5 ‘Barkeries’ in Mumbai to delight your dog’s taste buds

on

Has Fido been turning his delicate doggie nose up at your carefully prepared chicken and rice? Perhaps it’s time to give him a break from his healthy diet and indulge him with a palate cleanser or two. That said, here are some barkeries – sorry, bakeries – that you can visit in Mumbai to buy your dog some sweet treats. In no particular order:

The Spoilt Brat Barkery 

Where: Mantralaya

Their motto is that “the best way to reach a man’s best friend’s heart is also through his stomach.” With this in mind, they use only natural ingredients like honey, fresh fruits, vegetables and oats to make biscuits like ginger honey treats and after dinner mints as well as savory delights like corn dogs and woof woof waffles. They also construct birthday cakes, available in bone, kennel and teddy bear shapes.

Waggy Bags Gourmet Dog Barkery

Where: Juhu

Kat Ferrara, a trained pet nutritionist, understands the nutritional needs of your furry friends. So, while baking treats she considers the age of her canine clients, and puts together a cake or gourmet meal that is delicious and healthy for your pet. She also understands that dogs are carnivorous in nature, and tries to incorporate healthy doses of proteins in her meals. Most popular are her ‘barkday’ cakes, mutt’ley muffins and crispy crumbles.

Gormutt

Where: Chembur
