A couple who started producing healthy pet treats from a catering trailer are opening their first shop and factory in Stanley Common.
Scott Latham and Janine Rose founded The Dog Bakery in 2010 after identifying a gap in the market.
Their business has gone from strength-to-strength and they have now opened a shop in former George Stafford black pudding shop in Belper Road.
The couple are renting the premises, which also includes a factory where they are planning to make more of their all-natural pet treats.
Mr Latham said: "We started just doing local dog shows and it has grown from there, we realised there was a market open for healthy treats.
"We started out in a fully refurbished catering trailer to produce our products but quickly realised that this wasn't big enough to produce the volumes we needed to make the business viable.
"It was at this point we started looking for new business premises and came across Belper Road, instantly knowing this was the building we needed after seeing that it had a factory at the rear.
"The shop has now been open for a few weeks and we hope to have the factory up and running within the next month with lots of new and unique natural treats being manufactured to the highest of standards. Our aim is to be the best dog treat manufacturer in the UK."
As well as healthy pet food the couple sell other pet supplies for dogs and exotic animals.
