Our festival treat selection

Our festival announcement featured our beef liver, chicken jerky and kangaroo jerky treats. You can explore these products online and check their ingredients and feeding guidance.

Whether you are a long-time customer or finding us for the first time, we would love to help you choose something for your dog.

Why choose natural dog treats?

We believe choosing treats should be simple. Bark with Buster's single-ingredient treats let you see exactly what you are giving your dog, without a long list of mystery ingredients.

Read Why Single Ingredient Dog Treats Matter for more about checking ingredient lists and choosing treats.

Our air dehydrated treats offer a straightforward way to reward your dog during training or make everyday moments a little more special. Explore the options online to find a treat that suits your dog's preferences.

What is our exciting awards news?

Bark with Buster has been named a finalist in the Health Improvement Product category at the 2026 Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards.

This recognition means so much to us. We started Bark with Buster because we believed dogs deserved simpler ingredients, and having that work acknowledged is a milestone worth celebrating.

Thank you to our customers, the awards team and the sponsors for supporting small businesses like ours.

Introducing Pet Spice

Our festival announcement introduced the official launch of Pet Spice, a natural flavour topper you sprinkle over your dog's existing food.

After developing the range and selling small batches at local markets in clear pouches, our announcement introduced new canister packaging designed to make sprinkling and storing it easy.
