Our Story

Meet Monty — the reason Bark & Bloom exists.

A serious accident changed my life in ways I hadn't expected. Not long after, Monty came along. I got him as a distraction — something good to focus on while life found its feet again.

What I didn't expect was to become completely fascinated by his coat. Soft, wavy and nothing like the curlier Oodles around him. The more I noticed the difference, the more one question kept coming back:

If coats behave differently, why are we caring for them the same way?

That question became Bark & Bloom.

We started with two formulas — one for wavy coats, one for curly — guided by one simple idea:

The coat should come first.

Our Standards

Why Bark & Bloom.

No shortcuts, no unnecessary extras — just formulas that do exactly what they say.

Australian Made

Every bottle is formulated, filled and packed right here in Australia, from first mix to final label.

Fully Disclosed

We list every single ingredient in every formula, so you always know exactly what's going on your dog's coat.

Coat Specific

Different coats behave differently. Our formulas are built around the coat, not simply the breed.

The Scent

More spa. Less dog shampoo.

I never wanted Bark & Bloom to smell like bubblegum, caramel or coffee. I wanted something fresher and more refined — something that felt more like stepping into a spa.

Lemon Myrtle, Vanilla, Bergamot and Cedarwood come together in a fresh, botanical-inspired scent with a soft, warm finish.

Bright citrus. Soft vanilla. Warm woods.
