ARF! Barking Fresh!

ARF! Barking Fresh! is nutritious, grain free, fresh baked love for your pup, made from super foods Now we make cakes and treats.

Our goal from the start: Make treats from nutritious, organic & grain-free ingredients any pet owner would be happy to share with their dogs' of any age or health. With advice from vets and from pet nutritionists we took to our kitchen and started baking. We spent months testing and finessing until everything was A.R.F! Our Product: Festive Cakes
Our Thought: Why make blah from wonderful food when

we could celebrate it and you could have fun sharing it with your furry, faithful, best friend. We're always learning more about great nutritious ingredients and exploring ways you and your dog can enjoy them together. We believe zero-grain should mean canine fun!

My facebook was recently hacked. I was able to secure it when I found out the next evening. Nothing seemed to have been done with this account. But yesterday I was told some posts had been altered and followers may have been contacted. There was no message trail and my posts all read the way I remember them. I don't think hackers clean up their mess, but, who knows. I felt I should say something in case. Thank you for following ARF! Barking Fresh!

A special cake for Axl Rose the therapy dog at my local hospital. They requested a Guns-n-Roses themed cake. I thought “Appetite for Destruction” would be an appropriate album to build from. ;-)

I was just asked to show someone a few cakes and I realized this cake was missing from my feed!! No idea where it went! Here’s to trying again!
This cake came about when I was asked to make a cake like one in a magazine. To make the palm trees, which were plastic on the original, and the sign, which was fondant, I sliced and dried the pith of a coconut and carved each piece by hand. Sounds tedious but no more so than messing with fondant and gum paste and the end result was natural and dog friendly.
This was one of my favorite cakes.

Right after I made my Christmas Eve post, I told my mom I posted a pic of her tree. She panicked saying, “But the bows aren’t on the tree, I put your bows on every year! They make the tree!”. I like the tree either way, and the clarify, I had the bows made in 1992 at a local florist. They are still in perfect condition, and I guess if one is a bows on the Christmas tree person, then the bows do make a big difference. I like that almost every ornament has meaning to my parents or someone in our family and altogether on the tree everything looks how I think a classic Christmas tree should. I think of Christmas carols and get sentimental about my childhood, etc. So, here’s to bows or not on ones’s Christmas tree. And now most importantly my mom will be happy that people on instagram saw her tree how she likes it! Merry Christmas again! ;)

Christmas ‘24 at mom and dad’s. Their tree is full of every kind of ornament bought or received throughout their 57 years together, especially the blown glass kind, the ones me and my brothers didn’t paint so well in the first grade, the special ones that mom bought when she thought me and my brothers were old enough not to break them, then found out she should have waited, and managed to save a few intact, that ornament you look at and say, “what the heck is this?”, and so many more.

My first Bark mitzvah cake! I don’t know how it took this long. In an interesting twist this Autumn is also 13 years since I made my first Barkday cake for a customer.
Happy Bark Mitzvah Max!

I wanted to be true to the original with a stamped cookie look but visually it needed the white piping. So, I wrote as if I it was the real vanilla cream filling.

My Mom and Dad’s 56th wedding anniversary! She gave me the “Look”! I interrupted dessert! 🤣 She lost 40 lbs between 2020 and 21. Bad Med combo and more. Meds changed and she has gained 20 lbs since July. Now just hoping her kidney function continues to improve as she gets her strength back.

Our Story

From the start, the A.R.F! Barking Fresh! mission: Make great dog treats from nutritious & grain-free ingredients, a dog goodie, any pet owner would be happy to share with their dogs of any age or health.

The Thought: Why make another wheat and sugar (what are honey, maple syrup and molasses?) laced dog treat? Take out the grain, the gluten and the sugar...

The Journey: Taking into consideration the traditional advice from vets and advanced information from pet nutritionists ABF! decided to go further and leave out the meat (that’s your department) and put in high value, nutrient & antioxidant dense super foods, before taking to the kitchen. Months of testing and finessing ensued until everything was A.R.F! Barking Fresh!

The Product: Festive super food based cakes & treats for dogs, that look tasty to us and are even tastier, than they look, to our pups.
