About

About The Barkers Dozen:
With a passion for providing Homemade Organic Pet Treats that everyone could afford, Shawn Sherry and Anthony Newman founded The Barkers Dozen in 2009. With a growing worry of unsafe pet treats, they decided to start a local and organic dog treat business where its customers could feel safe and secure about what they fed to that loyal member of their family.

The Barkers Dozen treats use the highest-quality, human-grade organic ingredients and are made in a variety of shapes and sizes to satisfy any furry friend. The gourmet dog treats are made on demand and in small batches to ensure the freshest product possible for its customers, without using artificial preservatives. Current treats include Barkers Family Chicken Treats, Peanut Butter Cups, Big Dippers, Barkscotti, Carrot Treats, Peanut Butter Treats, Cookie Jars & Gift Baskets, and more!

The Barkers Dozen celebrated its first year in business in 2010, and to mark the occasion, redesigned its Web site and rolled out an interactive, virtual storefront and bakery, as well as The Daily Barker blog and e-newsletter.

In January 2011, Sherry assumed sole ownership of The Barkers Dozen, following a year of historic growth for the company.


About The Daily Barker:
The Daily Barker is a newly launched blog and accompanying e-newsletter under The Barkers Dozen, a homemade, certified-organic dog treat partnership based in Chicopee, Mass. The Daily Barker’s mission is to spread knowledge and to advocate discussions about dog ownership, so man’s best friends (and their humans) can live long, healthy and tail-wagging-filled lives.

The Daily Barker focuses on the ups and downs of pet ownership, covering the challenges and the benefits, as well as the sweet and bittersweet moments of living with a furry companion. It will cover pet trends, products and news, as well as provide expert columns where dog owners can seek advice, from how to acclimate a puppy to a new home to grieving the loss of a beloved pet. Another area of particular focus is health and wellness, as this is closely tied to the mission of its parent, The Barkers Dozen.
