The Healthy Barker
325 Breithaupt Street N2H 5H6 Kitchener, ON, Canada

Codi was having terrible reactions to his kibble. A problem not uncommonly seen these days. Allergies can be a simple fix like just switching from kibble to a healthier wholefood diet. There are so many other ingredients in kibble then the protein that can cause a reaction. And with winter comes new seasonal allergies too! Set your dog on the right path by switching to The Healthy Barker today

1. Our meals are made FRESH with wholesome ingredients. No need to worry about nasty preservatives or chemicals. 2. Our meals are AFFORDABLE.

We work with a CERTIFIED Nutritionist to develop our meals so they are nutritionally complete. We don't play guess work when it comes to your dog's health.... 4. We're LOCAL! Conveniently located near Victoria St. We're a short car or bus ride away. We also offer delivery! 5. Our food tastes GREAT. There's a reason so many people recommend our food.

We got this wonderful email the other day. We LOVE hearing how happy our customers are with our food "My dog, Praydo, and I couldn't wait to receive our first order - Low Protein/Low Fat Turkey - and just as I knew Praydo was happy to eat it.Even more, I was happy to see the generous food portion knowing that Praydo not only was eating enough food, but he was eating good quality nutritious human food to meet the needs of his age and stage in life.Needless to say, Praydo licks his bowl clean every day at breakfast and every day at dinner.He's full and healthy, and I am ecstatically happy" Thank you for the awesome review, Melissa!

We were inspired by one of our clients and tried out this pupsicle recipe! Ingredients: -Your pup's favourite flavour of Gently Cooked food -Some of our Beef treats (chicken works too) -Low sodium chicken broth ... -Water -Icecube tray Mix about 4 tablespoons of the chicken broth into the water. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of Gently Cooked food into each spot and then add a little bit of the broth mix to fill the pocket. Then stick a treat into it to make a handle! Freeze for 3 hours. Yummy!

We are so sad to hear that one of our beloved clients has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Codi was one of The Healthy Barker's first customers! Our hearts are with your family during this tough time. <3

We get this question often. We just recently had a dear client of ours tell us their horror story of how their dog got TEN from their routine vaccines. We'd like to start by saying a few things that we believe can help you make the right decision about whether or not to vaccinate. 1. Do not be afraid to ask your vet questions. You are your dog's advocate so do not be shy if you don't understand why your dog is getting prescribed a specific vaccine.... 2. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion. Trusting your vet is critical when it comes to the health and wellness of our pets. If you do not feel comfortable with your current vet it is completely okay to talk to another vet. 3. Do your own research. This applies to anything to do with your dog's health but it is CRITICAL when it comes to medications like vaccines. Learn your rights as a pet owner and the history of each vaccine. 4. Try alternatives if you are unsure. We have alternatives for certain vaccines in store! All natural and can be stopped at any time. We'll post them in our story. If you have any comments or questions please visit us in store! It's certainly something that comes up a lot and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

We've got treats! Along with our tasty beef and chicken we have meat-free treats from @spoilthedogbakery. Pick them up in store today

We are OPEN today It's going to be a hot one. If you have your pup with you please bring them inside. NEVER leave your dog in the car Our hours today are 11-4. We'll see you soon

Any one else catch the lightning storm last night? We know our pups were a little frightened. We're OPEN today 11-4pm. Order online, email or call us. Please remember to keep your social distance

One of the most common questions we get is how long delivery takes. Delivery will take approximately 7-10 days. It takes a little longer since we make everything fresh and have specific delivery deadlines to make sure customers get their orders on time. If you'd like to make an order for delivery definitely plan ahead before you run out of food. We know sometimes life gets busy so coming in to pick up food is an option too!

Good Morning - We wanted to post some more information about our reopening after getting some great feedback from customers. Aside from 2 max customers in the store, we will have sanitizer in the store and gloves if requested. We are continually wiping down surfaces between customer interactions. We ask that you keep 2 metres between others. We are still offering curbside pick up and delivery! #staysafe #stopthespread
