From the outside, you may feel like you’ve seen a pet spa like Bones & Bubbles before. Yes, Boerne’s newest pet pampering place offers top-of-the-line grooming services and even features self-wash stations where patrons can bring their pets in and do their own bathing. But Bones & Bubbles Dog Spa has another one-of-a-kind feature: the Barkery.
In addition to the full-service pet spa, this pet-centric kitchen whips up all-natural pet treats that are safe for pets and their humans, too. Owners Meagan and Eric Howard launched the concept with ready-to-eat treats and made-to-order birthday and adoption-day cakes made especially for your pup. “We have treats out front that you can just walk in and purchase. You can feel safe giving them to your dog because the ingredients are all natural.”
The couple focused on creating recipes that are chemical-free and all-natural. Organic tapioca, peanut butter, pumpkin, organic vegetable dyes, and even wholesome sprinkles are key elements the Howards bake into their treats. Eric says they use Greek yogurt to make their icings and vegetable dyes for the color. “Our red dye is from beets, and our green dye is from vegetables,” Eric says. “You won’t see vibrant colors on our cookies.”
Bones & Bubbles itself was born out of necessity. “We have a 90-pound Bernedoodle,” says Meagan. “We like to give him a bath every two weeks.” When the Howards couldn’t find a local groomer for their dog that they felt connected with, they took matters into their own hands. The couple noticed their local community had also been looking for a place they could take to bathe their pets themselves. And with two shakes of a fluffy tail, Bones & Bubbles Pet Spa was born.
For both their treats and grooming services, the Howards focus on creating a safe and calm place for all furry friends. When a dog is groomed at Bones & Bubbles, it’s done in a private
suite. Meagan says, “We want to make sure that each animal that comes to us is in a safe environment and is receiving 1-on-1 attention from our team. At the end of the day, they’re our customers’ best friends.”
