Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 85 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products, especially the cakes and treats, highlighting their quality and the enjoyment their pets get from them. Many appreciate the quick and efficient delivery service, noting that items arrive well-packaged and on time, often exceeding expectations. Reviewers also find the ordering process easy and straightforward, with a good range of dog-friendly treats available for various occasions. However, some customers also noted issues with product consistency, mentioning that some cakes were hard or dry, making them difficult for their dogs to eat or for candles to be inserted. There were also occasional concerns about packaging, with some items arriving broken or in bashed-up boxes, and a few instances of delivery problems where parcels were not delivered directly to the door. Additionally, a few people expressed dissatisfaction with an air freshener included in their package, which affected the smell of the dog food.

Quick and cute

Quick delivery and cute designs on the goods, and even though my old picky dog didn't like them, his doggo buddies did 😊

Gave my dog the shits!

Gave my dog a cupcake from Barking Bakery for her birthday. Gave her the shits. Whole garden & hallway covered in poo. Do not give to your dog. Happened to my brother's dog too. Same treat.

Fist time

It's my first time getting a birthday cake for my husky rocky. It's his 7th birthday on the 23rd of May so I thought I would treat him he really wants it now lol he knows it's just for him. But I would order one again next year. I have 2 cats and they really want it.

Absolutely wonderful cake.

Absolutely wonderful cake.
I ordered a cake with my dogs face on it and what I got was perfect.
It arrived very quickly, I was genuinely surprised when it came.
My dog Absolutely loved her cake and her wee cupcakes that I ordered 2.
I will definitely be buying my dogs cake from this bakery again.
I also ordered the wrong popcorn and they contacted me before shipping to check that thats what I wanted which obv I didn't so they changed it to the correct 1 with no issue.
Thank you so much.

Dog birthday cake

I ordered a birthday cake for our pooch too late for a usual on-time delivery, but they still made it happen for it to arrive on her birthday! Very happy about this effort 👍🏻

Beautiful cake

Beautiful cake, well made, well designed and (I assume, by the very few crumbs left), absolutely delicious! Very nicely packaged and a nice touch to include a couple of extra bone biscuits in case any get broken in transit! Plenty of icing in the included pen to add personalised decoration also! Very happy dog and very happy owner! Thank you!
