Baboo Gelato launches new Doggy Doggy Yum Yum frozen treats
For every pot of Doggy Doggy Yum Yum sold, 5p is donated to the Dogs for Good charity
Dorset-based artisan ice cream maker Baboo Gelato is set to launch a new variety of its Doggy Doggy Yum Yum frozen treat for dogs at the Farm Shop and Deli Show at the NEC Birmingham from 7 to 9 April.
The new variety of Doggy Doggy Yum Yum is Apple and Blueberry and is made from coconut milk instead of dairy.
It includes organic agave syrup rather than refined sugars and uses vegetable fibre as a stabiliser which avoids any ultra processed food emulsifiers or stabilisers being used in the product.
For every pot of Doggy Doggy Yum Yum sold, 5p is donated to the Dogs for Good charity.
Baboo Gelato was started by husband and wife team, Sam and Annie Hanbury after they moved to Bridport, Dorset in 2012 and purchased a house with a garden and orchard.
Inspired by their fruit, Annie went to Bologna to train as a professional gelatiere, before setting up a small artisanal manufacturing kitchen. They opened their first kiosk in West Bay Dorset and soon local restaurants and pubs wanted their product, other kiosks wanted to rebrand to carry Baboo Gelato and some shops wanted them to make ice cream in tubs.
A few years ago, Baboo Gelato decided to expand its offering and created a frozen treat for dogs.
Alongside pet shops, the treat is also stocked by a long list of dog friendly cafes, restaurants, hotels, tourist attractions and pubs. Doggy Doggy Yum Yum is now manufactured in-house in new purpose-built premises at the company’s Dorset base near Rampisham.
Pet shops and specialist pet stockists should order Doggy Doggy Yum Yum though Pedigree Wholesale. Cafes, restaurants and pubs should order through Hunt’s Food Group
Sam Hanbury said: “We are finding limitless demand during the summer not just from obvious pet retailers and specialist dog friendly places, but from ordinary cafés, pubs, restaurants, and tourist destinations.
“It just seems that most savvy people involved in Food and Drink want some of the poochie pound and we can help with a classy product, well supported with point of sale which includes stickers, leaflets, posters and an A-frame sign which comes complete with space to put a dog bowl underneath it. We also provide branded freezers to those who want to stock the Baboo Gelato range of products.”
