Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming launched a first-of-its-kind influencer dog treat collection in partnership with three social-media-famous dogs: @tikatheiggy, @akirablackpit and @dexterthebalancingdog. Each treat was created to reflect the unique personality, favorite flavors and online persona of each superstar dog, and true to Woof Gang's signature style, the treats are crafted in the United States with premium, all-natural ingredients.
Iconic Bites by @tikatheiggy take the form of turkey treats for style-conscious pups, Tippy Tap Snacks by @akirablackpit are duck bites to inspire a happy dance, and Stacked ‘n Snacked by @dexterthebalancingdog combines chicken and sweet potato to pay tribute to "the king of balance." Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, describes them as "more than just treats, they’re stories told through flavor."
