Sabrina Sherwood

Sabrina Sherwood is the founder of Idaho Barkery, a Boise-based company creating gourmet, all-natural dog treats made with organic, dog-safe ingredients. The business was born from a personal need: during the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinical pharmacist was trying to find a safe treat for her dog Rocky, who suffered from allergies. Finding no store-bought options that met her standards, she began experimenting in her own kitchen.

What started in a 50-square-foot kitchen has grown into a thriving local business. Sherwood's background as a pharmacist brings a science-driven approach to treat formulation, Each recipe is both delicious and nutritionally sound, thanks to her science-driven approach. Her artsy sensibility shapes the bakery's aesthetic, from treat designs to packaging.

Idaho Barkery gained significant traction after Sherwood pitched at the 2024 Trailmix competition at Boise Entrepreneur Week, winning the grand prize of $50,000 along with a consumer test project. With guidance from the Idaho Small Business Development Center, she increased revenue by 50% and gained clarity on scaling operations.

Today, Idaho Barkery serves the Treasure Valley community with custom, clean-label dog treats that pet owners trust. The bakery continues to expand its reach while maintaining its focus on quality ingredients and the mission that started it all: giving dogs like Rocky treats they can truly enjoy.
