The first dog bakery was created in 1989 by a Kansas City couple who had been baking for their sick dog in an attempt to get her to eat. They eventually opened multiple dog bakeries under the name Three Dog Bakery and now have shops in Japan and Korea as well as the US. As of 2008 there were an estimated 800 dog bakeries in the United States. As of 2017 there were online dog bakeries.
