A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE: BOW-WOW BONES SEEKS MORE STORES TO SELL ITS DOG TREATS

Their ribboned packages are becoming more and more recognizable in the Seacoast. From Barker’s Farm in Stratham to the Nubble Lighthouse Gift Shop in York, Bow-Wow Bones dog treats is gaining a strong and loyal fanbase among the pet set. But behind the scenes, the makers of Bow-Wow Bones have their own strong commitment to the work. Overcoming a common stigma in a world that sees their disabilities first, they have a shared belief in their ability to deliver a quality product.
It’s been seven years since two Portsmouth High School teachers tinkered with recipes and started baking dog treats in the school kitchen with a small class of students in the school’s Transition Program. Now formally and legally known as Bow Wow Bones, Inc., the operation is still going strong today.
