Our Story

   

 

Hi!  My name is Nicky and together with my husband Dave and our sidekicks Earl and Harley Quinn, we own the Drooling Dog Bakery. 

We are a proud dog-mom owned small business dedicated to creating delicious, fun, and healthy homemade treats for your furry friends. Our treats are made with human-grade ingredients and no artificial preservatives, ensuring that your pets get only the best. We carefully select ingredients that are not only yummy for dogs but also have health benefits, making our treats suitable for most dogs with allergies and health issues. Our treats are handmade in small batches and cooked at low-temperature methods to retain vital nutrients. We believe in providing the best for your dogs, ensuring they stay healthy and happy.

Our Story: Fort Myers Barkuterie began with an extraordinary bloodhound named Rufus, who was allergic to almost everything. We struggled to find treats that weren’t filled with unhealthy ingredients so decided to create our own. Our mission was simple: to make wholesome, nutritious treats that Rufus could enjoy.

As we perfected our recipes, we shared these treats with friends. The response was overwhelming—people loved them and kept asking when we would make more. Their dogs couldn’t get enough! Even after we lost Rufus in 2020, we continued making treats for our dogs and others, driven by the joy and health they brought to our furry friends.

Inspired by the growing trend of charcuterie on social media and my lifelong passion for going the extra mile for dogs, I realized I could elevate this concept and make charcuterie for dogs (Barkuterie) Just like that, Fort Myers Barkuterie was born—a small business dedicated to curating dog treats made with human-quality ingredients. Every product we sell is something I would—and have—eaten myself. Over the last year so many clients have asked when we will be getting a store front so they can come spoil their pets more often and we are finally excited to share that The Bell Tower Shops have become home to our first bakery and boutique-The Drooling Dog Bakery!

We look forward to spoiling your pups!
