How to Make & Sell Dog Treats
- 1). Acquire a recipe. In this article I will describe how to 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.

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.

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.
