All-natural dog bakery celebrates its grand opening in Encino with a ribbon-cutting ceremony

By Ayushi Das

A new bakery shop in Encino on Ventura Boulevard isn’t for people, and it isn’t called “bakery,” because the baked goodies at The Barkery are solely for dogs. Shop owner Ari Leonard held a grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, showing off freshly baked dog treats.

“Dogs and baking both bring me so much joy,” Leonard said. “I wanted to combine those passions and make a community space that everyone can enjoy.”
