Homemade Dog Treats

It would depend mainly on the type of person you are trying to sell them to. I mean, If you are looking to make a killer profit on them, but are only making a few batches, then only the people who could afford them, would buy from you, while the rest of the people would go get regular dog treats. I personally, love buying my dogs special treats, but at an affordable price. The more you sell, the more money you will make, I would suggest 4.00 for one, if they are big. If they are small dog treats, I would sell them for 6-7.00 per bag.

I was thinking of making treats for my dog.I don't know what they're worth,but I thought it would be fun to make them.My dog can sample them.

I do not fit the description of dog owner, but I do have some input into this question. When I was learning about selling crafts I was always told that you take the cost of the materials and multiply them by three or as much as five to get a fair price. I think the same might be a good way for you to start thinking about pricing your treats. I have a lot of recipes as well, for both dog and cat treats. A dog bone shaped cutter would make them really cute.

I honestly don't know what I would pay. I think the ones at the Doggy Boutiques are way too expensive, where you only get a couple of bones for 2 or 3 bucks. I can make a few dozen for that price! lol I just wanted to say.... maybe check out your local dollar store for a container for them? I have seen some real cute containers there that would definitely up the price by a couple of bucks. GOOD LUCK !!

Well,sounds like an innovative idea but you'd have to work really hard to make it work.I don't think pricing would be as big an issue as marketing of your biscuits would be.For prices you can check the local retail stores and price your product lower than the popular dog biscuit brands and around the local ones.However,you got to pay attention on the packaging and try and make it look effective.Also you got to make sure that you are providing quality stuff.After that,you got to trust on word of mouth popularity initially and also try and network with the retailers in the vicinity..Keep me updated with the progress...:)

Well if I had to guess, being someone who doesn't own a dog but would much love to :D, I would say if it was in a bag or box of about 20-50 I'd pay somewhere from maybe 10-25$ for it. But, like I said, I don't own a pet, you see. . . I have asthma so I don't know. But yeah, I'd say somewhere from 10-25$. :D

Hi I think your idea is awesome. It's funny because I have been exploring the same idea. I recently made some doggie biscuits that my dog gobbled up and my friends dogs gobbled up. LOL. I have been doing serious research on this as well. I found out that I needed to confirm if there are zoning restrictions i.e. making them from home, get a business license either via the city or county I live in (mine was for the county I live in), get a wholesale reseller or sellers permit, and basically I am good to go. I already came up with a simple packaging idea that wouldn't cost me a whole lot of money and would be a good way to at least start out. I also found out that if I start the business as just a hobby prior to getting my business license that was also ok, but that if I intended to market it as a business a business license is required. I agree the other posts that indicated listing all ingredients used for the the different flavors you have just so people know ahead of time what is in the product so they can decide if they want to purchase the product or not. Other than that I wish you the best of luck, I'm having a lot of fun planning my doggie treat business, giving out free samples, and getting a lot of positive feedback. Although I don't have a culinary license, I'm just determined to create treats that are healthy and nutritious for my dog and anyone elses dog if they choose to buy their treats from me. Once again good luck with your business. And remember as long as you make your business about having fun and make it what you love to do, then everything should fall into place. :-).
