Meet Colby

2023 OZTOPDOG People's Choice Finalist 

Meet Colby

Breed: Maltipoo

Barking from: Sydney, NSW

What's up dog?

He is now 6, in the last couple of years Colby developed some skin allergies and we had to adjust his diet. Along came Covid and it was harder to get out to buy food etc . So with a lot of research i developed recipes for treats for Colby that would be safe and non allergenic, and we then became a business. Colby is the CTO (chief tasting officer) and Boss of Colby's Cupboard where we make natural Barkery treats for dogs using human grade fresh ingredients sourced from our local farmers markets. Colby tastes all the recipes and is the fave of the business. I just do the making and baking. As we got busier he got lonely and we added to the family last year a little puppy called Millie, she came to us at 12 weeks and we developed puppy treats for her to eat healthy too. She is now on staff as the assistant taster and she loves coming to the markets to socialize and sell the treats to her new friends. Colby and Millie are both an integral part of the business as it wouldn't exist without them. We are a team and we love sharing our love and healthy treats with lots of new customers at local markets.

Colby is happy and loves his new sister and is always happy to hand over the hard jobs to her while he sleeps in and has lounge time. He no longer has the sores from the allergies either.

Colby and Millie are definitely Top Dogs with a Job and they help run the business well.
