OUR STORY
LIMITED INGREDIENTS.
UNLIMITED HEART.
Buff Cake Barkery is a dog treat company based in Nashua, New Hampshire, built on a simple belief: you should know what you are feeding your dog.
We make our treats with simple, limited ingredients and believe in being transparent about what goes into every bag. We choose organic and non GMO options when possible, source locally when we can, and keep our recipes straightforward. Everything is made in fresh batches right here in New Hampshire.
Our treats are shaped, baked, and bagged with intention, with plenty of personality along the way. They are made for dog parents who read ingredient labels, appreciate knowing what is in the bag, and want treats made by a small business that takes both the product and the pups seriously.
MEET THE BUFF CAKE
IT STARTED WITH ZANE.
Before there was a business, there was Zane. Our rescue Staffy came to us as a foster in 2017, and his sensitive stomach made us pay much closer attention to the ingredients in the treats we were buying. That curiosity eventually brought us into the kitchen, where we started experimenting with simpler recipes and ingredients we could actually recognize.
Somewhere along the way, we started baking for more than just Zane. First it was other adopters, then porch drop offs, and eventually a craft fair that changed everything.

BUILT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
We officially launched Buff Cake Barkery in 2021 from our home in Southern New Hampshire. What started with two humans, one opinionated rescue pup, and a whole lot of dough grew into a New Hampshire dog bakery with customers throughout the region and beyond.
Today, Buff Cake can be found online, at farmers markets and community events, and on the shelves of independent retailers across New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Along the way, we’ve earned a 2025 Golden Paw Award, placed in Best of the 603 in 2026, and been featured in The Hippo and HGTV Magazine.
We are proud of the recognition, but some of our favorite feedback is still the simplest: the bag opens and the dogs come running.

BECAUSE ZANE IS A LITTLE BEEFCAKE, OBVIOUSLY.
Buff Cake Barkery is a play on his nickname and a reminder that the dog treat world can have good ingredients without taking itself too seriously. Strong, sensitive, and snack obsessed is a lifestyle around here.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
WHAT'S IN THE BAG MATTERS.
Ingredient transparency
We want you to know what you are feeding your dog, so we keep our recipes straightforward and our ingredient information easy to find.
Simple recipes
We offer thoughtfully made options for pups with different preferences and needs.
Made with intention
Our treats are baked with the kind of hands-on attention that helped build Buff Cake in the first place.
A little personality
Bones, pumpkins, moons, cookies and more. Dog treats do not have to be boring.
GIVING BACK
RESCUE WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF THE STORY.
We care about all dogs, not just the ones who have already found their forever couch. Throughout the year, Buff Cake Barkery supports local rescues and nonprofit organizations through donations, sponsorships, fundraising, and event support.
Giving back to the rescue community that brought Zane into our lives is one of the ways we keep the beginning of this business connected to where it is today.
ROOTED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
NASHUA IS HOME.
Staying connected to our community matters to us. You will find BCB at farmers markets, local events, rescue fundraisers, and retail partners throughout New Hampshire and the surrounding New England area. Our online shop lets us send Buff Cake favorites to pups well beyond our own backyard, too.
Wherever you find us, the goal stays the same: make thoughtfully crafted dog treats, be transparent about what is in them, support the community that supports us, and keep a little humor in the mix.
