Make & Sell Dog Treats
Anyone who owns a dog knows they are more than pets. They are family members. Just as any member of the family, dogs deserve a special treat every so often. Dog treats can get expensive so instead of buying them, why not make your own and sell them? Just like anything homemade, your dog will like them better than store-bought treats, and you will enjoy making a few extra bucks.
Instructions
1. Acquire a recipe. In this article I will describe make a typical oatmeal doggy-treat. There are hundreds of recipes from healthy all-natural kinds to indulgent special occasion types.
2. Make the treats. First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, dissolve a cube of bouillon in meat broth or hot water. While it's still hot, put the broth into a blender and blend it on high. Pour all of the broth into a large bowl. Add the butter and oatmeal, and stir it together.
3. Stir in the powdered milk, cornmeal and egg. Then add flour a little at a time and mix it well. Knead the dough and add more flour if you need too. Roll the dough on a floured surface to a half an inch thick and cut it into shapes.
4. Place the cut pieces on a greased cookie sheet and bake them for one hour. Let them cool until they are hard. Let your dog test them. If he goes nuts, move to the next step.
5. Wrap them up. Think of creative packaging that might catch someone's eye in a store. Create a brand name that customers will remember.
6. Fabricate a display box. This can be as simple as a box to hold your treats or an elaborate display stand.
7. Find a store that is willing to sell them. Try local mom and pop variety stores rather than chain stores. Have a price plan thought up before approaching the store and sell them on why the customer will want the treats. Also, make a website and market them through the internet. Include the web address on any wrappers or packaging.
