Healthy food stores are not just for people.
At Bark Avenue Market and Bakery in Colleyville, co-owners Tammy and John Doak said they and their staff strive to provide top-rated, healthy options for their feline and canine clientele.
“You could eat processed food every day,” Tammy said. “You would survive but you probably wouldn’t thrive, and that’s how it is with dogs. You could give them a bowl of processed kibble every day and they’re going to live, but if you want a dog [to be healthy, providing them with unprocessed food] is really vital; give them what they were meant to eat.”
The shop, which was Tammy’s dream for years, has been around since 2010. All of the food the store offers is produced either in the U.S. or in Canada, and the Doaks use the ratings on two websites—dogfoodanalysis.com and dogfoodadvisor.com—to assess which foods they want to offer.
