Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 86 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products, highlighting their quality and how much their dogs enjoy them for various occasions. The ordering process is described as easy and straightforward, with a good range of treats available. Reviewers frequently mention the exceptionally fast delivery and well-packaged items, ensuring products arrive safely and in excellent condition.

Cake rock hard, dig wouldn’t eat it

Purchased an Iced Woofin cake for my dogs birthday, it was a special celebration as he survived spinal surgery and we didn’t think he’d be here for his birthday. Cake was so hard, difficult to break apart and icing was solid and my dog couldn’t break it, he wouldn’t eat it ( and he normally eats anything). Complained to Barking Bakery and still waiting 3 days later for any response. Really disappointed and poor customer service 😡

Why would you put an air freshener in with food!

Air freshener in with the dog food for me a big no no, made everything smell off. The cheesy popcorn that is usually very pungent in it's cheese aroma just smells like the air freshener. Also please update your website to separate the hen popcorn out of the section labelled pupcorn, garlic is poisonous to dogs and is just not worth the risk.

Dog loved the cake but the presentation…

Dog loved the cake but the presentation of the new packing isnt to be desired, the box arrived all bashed up the cakes no longer fitted in the box, nor did it close. As a new customer to Barking Bakery to be honest I really wasn't impressed, sustainable packaging or not. They offered a 20% but I would rather unsmashed up packaging as I didn't need to order anymore cakes. As a gift to our dog it wasn't very good and embarrassing taking this bashed up box to her birthday party! I felt it didn't show a great representation of Barking Bakery

When good perfect but too many are dry

I used to get the cakes but 3 in a row were really dry. Switched to donuts and cupcakes but mixed bag this time. Large carob cupcake was perfect, little cupcakes slightly dry, doughnuts so so. Decided it's just so hit and miss so won't order again regrettably.

we’re really sorry to hear that some of your recent bakes haven’t been as consistent as they should be. We always want every treat to be enjoyed to the fullest, so it’s disappointing to know we’ve let you down. We truly appreciate you giving us several tries, and we’ll make sure to pass this on to our bakers so we can improve. If you ever do decide to give us another chance in the future, we’d love to make it up to you.
