Busters Biscuits

Our story began with a dog who only liked his family. Buster born 27th August 2008 met his owner by pure luck.

Buster & Amber spent 10 years causing mischief together and Buster was spoilt rotten. Buster didn't like dog food/treats so was given a variet

While I’m in the midst of packing up my house I thought I’d reintroduce you to the dogs of Buster’s Biscuits

Buster: though he’s flown to the rainbow bridge 🌈, he’s still part of the crew. He’s the reason we exist. A Jack Russell with a bad attitude but a caring heart! My first born pup 🧡

Stevie: a heart break healer with a Mariah Carey aura! She also has ten children and is enjoying her down time. Big fan of chewing sticks!

Beau: a border collie with zero brain cells but that’s why we love him. He can’t fetch to save his life but tennis balls are his favourite!

Toast (Stevie’s son): If there’s a butt to be sniffed then he’s there (basically must say hello to every dog he meets). Very affectionate and loves food a lot!

Once this move is out of the way we can get back to tasting some treats!
We’ve now got three tasters to make sure your treats are extra tasty!

Time has flown by yet again…
Toast turned one on the weekend so that’s a clear indication of how long it’s been!
I also have more news, I’m moving back to Bristol after almost two years in Manchester. There’s been lots of reasons but one of them is I haven’t had any success starting Busters Biscuits again.
This due to supply issues, time, my work and generally having the space.
Once I’m settled again I’m 10000% committed to relaunching.
It’s been a sweet while but bear with and I’ll be back before you know it!

Even though I’ve not been able to kick start Busters Biscuits I’ve been extremely busy. I’ve fallen head over heals in love with Toast.
Toast is Stevie’s son (my other dog), he had quite the entrance into the world. Last of his litter born two and half hours after his siblings and Stevie was so exhausted I had to break the sack and help his entrance into the world. Was it love at first sight? YES!
This dog has filled a void and I even gave him Busters collar… I think that’s solid proof.
He’s become my best friend in the short 10 months he’s been alive and I’d be lost without him. I find him every morning cuddled up beside me, every time I’ve cried he’s there licking away the tears and honestly I’m in love. In no way is he a Buster replacement but he’s like an extra limb.
It’s his birthday on the 9th April and I’ve decided to take the whole pack away to celebrate. I don’t feel like I ever formally introduced you to this wonderful little lad but I hope this sums it up!

Sorry for the radio silence, to be honest I’ve been feeling quite frustrated. I was planning to open a couple of weeks ago but got let down with my supplier yet again.
I spent so long prepping for the big launch and fell at the last hurdle.
BUT
I’m not giving up, I took so time to cuddle the gang and made some new memories. I’m off on a little holiday to decompress and then I’ll be back to it.
Sometimes you got to think like a dog, because I’ve never seen a dog dwell on a mistake, they just pick themselves and start again!

04/01/2022

Hello we hope you had a great new year!
Sadly due to some supply chain issues we can’t launch this Sunday! But don’t you worry we’ve pencilled in a date for the next few weeks.

24/12/2021

Wishing you all Merry Christmas!
Here’s the taster team out on their Christmas Eve walk!
See you in 2022!

17/12/2021

Happy Friday!
Your friendly reminder, we are coming back 8th January!

03/12/2021

I don’t know about you but sometimes I just look at my dogs and I’m just like thank you for being mine. It was actually my last words to Buster before he crossed the rainbow bridge 🐶🌈.
I loved him more than I can describe in one Instagram post, which is why I cannot wait to get back to making treats again and sharing the Busters Biscuits love again! 🧡

02/12/2021

When I had to go on hiatus I decided it was time to give Buster’s Biscuits a re brand. Why? Because back in 2018 when I was making dog treats in my little kitchen because it took my mind off crying it was all about Buster. He was and will always be why we exist but then we launched so many of your dogs loved our treats, it wasn’t just about my Buster anymore but your dogs as well. What started as a way to cure the heartbreak had turned into something that brought you and dogs closer.
So I decided that we need to represent you guys as well!
You can share Busters Biscuits with us now and I can’t wait for the next chapter!

01/12/2021

I’ve got a launch day for you all… 8th January I will be opening the Busters Biscuits doors again! New year, new packaging but still delivering your tasty Goat Bits & Bobs.

25/11/2021

Do you recognise this handsome fella?
Buster is the sole reason we exist, a Jack Russell with an attitude problem but also a true gem. Even after three years I do not go a day without thinking about him, especially since I paused Busters Biscuits. Not to worry because I’m going to be coming back! January 2022! See you soon!

11/11/2021

Things are changing at Busters Biscuits!
It started as a way to mend my broken heart over losing Buster and after the huge success we had I realised it wasn’t just about him but about all the dogs who loved our treats!
So we are coming back with a bit of a rebrand!
More news coming soon!
P.s A massive shout out to .makes , they’ve done such an amazing job with our new packaging!

31/10/2021

Happy Sunday from the Busters Biscuits pack!

29/10/2021

The one of very few photos of me and the gang where I don’t look like a crazy dog mum!

I’m picking up bits of Busters Biscuits but the first bit is brand new packaging which I started earlier on in the year. Then I’m going to get the ball rolling on finding some new stock.
I’m going also looking into stocking some extra bits on our website once it’s all set up, so if you know any nice brands please let me know!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Today is !
I don’t know about you but I’ve definitely faced a lot of stigma about mental health.
I try to be as transparent as I can on Busters Biscuits regarding my mental health. A lot of my adult life has consisted of me trying to figure out what was wrong with my brain, sweeping it under the carpet and saying I was fine when I wasn’t. When I lost Buster I finally crashed and pretty much had a mental breakdown. I lost the one thing that kept me functioning all that time and really what was the point in carrying on when I didn’t have him. Luckily I knew what I needed and got Stevie pretty much straight away, she gave me a reason to get up everyday and help me recover.
I’m not a robot so I still get days when I find it hard to function and not let bad thoughts take over. I know lockdown is definitely effecting everyone right now but I’d just like to put an olive branch out there that if your ever struggling, I’m more than happy to listen.
Stay safe guys 🧡

I had a message from someone last week who’d just lost their dog and asked me for advice on coping. I don’t in anyway count myself as an expert in pet grief but I’ve always said I will listen.
People who’ve never owned a dog will never understand the bound, memories and love you build together. I personally believe that your friendship with your dog is better than any human friendship.
•Dogs will never judge, betray or hurt you. •Dogs will always have your back regardless
•Dogs don’t care if your rich or poor, what you look like or your gender/sexuality.
Who can count a human that encompasses all of those things? I can’t...
What I loved most about Buster is how when I felt like a complete failure he still loved me and I’d always feel better when he was by my side. Buster saw me from a teenager to an adult, he stayed by my side and watched over me as I figured out the world. Losing him royally sucked but I try to tell myself that he made me into this person I am now. This person who’s finally trying to figure out and no longer scared or drowning my sorrows. He may of been here a short time but he really did mould me into the woman I am today.

I recently discovered I wasn’t the first person in my family to own a Jack Russell. This is my great great grandparents with their JR. We reckon this is round about 1940? I managed to find a lot of photos of them with their dog and it looked like they really loved him.

23/01/2021

Even though Stevie and Buster never met/were related I always feel like she’s the most like him. She has all the parts of Buster that are sweet and needy. I swore I’d never get a girl dog but I’m quite in love with this one. It’s been a long road of feeling guilty for choosing to love something other than Buster. I always felt like I was forgetting his memory by giving them more than I gave him. I know now that’s silly, having dogs is a constant learning experience and your probably going to have an individual relationship with every dog you own. Basically I love this little nugget (and Beau)!

20/01/2021

How it started vs how’s it going!
I promise you treats are returning soon!

13/01/2021

Before Buster was sick we had a pretty great summer. I was taking him out for some great adventures and treating him like a king. There were days when I’d just turn to him and say ‘let’s go out for lunch’. I’d always share my lunch with him and purposely order chicken because that was his favourite. He’d stare at me just like this waiting patiently for me to hand him some.
It’s hard not focus on Buster when he was ill but sometimes I’ll remember the good times we had. For instance I found a spider in my house today and I knew Buster would of sorted it out for me (Stevie and Beau are terrible spider killers). I miss him so much especially since everything seems gloomy right now, I think we are all tired of this and we are feeling pretty delicate right now. I try and take comfort in that this feeling is temporary and we have got our dogs to help us through it. Look after yourselves guys!

09/01/2021

Since moving to Manchester I’ve had at least five times when I’ve felt like this was a bad idea. I did move in the middle of a pandemic and sometimes I forget about that. I also tend to forget that I have two dogs who like to make sure I’m always ok. Things are pretty rough right now but I’m not sure I could of done it without my canine companions. I hope you all have great adventures with your dogs this weekend, stay safe and remember this is only temporary 🧡

06/01/2021

I’m a bit late to the news about Lockdown 3.0 but I just wanted you to know if your struggling and just want to chat my messages are always open. I’m still working out bringing Busters Biscuits back and I’m determined to get the doors open by February at the latest! We miss you all to much!

31/12/2020

It’s the end of 2020, you and your dogs made it! I don’t know about you but I don’t think I would of done it without my dogs. It’s been pretty rough for everyone and having a canine companion has definitely helped me get out the house, put clothes on and live some kinda of normal life. I’m going to be bringing Busters Biscuits back in 2021 and that’s really all I’m wishing for! We’ve missed you all and can’t wait to get back to business!
Happy new year to you and your dogs! (I hope the fireworks don’t scare them to much) ❤️🧡❤️

29/12/2020

Happy snow day everyone and I hope all your dogs enjoyed it as much as Stevie did!

25/12/2020

Merry Christmas to all the wonderful dog parents out there!
When I was a kid I’d have a puppy on the top of my Christmas lift every year, every year I was left heartbroken without one. I always knew I was a dog person, my parents bought me other pets to stop my nagging but I couldn’t settle for nothing without a dog. I feel so damn lucky that in my 27 years I’ve had three wonderful dogs, though deep down I wish one was still around for cuddles. Some people were born to be astronauts but I was definitely born to be a dog owner. I see it as my daily achievement when my dogs are happy and healthy! This Christmas/year has definitely made me appreciate my dogs and even in the crazy times we are currently in that your dog will always have your back!

24/12/2020

Merry Christmas everyone! Things are strange but I really hope you get to spend it as merry as you can! Lots of love Amber, Stevie and Beau! 🎄❤️🎄

18/12/2020

It’s this time of the year when I start reflecting on my year. On record 2018 might have been my worst, maybe there wasn’t a global pandemic but personally I had lots of traumatic experiences. 2019 was pretty great cause I finally started Busters Biscuits and some people would call you customers but I count more as friends! You’ve been a constant support, virtually dried my tears and helped me believe in myself. 2020 well that’s been a rollercoaster, not just for me but everyone. I think we can all agree that we are quite glad 2020 is almost over. I hope that you get to spend Christmas happy and cuddled up to your dogs. I hope that 2021 brings you a lot more happiness than this year.
I can’t complain about my 2020 because Stevie had her puppies and I’ve managed to see pictures of them happy in the new homes and I finally moved to Manchester after almost 3 years of saying I would. Generally I think this whole pandemic has tested us like a fly in the your room when your trying to sleep but I’ve got to say there has definitely been some highlights of this year.
Happy Friday and I hope you all have a great weekend! 🧡❤️

I had a sudden shock when I realised this is my third Christmas without Buster. Time definitely flys when your making dog treats! I can’t say Christmas has much significance to me and him, I never had much money to buy him lavish gifts or spoil him. He was quite happy with a pigs ear that he’d bury in the garden and be shocked when he found a fox had stolen it. Though the Christmas period is so much nicer when you’ve got a dog around. If he was around now I’d buy him lots of squeaky toys and enough pigs ears to feed a whole family of foxes. What are your dogs looking forward to getting this Christmas?

15/12/2020

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about Buster, grief has it’s way of wandering in & out of your life. Part of me always felt that getting another dog would cure the sadness and partly it has. The fact I’m not making treats currently has definitely contributed to this feeling as well. Sometimes particular memories will come into my head, I’ll smile and then feel sad because it was with Buster. Over the last year or so I’ve tried really hard to let myself feel the sadness and remember that these were good memories and the sadness is just me missing him. I never really understood grief till I lost him and now I almost wear it on my sleeve.
Not matter what I’ll make sure Busters Biscuits returns with a bang and I’ll be able to keep making Mr Buster proud.

25/11/2020

You may have seen from our story that we might be opening up again next week!
It’s excellent news and I’m so happy to be back doing what I love.
Times are tough though and I’m going to be juggling BB’s and a brand new job back in Marketing (what I originally did before Busters Biscuits). I’m going to be operating things a bit differently to ensure I have time to get your orders out and you get your orders within 7 days. So you might see Sold Outs a lot but I’ll do restock every couple of days.
I can’t wait to see your dogs with our treats again!!!
Have a wonderful week, weekend and I can’t wait to be back with you all again 🧡
