Love Chloe, Bagelman, and Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare have joined paws in a remarkable collaboration. As part of this exciting joint venture, Love Chloe will be baking delicious 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, the CEO of Bagelman, launched her first store in 1999, and her stores are well-loved across Brighton and Hove. The stores have always been dog-friendly, and a lot of her customers bring their pups along, so she wanted to create dog treats so they can enjoy them too while their owners enjoy the fresh bagels. She has a deep connection with Raystede after visiting our centre in Ringmer and seeing the difference we make to the animals' lives. She is looking to adopt a dog in the near future.
Jo 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!”.
After connecting with Eve Entwisle, the Founder of Love Chloe, she said, “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 exciting collaboration came to fruition after many discussions, but they are excited to start selling the dog biscuits, with all proceeds supporting Raystede and the animals we care for at our centre.
Janet Parsons, our Head of Marketing here at Raystede, said “We are very grateful to both Love Chloe and Bagelman 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.”
Love Chloe Dog Treats are now available in the Hove branch of Bagelman.
