As any dog owner knows, there’s no better<br />
way to spoil your pup than with a tasty<br />
treat. Whether you’re looking for healthy<br />
alternatives to big pet-store food brands<br />
or want a special canine cake to celebrate a pooch’s<br />
birthday or “adoptaversary,” these Jersey “barkeries”<br />
have you covered.<br />
THE HUNGRY HOUND<br />
Somerville<br />
the hungry hound opened its doors in downtown Somerville in the fall of<br />
2003. “People thought I was crazy. This store was way ahead of its time,” says<br />
owner Penny Milligan, who started baking treats for her two Labrador retrievers<br />
as a way to pass time after getting laid off. She soon realized there was a strong<br />
demand for dog snacks beyond Milk-Bones. Twenty years later, dog owners are<br />
still flocking to the shop for Milligan’s house-made dog treats, cookies, birthday<br />
cakes and ice cream.<br />
