ABOUT

Company founder, Barbara, began baking for dogs in 1995, when her dog, TJ, developed allergies to commercial treats. She opened a ground-breaking, natural pet treat bakery in Pineville, NC, in 1997, where she helped educate customers about the need for a natural diet for their pets. They, in turn, saw the great results of this improved, all-natural lifestyle in their dogs.

Customers loved the treats, but wanted more. Thus, Canine Café Charlotte was born. In 2004, we opened a larger bakery and a store at the intersection of Camden Road and South Tryon Street in the heart of Charlotte.

Six years later, we needed more space, which brought us to our third and favorite location just off South Boulevard in South End. Today, we’re thrilled that the pet industry is thriving (perhaps exploding) in Charlotte, and many of our fans and longtime, loyal customers give Barbara credit for jump-starting it.
