A dog bakery is a business that produces fresh baked goods for dogs. According to Retailwire¹, there is a trend among US consumers to humanize and indulge their pets. This indulgence is also partly fueled by the trend to purchase natural and organic products. These trends are mostly responsible for the emergence of dog bakeries around the country.

The first dog bakery,Famous Fido, opened in 1979 on Chicago Illinois' north side. Since then, dog bakeries have sprung up all across the United States. The main purpose of dog bakeries is to create natural, healthy treats and foods for dogs. Often store bought treats are laden with sugar, preservatives, and chemicals.

Many dog bakeries carry specialty pastries and treats especially for dogs with allergies, dietary needs, or bad breath.
