Dorset-based artisan ice cream maker Baboo Gelato, the manufacturer of a range of gelato ice cream and frozen dog treat Doggy Doggy Yum Yum, has secured another Highly Commended  at the PetQuip Awards.

During the judging at Birmingham Dogs Home, the canine panel were seen delightfully devouring Doggy Doggy Yum Yum’s new improved original variety, Banana and Peanut Butter and launched this summer, their Apple and Blueberry variety.

A few years ago, Baboo Gelato following demand from their customers set about developing a frozen treat for dogs which like their gelato, has gone on to win numerous awards including a Silver PetQuip Award for Sustainability in 2022, the Pedigree Wholesale Award - New Pet Product of the Year 2022 and more recently winning the Best Pet Treat of the Year at the Pet Industry Federation Awards 2024 with their original recipe, Banana and Peanut Butter. As well as leading pet shops, the treat is also stocked by a long list of dog friendly cafes, restaurants, hotels, tourist attractions and pubs. Doggy Doggy Yum Yum is now manufactured in-house in new purpose-built premises at the company’s Dorset base near Rampisham.

The new variety of Doggy Doggy Yum Yum, launched this summer Apple and Blueberry is made from coconut milk instead of dairy so it is kinder to dogs’ tummies, includes organic agave syrup rather than refined sugars and uses vegetable fibre as a stabiliser which avoids any ultra processed food emulsifiers or stabilisers being used in the product. Given as an occasional treat after a long walk in the countryside, the park or on the beach this tasty treat is perfect way to reward your dog. 5p from every tub sold of Doggy Doggy Yum Yum is also donated to the Dogs for Good charity.

Sam Hanbury says:  “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 also provide branded freezers to those who want to stock the Baboo Gelato range of products.”
