US dog toy brand Bark launches collection with Crufts

Bark has announced an exclusive partnership with Crufts, the world’s largest dog show organised by The Kennel Club.

The American dog toy brand, which now sells products in the UK, is celebrating the collaboration with a “specially designed” collection of Crufts-themed dog toys for dogs of all sizes.

Bark said the collection spotlights its “playful” design, featuring squeakers, crinkle textures, rip-and-reveal surprises, dual-layer plush construction and reinforced stitching.

Some Bark x Crufts toys include:

• Winner’s Chompagne: A celebratory Crufts bottle featuring squeakers and crinkles
• Best in Throw Judge: A Crufts judge disguised as a squirrel for tossing, shaking and hiding treats in its extendable tail
• Personal Beast Play Timer: A plush timer with a woven nylon strap for playing tug, stuffing, squeakers and crinkles
• Boopquet of Roses: A sensory bouquet featuring soft textures for cuddling and squeaking 

Bark said its partnership with Crufts and The Kennel Club reflects their shared commitment to championing all dogs and prioritising their wellbeing through quality, safety and innovative toy design.

Matt Gourdin, VP of international at Bark, said: “Crufts is the gold standard of dog shows, so teaming up with The Kennel Club is a proud, best-in-show moment for Bark. This collection is packed with fun, thoughtfully designed Crufts-themed toys, for dogs of all sizes, that are made for play and built to last.”
