About Bark By Smudge

Many of us are guilty of loving our dog a little too much when it comes to food. I, myself am very guilty of it. I already consistently make homemade cookies for friends and family. Why not make homemade dog treats. I decided to create Bark by Smudge which provides an organic, natural product that's fun, creative and also provides health benefits.

These treats offer many health benefits, a guilt-free treat for your furry friend.

With a passion for baking, pets and health -

we began in March 2025.

Our story

We are an all natural, organic dog treat company based in Ottawa, Ontario.

We offer numerous dog-friendly treats including a variety of cookies and biscuits, cakes, doughnuts and much more. We only use organic, all natural, whole-some ingredients. Many of our products are gluten and dairy free. Made with minimal ingredients, these are perfect for pets with allergies.

I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. I’m the proud dog parent to Smudge — the inspiration behind everything we do. Smudge was diagnosed with a rare disease and will have a longer, better quality of life if he were to lose weight. After years of wanting to begin a business centred around pets, I chose to blend my two hobbies; Smudge and baking.

I decided to create treats that are as wholesome, natural, and as healthy as possible. Every Bark by Smudge product is packed with nutrients and vitamins, ensuring these are a treat for your dog with lasting benefits,

Every ingredient is researched and confirmed to be dog-friendly.

These treats can be given guilt-free as they contain wholesome ingredients which offer many health benefits for your dog.

All items are freshly baked, and made to order.
