Baboo Gelato, manufacturer of award- winning frozen dog treat Doggy Doggy Yum Yum, has secured a major distribution deal with Hunt’s Food Group.

Hunt’s is one of the UK’s leading distributors, delivering products to over 6,000 customers across the South in food & drink, catering and retail sectors. 

This new deal will allow Baboo Gelato to expand the sales of its products across more market sectors and parts of the UK.

Baboo Gelato, started by husband and wife team Sam and Annie Hanbury in 2012, has won numerous awards for its ice cream range, and following demand from its customers the company set about developing a frozen treat for dogs.

Sam Hanbury said:  “We are finding limitless demand during the summer, not just from obvious pet retailers and specialist dog friendly places, but from ordinary cafés, pubs, restaurants, and tourist destinations.  It just seems that most savvy people involved in Food & Drink want some of the poochie pound and we can help with a classy product, well supported with point of sale which includes stickers, leaflets, posters and an A-frame sign which comes complete with space to put a dog bowl underneath it.

“We are absolutely delighted that we are now able to work with the Hunt’s Food Group to further expand the distribution of Baboo Gelato and Doggy Doggy Yum Yum. It is great to work with company that shares the same values as us in terms of quality, delivery service and customer care.”

Thomas Hunt, Managing Director at Hunt’s Food Group, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Baboo Gelato into the Hunt’s Food Group family. Their commitment to crafting exceptional, award-winning gelato resonates with our own dedication to quality. Just as our neighbouring charcuterie brand in Rampisham, Capreolus brings exquisite flavours to the table, Baboo Gelato elevates the dessert experience with its inventive range.

"Together, we’re not just distributing products; we’re curating a delightful culinary journey for our customers. This partnership allows us to expand our offerings and celebrate the local artistry in food, ensuring that every scoop and every bite brings joy to both our human and canine consumers. I would highly recommend the Mint Choc Chip which is certainly my favourite flavour!”

Baboo Gelato can support all its customers with branded freezers and point of sale material.

Pet shops and specialist pet stockists should order Doggy Doggy Yum Yum through Pedigree Wholesale. Cafes, restaurants and pubs should order through Hunt’s Food Group
