Pawsitive Profit Interviews Diana Hughes from A Bark Above Dog Bakery - Success Story

In this podcast episode, Kara Brothers from Pawsitive Profit interviews Diana Hughes, the owner of A Bark Above Dog Bakery. Diana started her journey as a way to keep busy while caring for her grandchildren and combined it with her love for baking. Her dog bakery adventure began when she started making specialty dog treats for her bulldog who had allergies. She later brought her treats to markets and was met with great success, turning her passion into a profitable business. Her business expanded to offer a range of treats in different sizes and flavors, including doughnut and waffle shaped treats. The business is set to grow further with plans to launch a website and broaden their reach into new markets.
