FIDO is so excited to learn that our friends at Lincoln Bark have more than tripled in size since 2010 - read their story, below:
CHICAGO, IL – Lincoln Bark recently celebrated their second year in business. Since it’s inception in 2010, Lincoln Bark has introduced four product lines of all natural, human grade pet treats. The company has grown from a 3 person business to a 10 person operation, and is now selling treats internationally.
Bobbye Cochran started Lincoln Bark in 2010 in an effort to create healthy treats to entice her sick dog, Sophie, to eat again. Sophie’s diagnosis with Addison’s Disease drove her to lose her appetite, along with much of her fur. After Cochran baked the first batch of Sweet Little Butterpup™ dog treats and found that Sophie and the neighborhood dogs couldn’t get enough, she trademarked the recipe and started Lincoln Bark.
In 2010, Lincoln Bark was selling its treats in approximately 15 boutique pet shops in the US, as well as online. Today, the company’s products are on shelves across the US, Canada, and parts of Europe.
The Lincoln Bark team started with Bobbye Cochran and her family: husband, Todd Main, 14 year old daughter, Sara Main, and taste testing Standard Poodle, Sophie. The staff has since grown to include a marketing department, a PR department, graphic designers, animators, and a growing sales force.
In 2011, Lincoln Bark revamped their original treat recipes and introduced the superfood, chia seed, to their Sweet Little Butterpup™ and Treat Smart™ dog treats. The introduction of chia seeds set Lincoln Bark apart in the pet food industry because this seeds offer antioxidants and nutraceutical benefits. The company plans to continue growing by adding new products to their treat line and selling their treats in more stores across the globe.
Lincoln Bark is a Chicago-based, holistic dog treat company, offering human-grade dog treats that are uniquely powered with the Chia seed; a superfood with 8x more omega-3s than wild salmon and more antioxidants than blueberries. Lincoln Bark’s original Sweet Little Butterpup™ treats have since inspired two others: Treat Smart™ and Doggie Sprinkles. All of Lincoln Bark’s treats are proudly made in the USA from 100% natural ingredients and are available at www.lincolnbark.com as well as pet boutiques in the US and Canada.
All natural, human-grade dog treats; powering your pup with Chia since 2010.
