Background

Over 70% of households reported having a dog in 2021, and millennials are now the largest group of pet parents in the USA. 85% of those households consider their dog to be part of the family, and they're certainly treating them that way.

In a booming pet industry, one that grew by 13.6% to $123 Billion from 2020 to 2021, humanization of pets is one of the top trends. Three Dog Bakery has made it their commitment to keep up with that trend. They are committed to providing pet parents with the very best products in the marketplace for dogs through their own products, and the curated selection they've elected to carry.

Most importantly, it's the joy of celebration with pet parents and their furry friends on their birthdays, graduation days, holidays or just because it's Wednesday. Three Dog Bakery is the ultimate Celebration Destination, and it's become just that: a destination.

Dogs drag their pet parents around the block to get to the door to be greeted by dog lovers who are ready to spoil. With trendy, new pastry case creations being innovated daily, there is always something new to try and reasons for customers to come back!
