The walk-up window was key to sales during the pandemic.

Colorful decals by Kaitlin Robinson make for a bright, fun interior.

Her mural behind the counter shows a Corgi chasing The Seattle Barkery treat truck. An “R” hangs from his collar for Rufus, the first dog to accompany this person to work at Amazon.

We first featured Ben’s invention in PETS+ last year. He runs a PVC pipe from the top of a counter inside a treat truck or shop, down and outside to doggie height. Canine and human customers alike love getting samples this way!

Dawn and Ben started their company with a treat truck. There are now two treat trucks and three brick-and-mortar shops.

Picky Pekingese Sherman served as taste tester during development of Dawn’s first recipes, including this one for the Doggy Sundae.

Her Unicorn Cake continues to bring in regular orders.

As does her Ball Cake.

Dogs definitely rule at The Seattle Barkery, but Dawn and Ben do keep cat toys and catnip bubbles in stock, and cat parents can special order a tuna-based cake finished with cod skin sprinkles.

Bacon Pupcakes.

In addition to his roles as inventor and builder, Ben air fries chicken hearts and feet, duck necks and other body parts in coconut oil fresh daily. They are a big seller across all locations. “Saturday alone, we can go through 400 to 500 chicken hearts.”

Each month, The Seattle Barkery Box features a pupstomer on the front and four of their favorite treats inside, and their rescue gets $1 from each box sold.  

The Seattle Barkery posts photos of every cake it bakes to social media, and they are often shared by the happy pups who receive them.

Other marketing includes this adorable Cutest Pupcake photo board outside of the shop.
