Our Story

   

 

Hi!  My name is Nicky and together with my husband Dave and our sidekicks Bullseye and Harley Quinn, we own Fort Myers Barkuterie. 

Fort Myers Barkuterie started because of our amazing bloodhound named Rufus who was allergic to everything.  We struggled to find treats that weren’t filled with garbage and had simple, wholesome ingredients for him to enjoy so we went to work and started making our own.  We shared those treats with friends and quickly developed a large following.  People would often ask when we were making a new batch and if they could purchase some because their dog loved them so much.   We lost Rufus in 2020 but continued making treats for my other dogs.   

I started seeing Barkuterie Trays popping up all over my social media.  Those that know me, know I have always been a bit extra when it comes to dogs and I thought to myself, “I can do that better.”  The end result---Fort Myers Barkuterie!  A small business that curates treats specially for dogs using only human quality ingredients.  There is not one thing that we sell that I wouldn’t (and haven’t) eaten myself!   All our treats are handmade in small batches with simple ingredients at low temperatures to insure they retain vital nutrients to help keep your dog’s healthy!   Bullseye and Harley Quinn take their jobs as official taste testers very seriously and offer their stamp of approval on every batch of treats that leave our kitchen. 

While our true mission is to curate fun, high quality, healthy treats for dogs, it is also important that we take care of the community that we love.  We are happy to partner with organizations that are doing good things by helping them raise money through the sale of our treats.   I love being able use something that I am so passionate about to help those organizations! 

We hope you enjoy!
