Publisher's Synopsis
"I got this book as I love making treats for my 2 Shihtzu's and my friend's dogs.
The thought of opening a Pet Bakery had not crossed my mind. Then I thought, what if?

There is great info on making the treats, the best ingredients to use, some good recipes, & even info on what foods to avoid.

This is a reference book you will want to keep handy if you have thought about doing this yourself or just want to make your own treats for your dog!
Glad I got it and so are my dogs: )" - Jill R.
Inspired by that British (BBC) television program called The Great British Bake Off and love, more pet owners are making homemade treats for their furry companions. Fueled by the rapid spread of information on the internet, there are what seems like an unending array of pet recipes. It's never been easier to treat Fido and King homemade artisan dog treats.
And for those dog owners who haven't yet jumped into baking for their pets but are more than willing to buy gourmet treats, some of the best options can be found at places often called pet bakeries. Whether the bakery is online or in a physical retail establishment across town, pet owners, especially those who own dogs, are willing to spend a reasonable amount of money so their pet can enjoy a delicious treat.
More pet owners are developing the tendency to treat their four-legged friends with the same attention and appreciation as their children, for they have chosen to not have any of their own or are waiting for the right circumstances to have or adopt some.
Another reason for the rise in homemade treats is a growing realization that commercially bought treats contain dubiously healthy-if not shockingly dangerous- ingredients.
For those owners who want to ensure their pets have nothing but food and treat with the healthiest ingredients, it's really not a long jump to creating homemade treats.
I started making various dog treats at home out of necessity and to make sure our dog always had something healthy to eat. But my hobby quickly grew into a passion and soon I saw a demand for dog treats from extended family, friends and neighbors.
The next step came almost naturally, after my husband suggested that I look into opening my own pet bakery, I started looking and researching the idea and soon enough the concept turned into reality and I never looked back.
But this Pet Bakery Business Startup book is not about my success story but yours, in this book, I show you a step by step process that anyone can follow and open up their own Pet Bakery even from home.
