Baking Bonds and Paws
The Bark Avenue Bakery Chronicle
THE PERFECT MIX
A Tale of Friendship, Passion, and Paws
Kathy and Shannon are not only the owners of Bark Avenue Bakery but longtime friends; we both love baking and have a passion for animals, and we pride ourselves on our knowledge of pet nutrition, baking & customer service. Our children have grown up at Bark Avenue in many different realms, from attending our Bark Avenue Bakery' learn to make dog treats summer day camp, filling in at the holidays, working summers or even special events and festivals, to handling our social media.
STARTING SMALL, DREAMING BIG
The Journey of a Pioneer Pet Bakery
Bark Avenue Bakery opened a small boutique retail bakery in Orlando in 2002. At that time, dog bakeries were rare, and many thought the store to be a short-lived novelty. However, the need for healthy and wholesome dog treats was, in fact, a reality. Although we are considered a dog bakery, we refer to ourselves as a pet bakery, as cats and horses enjoy our treats. Although it is no longer a boutique retail bakery, we are still in Orlando and prevalent in the area.
DEVELOPMENT & COMMITMENT
Beyond Retail: Expanding Horizons
We now have a much more significant online and wholesale presence. Yet, we still welcome the walk-in customer to purchase our baked treats and dehydrated meat line or to take an order for a custom birthday or even a gender reveal cake.
For us, Bark Avenue is more than just a job; it is a mission to educate pet owners on the importance of pet nutrition, especially treats. If your pet has an allergy, we can customize treats to accommodate as we create and bake all our recipes in-house.
Give us a call at 407-345-9999 to discuss your pet's dietary needs.
TWO DECADES
Celebrating and Remembering Our Four-Legged Friends
Since being in business since 2002, fortunately, we have been truly blessed to have made some great four-legged friends (oh yeah, their owners, too!). Still, being in this business so long, we have also had to grieve with the four-legged families as their pets leave to cross the rainbow bridge. Still, we often get to welcome a new member as well. We are truly grateful for the relationships formed over the years.
If you have taken the time to read this, we thank you, and we welcome any feedback from you regarding our treats. We love to hear from our customers, whether new or repeat customers.
Sincerely, Kathy & Shannon
