Bark Bistro Company has launched its Buddy Budder dog peanut butter line in 50 Fresh Market locations nationwide, adding to a grocery retail footprint that already includes 464 Sprouts Farmers Market stores and 13 Mother's Market locations.

The Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.-based company, which makes 100% natural, human-grade peanut butter for dogs, has recorded more than $20 million in lifetime sales across e-commerce platforms and 15,000-plus independent pet retailers. The Fresh Market rollout marks the brand's continued push into premium grocery channels as part of its 2026 growth strategy.

"Pet care has been shifting toward wellness and enrichment as a non-negotiable daily routine, and grocery retailers are resetting their aisles to reflect that," said Tamara Coleman, founder and CEO of Bark Bistro Company. "Our entry into The Fresh Market is a clear signal that Buddy Budder is powering this shift. We've built a high-quality product that isn't just a novelty treat — it's a tool for everyday joy and health that shoppers are now looking for in their weekly grocery basket."

Three flavors will be available at Fresh Market locations beginning this month:

  • Pumpkin Pup: A fiber-rich blend for digestive support.
  • Superberry Snoot: Packed with antioxidants for immune health.
  • Awesome Apple: A fan-favorite featuring real apples and cinnamon.

Coleman founded Bark Bistro in 2017 and has grown the company using squeeze pouch packaging and a 25,000-square-foot vertically integrated production facility in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. The company reports 60% year-over-year growth.
