever. My team, as phenomenal as they are, believes that the sky’s the limit. We’re continuously dreaming up new treats to exit our ovens – each one guaranteed to be pawsitively sensational.
Only the Finest for Fido
One thing that truly sets The Barking Bakery apart is our commitment to quality. Each treat that we craft is:
Hand-baked in our on-site manufacturing plant.
Created using only the finest human-grade ingredients – if it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for our pets.
DEFRA approved, ensuring everything we produce meets high safety and quality standards.
Suitable for dogs over 3 months of age, so puppies can join in the fun too!
Packaged in recyclable materials to ensure we’re looking after our planet as well as our pets.
Salsa Approved!
And if all that's not quite convincing enough, let me add the cherry – or should I say biscuit? – on top. Every recipe, every batch, and every single treat is Salsa approved. That’s not just some fancy term; it’s our stamp of quality ensuring every nibble and crunch is just perfect.
