Obsessed with delivering the best nutrition and

grooming experience for pets, Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming( Woof Gang) operates unique stores that provide a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere combined with a luxurious general store feel. The brand offers everything that doggy dreams are made of, from all-natural, protein-rich food to the tastiest natural snacks and everything in between. Making pets look and feel their best is Woof Gang’ s top priority. That is why the company develops products that are nutritionally balanced, free of harmful ingredients, and formulated to nourish pets while promoting lifelong health. Aware that each dog is special and has unique health and wellness needs, Woof Gang creates a customized experience often lacking in traditional pet care. Ricardo
Azevedo, CEO, tells us more about the company’ s unique selling proposition( USP) and journey in the marketplace.
“ Woof Gang was founded in 2007 by dog lovers Paul and Cara Allen in North Palm Beach, where they opened their first store. In the beginning, it was meant to just be a bakery for dogs, as reflected in the company name. By around
2013, as the franchise model evolved, some franchisees began offering grooming services. Since then, grooming has become a central focus of the business and has continued to grow, resulting in the unique concept we offer today. Primarily a grooming business, Woof Gang also offers an interesting retail experience centered around all-natural dog foods and biscuits. Still, the bakery remains a significant aspect of our operations, representing the beauty of our concept. Many customers come to us to try the bakery and subsequently discover our grooming services, while others visit us for grooming and learn about our all-natural treats. Ultimately, it is the love and bond between pet parents and their pets that brings them together, whether through grooming or our homestyle bakery.
