Woof Gang Bakery in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter may be the only canine specific South Florida baked goods purveyor that employs a professional baker.

But that’s precisely the kind of quality control that Cara and Paul Allen insisted on for their six-month-old bakery, which they are quickly franchising.

“I would say it was really founded on the fact that we’ve always been big animal lovers,” says Cara, who honed her customer-first skills during her time a Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts. “We really wanted to make the kind of store that we wanted to shop in that we hadn’t yet found.”

The Allens are parents to Monty, a long-haired Chihuahua, and Ivory, a mixed breed American Eskimo. Along with their two company-owned stores, a third franchise bakery opened in Key Biscayne in April and a fourth is scheduled for this summer in Doral.

The centerpiece of each shop is a dining room table set with white plates. On each plate is a house-baked treat. A place card holder describes what the treat is made of. They cost $12.95 per pound and customers and mix and match. Woof Gang also sells premium dog food that is wheat-free, corn-free, gluten- free and melamine-free. Look for California Natural, Innova, EVO, Wellness, Merrick, Evanger’s and Fromm.

There are also competitively priced toys, collars, leashes and bowl. Some of them for cats. “You don’t have to spend $100 for a collar and a leash,” says Cara.
