A new luxury bakery is opening in town - for dogs.

Dog lovers are in for a treat after Vivian Nutt, 50, from Worcester Park, decided to set up her own dog bakery business.

The bakery has treats, which are also edible for humans, costing up to £12 for a doggie birthday cake.

She said: "It’s all good quality human grade food, you could eat them.

"My daughter eats the cakes. There are no artificial colours or preservatives."

The mum of two set up her unusual business after finding herself out of work for more than six months after losing her job as a charity fundraiser.

She started up with help from the government’s New Enterprise Allowance (NEA).

The entrepreneur took some inspiration from her Labradoodle, Cooper.

She said:"The treats I used to give him were really smelly and horrible, so I started making my own. As far as I’m concerned, if I wouldn’t eat it, I wouldn’t expect my dog to eat it.

"It wasn’t long before friends started to ask for some, and it’s gone from there really.

"Other dogs in the park loved them and people kept saying ‘you could sell these.’"

Because chocolate is poisonous for dogs - Mrs Nutt’s boxes of dog chocolates are made with carob and yoghurt.

There is also peanut butter in the dog treats which the dogs love.

She said: "What I’d really like to do is to have a dog cafe."
