They run Bark Avenue, an eco-friendly boutique for human and pooch, in the heart of Bewdley.
They specialise in 100 per cent natural dog treats as well as eco-friendly gifts and products for four-legged friends and their owners.
“I’ve been in the dog industry for over 20 years and I’m a qualified in grooming, canine psychology, and nutrition,” says Tasz.
“We wanted to create something that was more than a basic pet shop,” she adds.
Both Tasz, aged 38, and Simon, 41, grew up with dogs and Tasz wanted to be a dog groomer from an early age.
They now share their home with wire-haired dachshund, Boris, and short-haired pointer, Django, who both play an important role in the business.
“Their are our chief testers,” says Tasz. “We like to try everything first, before we stock it.
“If we personally wouldn’t recommend it or use it, we won’t stock it.”
Their natural treat selection, which are all free from additives and preservatives, include sprats.
