Summary
- Couple started small honesty box for dog treats outside their home
- Business expanded to 11 locations in just 6 months
- Offer premium treats, accessories, and all-natural dog biscuits
In May 2025, a couple in Hull, UK launched a small honesty box for dog treats outside their home. Just six months later, their business, Bonnie Pooch, has expanded to 11 locations across the region.
Stuart and Danielle Bentham, who own two beagles named Penny and Bonnie, started the venture as a simple idea to share dog treats and gifts with their community. However, the concept quickly took off, forcing them to upgrade to a larger cabinet to keep up with demand.
Bonnie Pooch now operates honesty boxes stocked with premium treats like rabbit ears, buffalo horns, and camel skin, as well as accessories such as snuffle mats and lick mats. The couple also offers a variety of all-natural dog biscuits. Their products can be found in pubs, cafes, farm shops, and even at Normanby Hall.
