Congratulations to the Barkers Dozen

Congratulations to my friends at the The Barkers Dozen, an organic and eco-friendly dog treat company on the GRAND OPENING of their new brick and mortar store, called Paw Street Barkery!! The Barkery is located at 685 James Street, Chicopee, Massachusetts 01020.

Well-behaved, vaccinated, and leashed dogs are encouraged to bring their humans to this new pet-friendly store. The store gives you and your human the opportunity to fully experience and sample the wholesome goodness, quality ingredients, fun and love that is baked into every organic dog treat the company creates.  Paw Street Barkery stocks the entire line of organic dog treats made by The Barkers Dozen, including its signature flavors, gourmet carob treats and holiday gift boxes!  If you haven't gotten treats in a gift box, you are really missing out- BARK at your human- you need this experience!

Several months ago, I became associated with them while assisting with a fund raiser for a dog and human in need.   To my surprise, soon after the fundraiser was finished, I got a nice package of treats from them for helping out.  I loved them!!  For Christmas 2012, my human bought me some treats from them and again they are delicious.

"Opening our a retail store that allows customers to touch, taste, and smell our products, while engaging with our people, is a historic milestone for The Barkers Dozen,” said Shawn Sherry, company president and CEO. “We aim to educate pet owners about the importance of their pets’ health, and how ingredients in their furry friends’ food play a critical role. Opening a retail storefront in our hometown not only allows us to better achieve this objective, but is a natural evolution for our company, allowing our loyal customers a convenient shopping experience – both online and in-store.”

Paw Street Barkery will also become the central bakery location for the company, where fresh-baked organic dog treats will be produced through a long-standing partnership with Aditus, Inc., an organization that provides community-based employment and other services to Intellectually Disabled Individuals. As part of The Barkers Dozen’s mission to give back to its community through social responsibility, it has partnered with Aditus Group to bake and package its treats since 2011.
