Boulon Bakery, a part of Next Level Brands, is introducing a special line of dog treats called “Bark Bites”. These treats, featuring ingredients like peanut butter, bacon, and bananas, were initially offered as taste-testers to dogs passing by on Water Street. Due to their positive reception, Boulon Bakery is officially launching Bark Bites on National Dog Day, August 26. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these treats will be donated to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, which supports homeless animals in the area.
