UK gets a healthy dog treat vending machine
July 9, 2025
The Fox Inn on Green Lane, in Hanwell, U.K., is now home to country's first vending machine offering healthy dog treats, according to an Ealing News report.
The vending machine is an innovation by Muddy Barkers, an Ealing-based business.
Founded by entrepreneur Roshni Tulluri, Muddy Barkers has introduced machines stocked with natural, sustainable and locally sourced dog treats. Another machine has also been installed at the Bailiwick Freehouse in Egham. Treat prices range from $4.08 to $9.52, with contactless payment options available for customers.
"Our aim was to create something simple, joyful, and dog-friendly," Tulluri told the news outlet. "We wanted to bring more convenience to dog owners while supporting local hospitality and giving pups a reason to enjoy outings too."
The development of these vending machines was supported by Grow London Local, a program backed by the Mayor of London and London & Partners, designed to assist small businesses.
