INSIDE COMMUNITY

THE FRENCH BAKERY

The French Barkery is an all-natural pet bakery that local resident, Jennifer Mayo, opened in early December. It all started after Jennifer quickly became obsessed with making her three French Bulldogs all of their food and treats. Jennifer only uses quality, healthy, human-grade foods free of preservatives. She's hoping to open a storefront in the Lake Dallas area within the next 18 months. You can purchase these dog treats off her website www.thefrenchbarkery.com. photo courtesy of The French Barkery's Facebook page
