We have some incredibly exciting news to share.

Bark with Buster's Kangaroo Dental Chews have been named Dog Dental Treat Product of the Year in the 2026 Pet Innovation Awards.

The win has now been officially announced, with Bark with Buster listed as the 2026 Dog Dental Treat Product of the Year on the Pet Innovation Awards winners page.

This recognition means so much to us because it celebrates a product that represents everything Bark with Buster stands for: natural ingredients, Australian quality, practical benefits and treats that dogs genuinely enjoy.

The Pet Innovation Awards received nominations from companies across the global pet industry. To have our Australian small business and one of our natural dog treats recognised alongside innovators from around the world is something Jeannene and Reza are immensely proud of.

A Simple Australian Treat With a Big Purpose

Our award winning Kangaroo Dental Chews are made from one ingredient: 100% Australian kangaroo.

There are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. There are no grains, fillers or hidden ingredients. The kangaroo is carefully air dehydrated in Australia to create a firm, chewy texture that encourages dogs to chew rather than simply swallow their treat.

As dogs chew, the natural texture creates a mechanical scraping action against the surface of their teeth. This may help reduce the everyday build up of plaque while also supporting natural chewing behaviour and providing satisfying enrichment.

It is a refreshingly simple approach to dog treats.

No mint flavouring. No complicated ingredient list. No unnecessary chemicals. Just a natural Australian chew made with dogs in mind.

Why We Chose Kangaroo

Kangaroo is one of Australia's most distinctive natural proteins. It is naturally lean, rich in nutrients and often chosen by owners looking for an alternative to common proteins such as chicken and beef.

Because our Dental Chews contain only kangaroo, owners can see exactly what they are giving their dog. This makes them a useful option for many dogs following a simple or carefully managed diet.

Every dog is different, so owners of dogs with diagnosed allergies or health conditions should always seek advice from their veterinarian.

Created From More Than Ten Years of Caring for Dogs

Bark with Buster was not created in a corporate boardroom.

It grew from more than ten years of caring for dogs through Pet Stays Melbourne. During that time, Jeannene and Reza have cared for dogs of different ages, breeds, personalities and dietary needs.

That hands on experience continues to shape every Bark with Buster product decision.

We look for treats that are honest, practical and enjoyable. We want dog owners to understand what they are buying and feel confident about what is inside the packet.

Our Kangaroo Dental Chews reflect that philosophy beautifully. They combine a single Australian ingredient with natural chewing enrichment in a treat dogs become genuinely excited to receive.

What the Pet Innovation Award Means to Us

The Pet Innovation Awards recognise products and businesses helping move the international pet industry forward.

Bark with Buster is now officially listed among the 2026 Pet Innovation Award winners, receiving Dog Dental Treat Product of the Year for our Kangaroo Dental Chews.

Seeing our Bark with Buster name displayed alongside established pet brands from around the world was a very proud moment for us. As a small Australian business built from more than ten years of hands on dog care, this recognition confirms that simple, natural products can stand confidently on an international stage.

Innovation does not always mean adding more ingredients or making products more complicated. For us, it means removing what dogs do not need and choosing one quality Australian ingredient that offers a genuine purpose.

How to Give Your Dog a Kangaroo Dental Chew

We recommend offering a Kangaroo Dental Chew two or three times each week, depending on your dog's size, chewing style and overall diet.

Always supervise your dog while chewing, select an appropriately sized treat and ensure fresh water is available. Remove any small pieces that could present a swallowing risk.

Natural dental chews can form part of your dog's broader dental care routine, but they do not replace regular veterinary dental checks or professional advice.

Thank You for Supporting an Australian Small Business

Awards are wonderful, but the greatest recognition continues to come from the dogs who wait by the cupboard and the customers who return because they trust what we make.

Every order, market visit, review, recommendation and kind message has helped Bark with Buster grow.

Thank you for supporting our Australian owned business and believing, as we do, that dog treats can be natural, purposeful and made with integrity.

We are incredibly proud to bring this global recognition home to Australia and even prouder that it was earned by one of the simplest products in our range.

One ingredient. One very happy dog. And now, one very special award.
