I'm thinking about starting my own business because I'm tired of being unemployed and not being able to find work!!
I used to be a baker/cake decorator but there's TOO MANY bakeries here for humans and barely any for dogs and as far as I can see, the pet boutiques only sell the cookies with icing on them.
I could most certainly list all the ingredients I use, it would be all natural food.
There's a few flavours I have in mind... peanut butter... banana...bacon... maybe even cherry! I saw one recipe that even uses ground beef.
Did you make the items in the pictures? Those are awesome!
I would think you would need to be in a higher end area with a lot of foot traffic, close to a doggy daycare or vet or training facility would be ideal. Maybe even see if you could get a few places to sell your items to see how it goes in the way of sales before going into a lease of a building and remodel.
I almost forgot to answer you real question! I would only buy for special occasions as well, unless it was something I went by often then I might buy more often.
It looks like it's pretty even that some would and some wouldn't!
I plan on doing it from home and just having people place order via phone/web at first to see how it goes because it won't cost me anything except ingredients that way, and that's pretty cheap!
I found a great website that has pretty much every breed of cookie cutter so I may get a few of the popular breeds.
I think I'll focus on cookies at first since they'd probably be the most popular then have the option for people to order cupcakes and cakes on special occasions.
I get cookies for my guys on holidays.
I have gotten a cake in the past. A bunch of us got puppies at the same time so we threw them a birthday party when they all turned 1!
Three dog bakery has tons of stores around and I think they do pretty good business.
Whenever my wife I drive down to Indianapolis we stop by the Three Dog Bakery in Noblesville. They have a great selection of baked doggie treats and Cam loves their "Drooly Dream Bar"!!!:
Edit: The website does not list any of the fresh baked treats for the dogs. Each store has a large display of all the fresh treats (just like a donut shop) in addition to their prepackaged stuff.
