Hey! My name is Nicole and I am the owner and baker of Laker’s Barkery. All treats are locally handmade in Winter Haven, FL. The inspiration of Laker’s Barkery all started from becoming a new dog mom to Laker at the young age of 8 weeks old.

 

Laker was the most unique dog and will always be my soul dog. We lost Laker in January 2025 after 13 years of learning and growing up together. Laker’s story was rare and will always be an inspiration to me to never give up.

 

Laker was diagnosed around 6 months old with seizures, nystagmus, and anxiety. From that moment on, I advocated for his health and made the commitment to give him the best life I possibly could. 

 

There was a point when Laker was around 2-3 years old that I realized that there were multiple treats being recalled for harming people’s pets. I started to dig into some research of what kinds of foods would be safe for dogs. After that moment, that’s where the fun started! I started tweaking recipes and finding what would be the healthiest treat possible for our dogs. With a lot of trial and error, I feel that I have finally created treats that I feel passionate about that DO NOT contain any preservatives. Any treats that you see available in our store today will contain a fruit or vegetable (sometimes both), eggs, and gluten free flour. 

 

Since Laker’s Barkery has been created, we have added several new members to the crew. Roxy and King followed suit and became very loyal to the business and are always down to taste any new flavor.

 

If you’re local and you catch us at an event, you may get to meet Roxy, King, and our newest dude, Topper! 

 

Pease follow along on our social media accounts (Facebook & Instagram) as we post our pop-up event schedule and fun content of the pups! Thanks for stopping by and please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

 

Xx,

Nicole, Roxy, King, and Topper
