Bagelman and Love Chloe join paws to support East Sussex charity, Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare

Bagelman, Love Chloe, and Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare have joined paws in a collaboration which will see Love Chloe baking homemade, gluten-free, vegan dog biscuits for Bagelman to sell in their Hove store along Church Road, with 100% of the profits going to Raystede.

Jo Prior, CEO of Bagelman, launched her first store in 1999. The stores have always been dog-friendly, and a lot of her customers bring their pups along, so she wanted to create dog treats the dogs can enjoy while their owners enjoy the fresh bagels. She has a deep connection with Raystede after visiting the centre’s beautiful location in Ringmer and seeing the difference they make to the animals’ lives.

Jo, who is looking to adopt a dog in the near future, said: “I look forward to this venture with both Raystede and Love Chloe. This is a very simple way for me to support everything that Raystede does at the animal welfare sanctuary. I’ve always encouraged my customers to bring their pups with them into my stores, and now they can give them a treat as they enjoy our artisan, freshly baked bagels!”

Eve Entwisle, the Founder of Love Chloe, added: “After adopting my own dog, I realised there was a gap in the market for offering gluten-free, 100% natural, vegan dog biscuits for dogs with sensitive stomachs, so that’s why I started the business. I’ve been supporting local animal charities since the beginning, so I was super excited to be involved in this initiative and support Raystede.”

This collaboration came to fruition between all three parties after many discussions, but they are excited to start selling the dog biscuits, with all proceeds supporting Raystede and the animals they care for at the centre.

Janet Parsons, Head of Marketing at Raystede, said: “We are very grateful to both Bagelman and Love Chloe for supporting us and helping us raise awareness of Raystede’s work rescuing, rehoming and providing rehabilitation for injured and unwanted animals in need. This is a great opportunity for local businesses to support one another, whilst supporting animals that we all love and care for.”

You can expect to see these delicious dog biscuits at Bagelman in Hove, located at 106 Church Road.
