Thank you for agreeing to our interview: can you tell us a little bit more about Fussy Pups?
Fussy Pups is a little business making Handmade Natural Dog treats and cakes. I have over 20 years experience in the food industry so already have good knowledge for baking and good food hygiene but also we had to be approved with DEFRA, our local council and all our products have to be analytically tested. I am lucky as I have an incredibly supportive partner who has helped and encouraged me throughout - he even helped out when I had health issues at Christmas! Of course there is also George, our chief taster and quality control expert who gives his paw of approval!
What made you decide to start making Dog Biscuits?
I started making our dog George treats as so many have a lot of artificial stuff in them plus I wanted them to be tasty. Then, after a mini stroke and some health issues my partner relocated us to Cornwall and helped me set up the business and Fussy Pups was born (he came up with the name). Since then, the business is growing with more and more amazing customers both furry and not so furry.
Your biscuits are so beautifully decorated it must take a lot of time, what is your favourite part of the biscuit making process?
Thankfully, I love baking but also love making them look nice as well..We have seasonal boxes so the designs change throughout the year depending on season or special occasions like Christmas, Valentine's and Easter. We even are doing a bespoke order for wedding flavours. It's always fun coming up with new designs or flavours to try.
What sort of ingredients are used in your biscuits?
I use all natural ingredients and all are human grade. Ingredients include peanut butter, pumpkin, coconut oil, spices and we are just adding Cornish Seaweed to one of our treats to be available soon. Our products do not contain artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives. this also means they don't have a long shelf life but we would rather that than add preservatives plus we would hope the dogs snaffle the treats pretty quickly anyway
Where can we purchase your lovely biscuits from?
