Chef Akanksha Arora emerges as a maestro in pet gastronomy, blending culinary expertise with a heartfelt mission. Her tale unfolds within the delightful confines of Barker's Dozen, a pet bakery designed to pamper our four-legged companions with treats that are not just tasty but also health-conscious.
Akanksha's journey into the pet food industry was sparked by a poignant incident—the untimely loss of a pet due to a lack of understanding about pet nutrition. This heart-wrenching experience ignited a profound interest in the well-being of pets, ultimately sowing the seeds for Barker's Dozen. "I wanted to create treats and meals that pets can indulge in without compromising on their health," she shares. Established in 2017, Barker's Dozen is not your average bakery; it's a commitment to crafting treats and cakes that are nutritious, preservative-free, and chemical-free, exclusively for pets. Her awards, industry recognition and customer feedback stand as a testament to the rising success of this culinary venture.
Akanksha's personal journey as a chef converges with her deep affection for animals, and Barker's Dozen effortlessly intertwines these passions. “You don't need a hundred people to believe in you; all you need is to believe in yourself,” she declares. Once a kitchen-born enterprise, Barker's Dozen has since flourished into a more extensive facility. Yet, its core remains grounded in ensuring only the freshest, human-grade ingredients make their way into every pet treat or meal. Each delectable creation undergoes quality checks ensuring that the love infused into every batch is both pet-approved and human-friendly.
Akanksha's team, predominantly composed of passionate women, shares her dedication to delivering products that are not only healthy and nutritious but also affordable. The bakery's evolution, from a humble kitchen to a larger commercial space, mirrors the journey of love reciprocated by loyal clients.
The menu at Barker's Dozen caters to various palates, offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. From personalised cakes, gluten-free tarts with mincemeat filling to irresistible peanut butter treats and pup brownies, every creation is a testament to Akanksha's commitment to addressing pets' allergies and sensitivities.
In Chef Akanksha Arora's enchanting world, Barker's Dozen isn't just a bakery; it's a symphony of flavours, care, and boundless love—a reminder that the path to a pet's heart is indeed through their stomach.
