Archived market announcement: This article records the Cowrie Torquay Market 2025/2026 season. The dates below have passed and are retained for reference, not as confirmation of upcoming Bark with Buster appearances. Check the market organiser’s website for current event information.

Our original announcement celebrated Bark with Buster returning to Cowrie Torquay Market for the 2025/2026 season, bringing Australian-made dog treats to the Surf Coast’s seaside market.
Run by dedicated volunteers, the market brings together community stalls, live music, local artisans and food. It offers a coastal outing and a chance to meet the people behind local businesses.
For those looking for natural dog treats in Australia today, you can explore the Bark with Buster retail range online. Check each listing for its ingredients, pack sizes and feeding guidance rather than assuming every format suits every dog.

Eight reasons we love connecting at markets
1. Sample before you buy
Our original stall announcement invited dogs to sample treats. For current online examples, compare Roo Crisps and Kangaroo Liver. Sampling availability at future events needs confirmation.
2. Meet the people behind the business
Markets offer a chance to chat with founders Jeannene and Reza about the range and your dog’s preferences. Dietary conditions and suspected allergies need advice from your vet.
3. Support Australian businesses
Choosing locally made products can reflect your preference for supporting Australian businesses. Read our five reasons to choose Australian-made dog treats, and check each product’s sourcing information.
4. Share real feedback
Conversations with customers help us understand individual dogs’ tastes and preferred textures. A dog enjoying a sample is not proof of allergy suitability or a guaranteed training result.
5. Enjoy the Surf Coast
Ocean breezes, new smells and coastal scenery make Torquay a memorable destination. Check current organiser rules before planning an outing with your dog.
6. Explore local stalls
Community markets bring together artisan foods, crafts and small businesses. The stall mix varies by event.
7. Enjoy music and scenic views
The Torquay coastline provides a beautiful setting. Check the organiser’s current programme for entertainment and event updates.
8. Connect with Bark with Buster
Our original announcement also introduced the Treat Hustlers Club and wholesale programme. If you are interested in either, contact Bark with Buster to confirm current application details.
Choosing treats beyond the market stall
Market conversations and customer feedback help us ask practical questions about ingredients, textures and pack sizes. They are not clinical testing and cannot establish that a treat is suitable for every breed, age or dietary sensitivity.
When comparing treats, read the actual ingredient list, origin information, feeding guidance and storage instructions. Avoid assuming that all supermarket or imported products share the same recipe or quality.
| Product check | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Ingredients | The full ingredient list and any restrictions your vet has advised. |
| Origin | The particular manufacturing and sourcing statements. |
| Texture and size | Firmness, dimensions and suitable portions for your individual dog. |
| Pack and storage | Pack weight, realistic use and the product’s handling instructions. |
Our single-ingredient dog treats guide explains ingredient-list checks, while our dog treat storage guide covers practical handling considerations.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Browse our natural dog treats collection for current products, pack sizes and availability.

Contact Bark with Buster to confirm current programme availability and application details.
