Spotlight on Local Entrepreneur Teslin – A Young Baker with Big Dreams
At Treeline Realty, we love shining a light on incredible individuals in our Southwest Florida community - and this month’s Community Spotlight is as sweet as it gets. Meet Teslin, the creative young mind behind D & T’s Barkery Treats, a family-run dog treat business built with love, imagination, and a whole lot of heart.
๐ก How It All Started
We asked Teslin what inspired her to launch a business, and her answer was as pure as her passion:
“I thought it was cool! So then me and my parents started brainstorming, then we came up with the idea of a dog treat business! Then we got creative!”
And just like that, D & T’s Barkery Treats was born. Backed by the support of her parents—including her mom, Kristen Pell, our very own Broker-Owner—Teslin turned her idea into reality, baking healthy, homemade treats that dogs can’t get enough of.
๐ง What’s On the Menu?
Her signature creation is affectionately named “Pop Treats,” which stands for Pumpkin, Oats, and Peanut Butter—a favorite flavor combo for pups and pet parents alike. Not only are they delicious (according to tail-wagging reviews), but they’re also packed with simple, wholesome ingredients.
“My favorite dog treat to bake is Pop Treats! The dogs love it!” Teslin shared proudly.
๐ฏ A Young Entrepreneur with a Clear Mission
Teslin isn’t just baking for fun—she’s on a mission to grow her business and share the joy with dogs all around the community.
“My goal this summer is to make this business successful, popular, and I want dogs to love them!”
With that kind of determination, it’s no surprise her business is already gaining traction and smiles.
๐ How You Can Support
Community support is key for any local business—especially one run by such a driven young entrepreneur.
“People can support me by buying the treats for their dogs or even as gifts for other dogs!”
Whether you're shopping for your own furry friend or picking up a thoughtful gift, D & T’s Barkery Treats makes it easy to spread a little tail-wagging happiness.
๐ Meet the Barkery Co-Founder
Of course, we can’t forget about the co-star of this story—her adorable pup, who helps taste-test and proudly models for the brand. (Swipe through the photos to see some heart-melting shots of the duo!)
