USTYLE: Hey Lady, welcome to USTYLE Magazine. Can you introduce yourself?
TIFFANY: Good day, My name is Tiffany Boyd the owner of Barbie’s Doggie Bakery, LLC. Some say The Dog Whisper!
USTYLE: I think it is such a great business idea with so many people becoming pet owners now especially since this whole pandemic not to mention all about natural products and foods. What inspired you to open Barbie’s Doggie Bakery, LLC and when?
TIFFANY: I was inspired to open Barbie’s Doggie Bakery,LLC while working at a veterinary hospital. I notice that all the canine/feline treats was only dental treats to protect from plaque/tarter. April 1, 2012, I decided to open my very own all natural no preservatives doggie bakery.
USTYLE: I understand you worked in a veterinarian office, was that your first encounter into the pet world?
TIFFANY: I’ve always had dogs growing up as a little girl and I love animals. I applied at a local animal hospital and obtained years of experience with animals.
USTYLE: Now I know you have a passion for cooking. Was the transition hard from cooking for human to pets?
TIFFANY: No. The transition wasn’t hard because I still cook for humans and animals. Cooking for pets is actually easier than cooking for humans. I find it less expensive and more healthier cooking for animals.
USTYLE: What are some of the treats you offer?
TIFFANY: Barbie’s Doggie Bakery,LLC offer a variety of treats with different flavors. We have peanut butter, cheese, apple, strawberry, pumpkin, blueberry, etc.
We also sell Birthday cakes, ice cream, muffins and so much more for your fur babies.
USTYLE: I know your treats are all natural. Why is it so important that we feed our pets healthy and all natural if possible?
TIFFANY: It’s so important to feed your pets healthy all natural treats and food because our fur babies gets older like us humans and start to have healh problems.
USTYLE: What are some harmful ingredients one might find in pet treats that we should definitely stay away from when choosing treats for our pets?
TIFFANY: Toxin harmful ingredients you should not give your pets are chocolate, avocado, cherries, wheat, grapes, and onions.
USTYLE: Now I saw that you also bake my favorite for humans of course, Empanadas for your pet. How in the world do you keep empanadas healthy and all natural for them?
TIFFANY: Ha, Empanadas is all the dog’s favorite treat. My empanadas for pets are healthy because I use organic ingredients. The dough I make only have 4 healthy ingredients and I use organic cheese/ chicken for the filling.
USTYLE: What are some other healthy ingredients that you make sure you incorporate in your treats, like fruits for instance?
TIFFANY: Some of the healthy ingredients I use in my treats are strawberries, blueberries, bananas, cranberry, pumpkin, and so much more.
USTYLE: A person that may want to start a pet bakery is it best to at least know how to bake or cook for that matter?
TIFFANY: Well, It would be nice if you know how to cook or bake. But it’s not necessary asa long as you know how to read and follow directions on a recipe.
USTYLE: What challenges did you face when starting Barbie’s Doggie Bakery and is there anything you would do differently?
TIFFANY: My challenge I had was when I started baking dog treats for the first time. I burnt so many treats. I had to figure out the right oven temperature and how long certain treats suppoe to stay in the oven. Now, I can honestly say I’m a pro.
USTYLE: Do you provide other products and services?
TIFFANY: Yes. Barbie’s Doggie Bakery,LLC also provide pet apparel, toys, and grooming supplies.
USTYLE: Are you a pet owner and if so do you use your pets as the guinea pigs to see what will work and what will not?
TIFFANY: Yes, I am a pet owner. I don’t really use my pets as guinea pigs because they are greedy and most dogs eat anything. Especially when you give them (healthy) food.
USTYLE: If someone wants to start their own pet bakery, where do you suggest they start?
TIFFANY: Anyone who wants to start a pet bakery first need to educate themselves animals and of course get a job ur volunteer at your local veterinarian hospital.
USTYLE: Any plans for expansion?
