Do you offer wholesale pricing?

No, we don't offer wholesale pricing. Charlie and Mia's Barkery is a boutique retailer focused on providing quality, Australian-made treats with personalized service – not bulk distribution.
What this means:
  • All our products are sold at retail prices, whether you're buying one item or multiple
  • We're happy to work with businesses (like doggy daycares, groomers, or pet-friendly venues) who want to stock our products, but pricing remains at retail rates
  • You're welcome to purchase products, remove pricing, and mark them up for resale in your own business
Why we don't do wholesale: As a small, locally-owned business, our focus is on quality over quantity. We carefully source every product from trusted Australian suppliers and provide a boutique experience without boutique prices for our customers.
If you're a business interested in stocking our products at retail pricing, feel free to contact us at 0412 454 092 or email us to discuss options.
