Smart Cookie Barkery Expands Distribution Through Partnership with Southeast Pet

Smart Cookie Barkery, the handcrafted pet treat company “Proudly Made in Golden, CO,” is excited to announce its newest partnership with Southeast Pet, a leading distributor serving independent pet retailers across the Southeastern United States. This collaboration brings Smart Cookie Barkery’s “junk-free, worry-free” treats, toppers, and bone broths to a broader network of pet specialty retailers throughout the region.

This marks Smart Cookie Barkery’s third new distributor partnership in 2025, highlighting the brand’s strong growth, trusted reputation, and expanding presence within the independent pet channel. From farmers markets to national distribution, Smart Cookie Barkery’s success continues to be driven by authenticity, innovation, and “real people in a real kitchen.”

“We’re excited to welcome Smart Cookie Barkery to the Southeast Pet family,” said Pete Cooper, vice president of sales and marketing at Southeast Pet. “Their commitment to quality, innovation, and in-house production perfectly aligns with our mission to support independent retailers with exceptional, high-integrity brands that truly stand out on the shelf.”

Founded in 2012, Smart Cookie Barkery crafts all of its treats in-house using limited, functional ingredients and novel proteins such as rabbit, wild boar, duck, trout, and salmon. The brand has built a strong following among ingredient-conscious pet parents and retailers who value transparency and small-batch quality.

“Partnering with Southeast Pet is another exciting step for our brand and our mission to bring handcrafted, small-batch quality to more independent retailers across the country. Southeast Pet shares our passion for supporting retailers with products that make a difference, and we couldn’t ask for a better partner in the Southeast,” added Bri Bradley, founder and CEO of Smart Cookie Barkery.

With a rapidly growing distributor network including Natural Animal Nutrition (NAN), West Plains Veterinary Supply (WPVS), Rio Grande Pet Food & Supply, Affordable Pet Supply, Remi’s Pet Supply, Middle West Pet Distribution and now Southeast Pet, Smart Cookie Barkery continues to expand its reach while staying true to its roots, handcrafted in Colorado with care, purpose and integrity.
