To The Barkery Stratford

Bentley – On behalf of the McLeod/Williams family & their dog Bentley. We would love to thank The Barkery for the best service and treats/toys for Bentley. Bentley was spoiled on his first birthday and was very happy with his treats and his new toy. He was going nuts and he didn’t want to leave the toy alone. We will definitely keep coming back to get more gifts for our two dogs. Thank You. We recommend this place to everyone who has a dog. 🙂

Many friendly barks,

Teddy

This is Teddy- a beautiful 112lb dog from Quebec. His owner Jean-Claude was happy to find our treats in a store in Hudson, Quebec and Teddy gets a yummy healthy bedtime snack every night now! Lucky Teddy!!

Happy Jaxx!

We have a 7 month old mini schnauzer named Jaxx. The Barkery downtown London, inside the Covent Garden Market is essential to my little guys needs! Diane has been a great help with constant information about raising Jaxx into a good dog. I have learned a lot from her. She has pointed us to a good quality food, recommended some excellent dog trainers, and also finding a groomer. My last experience was the best one yet. We decided to change Jaxx’s food to ACANA Pacifica from ACANA wild prairie It is a all fish based (made in Canada) dog food. Now, our little one is a picky eater. After trying it out for a couple of weeks, Jaxx just did not like the fish. I informed the Barkery about this and they told me to bring it back to exchange it for the Wild Prairie that Jaxx was eating. This was very satisfying and outstanding customer service! Good quality dog food is expensive, but to have a store that will back you and your dogs needs is priceless!

Thanks The Barkey!

Roger and Christina….. woof, woof oh ya and Jaxx too!

PUPSICLES!!

We love the Barkery’s Pupsicles! We use them daily in our boarding kennel. Our guests delight in the variety of flavours – Peanut Butter Banana being a crowd favourite! They were a great treat over this very hot summer, and will be a mainstay the kennel for years to come!

Angela from Sudbury ON

Hi there 🙂 I just wanted to write to say that I was lucky enough to come across your location in Covent Garden Market in London and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of products especially the wheat free/grain free alternatives because my dog has a sensitivity to it. I am moving to london in the winter so It is nice to see local shops selling their products ( i know you are based out of stratford) I just think your products our great. We have a group on facebook that we share stories,pictures, share advice, raise awareness about animal cruelty, share petitions and share products we love. We have a little over 1000 members but I have shares the link to your web page I hope you don’t mind. EVERYONE needs to support local companies because these are the companies that care and I can see that in the products you deliver. Kudos to you!!!

The group is called Buddy “The Hero Dog” , we had an incident of animal cruelty in sudbury in March that prompted the group to begin and we’ve been gathering groups, and slowly making small changes as much as we can in our community whether it be by holding charity events for our rescues or by urging people to volunteer their time. I will link you to it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/157715737682989/

Here is what was posted on Facebook: I just wanted to share with everyone a little business I came across when I was down at the market in downtown London. It is called THE BARKERY !! I know many of us have the recipe for the wonderful doggy treats but for those who don`t have the time or don`t feel the can make the treats, check out their website. It is a business based out of stratford, Ontario. and I noticed you can actually order off of their website. They have a variety of different products(all natural with no artificial colours, flavours, salt or extra sugar) and I am all for promoting and supporting small business. The ones who don`t overly mass produce and who haven`t been gobbled up by big corporation mumbo jumbo. The small companies really do care about the products they send out . Check them out. They have wheat free, grain free, gluten free products also for our furry friends who are allergic or have a low tolerance! Riley loves their treats. Best part is you can pronounce ALL the ingredients in these treats! 🙂

Willow

On behalf of the McLeod/Williams family & their dog Willow. We would love to thank The Barkery for the best service and treats for Willow. Willow was spoiled on her first birthday and was very happy with her treats. She was wagging her tail a lot after she had the treats and wanted more. We will definitely keep coming back to get more gifts for Willow. Thank You. We recommend this place to everyone who has a dog. 🙂

“Next to the Stratford Festival our big destination in Stratford is The Barkery. We have been going there for years to buy healthy, wonderful and whimsical treats for our dogs Frisker and Fanny and their puppy pals. The truth is, once we tried The Barkery we wouldn’t go anywhere else and when we are running low, we order our doggie treats and The Barkery ships them to us. The sight of a Barkery bag coming out of the cupboard gets our dogs tails wagging. Thank you Barkery for your first rate treats.”

Abigail Winter-Culliford/ Sadie Culliford/Coco, Stratford ON

“Okay. So I’m addicted to the Barkery….. in more ways than one: To start with, the service is to bark for. The moment I walk through the door, my precious canine and I are treated like gold starting with woofs and wags from Daisy and Samantha followed by a smile and friendly greeting from one of the Barkery’s competent staff. And did I mention the bright and playful feeling of the place? In addition to the mega-variety of dog treats from “Emu liver” and “Chicken Liver Snaps” to “Postman Fingers,” Paul and Cheryl always have the shelves stocked with all the most current toys, shampoos and specialty items for every dog’s needs.

It was the Barkery that we wrote “home” about when we first moved to Stratford – one of the first hot spots that we discovered and frequented regularly for its positive vibe, unique space and interesting conversation. And now, 2 1/2 years later, the Barkery still stands as one of our top five favourite shops in Stratford.

Back to the “dog treats.” My favourite variety is the “Peanut-butter / Banana Biscuits.” Our dog, Coco, usually doesn’t get to experience many of these ones since I am busy eating them all! My secret to staying healthy is to eat seven Peanut-butter and Banana Barkery biscuits each day with my Green Tea. My daugther, Abigail’s favourite treat is the strawberry “Pupsicle.”

Best of all, our Coco is loved and valued at the Barkery. Here ends (but continues) my Barkery addiction story.”
