The Bark Side | About
Dogs are at the heart of everything we do here on The Bark Side...in fact our boss is a poodle called Brutus. He's the leader of our pack.
Our ethos is simple: we choose the best toys for dogs so you can buy with confidence. We don't take the brands' word for it when they say toys are tough, or fun, etc, Brutus still puts them through his rigorous testing process. If he's not satisfied with the quality, we don't stock it. But if it passes his testing then it's awarded the Approved by Brutus stamp and you can be sure you're getting great quality dog products.
We like to stock dog and puppy toys that are a little different (obviously we also have some dog toys that you'll recognise) so you'll find brands like KONG, Beco, West Paw and Petface. We also have guaranteed ranges for tough chewers (aka almost indestructible dog toys), eco dog toys that are made from recycled or sustainable sources, and IQ toys and dog puzzle toys from Nina Ottosson at Outward Hound.
The Bark Side supplies dog toys and dog treats in the UK. We're based in the Midlands, and we have a stall on Rother Street Market in Stratford upon Avon (a three or four minute walk from Shakespeare's Birthplace) each Saturday. We love to meet our customers (particularly their dogs!) so if you're visiting Stratford, please do come to say hi. We also have some dog toys that aren't available online, so it's always worth popping by.
We're also passionate about preventing dog theft
What does a dog feel after being stolen? Imagine the fear, confusion, maybe hunger, thirst, pain...it's awful to think about. So we've launched a movement to combat dog theft. It's called HOWL and it's completely FREE!
