Life of Riley Pet Bakery and Boutique started out as a home bakery to satiate the hunger of one poorly little Patterdale Terrier - Riley. Riley has since seen himself promoted to CEO (Chief Eating Officer) of a company that provides healthy, gluten free tasty treats, cakes and carob truffles to dogs from Scotland to Norfolk.
Today we speak to Sarah, PA and Chef to Riley, about how the business has grown from servicing local doggies to taking over her husbands ‘man-cave’ in order to send treats across the country. We also find out about how Life of Riley Pet Bakery and Boutique grew to accommodate paw balms and even homemade birthday cakes all on the back of customer requests. This year they’ll also be introducing Dogvent Calendars and Woofmas Boxes for the first time!
Sarah also talks to us about Jack “The ladies man” Jack Russell Terrier and his escapades during her childhood and how Hedwig the Siamese cat has got along with Riley since joining the family. As always we wanted to know what Sarah would make mandatory and outlaw if she were given supreme power - watch out it’s a controversial one this week LOL.
If you want to find out more you can get hold of Sarah by email (
