About Us
Hi, I'm Claire and I founded Smart Bark following a career in retail buying and teaching. As a dog lover and owner I found there was a gap in the market for a quality British website dedicated to useful information about our four legged friends. After a lot of research, I finally took the plunge in 2019 and set up Smart Bark.
My co-founder is Freddie the Cockapoo and the inspiration behind Smart Bark. He's a cheeky chappie, loves all dogs, humans & food. His hobbies include sleeping, lots of cuddles and exploring the wonderful world outside his garden.
Smart Bark is not just a website, it is a dog loving community supported by a number of dog lovers who (along with their pooches of course!) help to test and review many of the products we feature.
​
Whether it’s the latest dog products, nutritional hints and tips for a healthy dog or advice for new puppy parents, we’re all about making it enjoyable and simple.
I hope you enjoy Smart Bark and find the original content, honest reviews and detailed research useful.

Please feel free to join in - simply add your comments to an article or follow us on Facebook and Instagram, I would love to hear from you.
​You may have noticed the lack of ads and other clutter. Smart Bark is supported by readers and when you buy something we recommend, we may get a small affiliate commission but this never affects your price or what we pick.
