The launch marks a major milestone in Bark Bistro’s evolution from a kitchen-based startup to a national pet-treat leader in clean dog treats. With 68 million dog-owning households in the U.S. and the pet food industry projected to reach $500 billion by 2030, the Sprouts rollout places Bark Bistro’s premium pet wellness products directly where shoppers are already looking for better-for-you options.

“Our founding commitment was to give dogs treats that were worthy of their place at the table,” said Tamara Coleman, founder and CEO of Bark Bistro. “Sprouts’ dedication to natural, better-for-you products aligns perfectly with our mission to make safe and clean pet wellness accessible to every dog parent. It also underscores the growing demand for higher-quality pet nutrition and validates the gap we recognized since day one. A gap we are proud to be filling.”

Since launching in 2019, Buddy Budder created a new category in the pet-treat aisle defined by clean ingredients and human-grade standards. What began as homemade jars became an Amazon bestseller within weeks, highlighting strong demand for better-for-your-dog alternatives. The brand’s squeeze packs accelerated growth and helped it become a multimillion-dollar enterprise.

Buddy Budder contains no hydrogenated oils, palm oil, artificial sugars, salts, or toxic sugar substitutes found in many traditional pet products. Bark Bistro’s 25,000-square-foot manufacturing facility allows the company to control sourcing, production, and distribution—ensuring every jar meets the highest standards for quality and canine well-being.

In addition to Sprouts and more than 15,000 existing retail partners, including Amazon, Chewy, and Thrive Market, Bark Bistro will also roll out in The Fresh Market and Mother’s Market & Kitchen. These partnerships expand the brand’s reach across retailers trusted by dog parents who prioritize clean ingredients and premium pet nutrition.

Beginning this month, Sprouts shoppers will find a curated selection of Bark Bistro’s top-selling Buddy Budder products, including the Squeeze Packs in Ruff Ruff Raw, Pumpkin Pup, and Superberry Snoot.
