Healthy Dog Treat Recipes To Sell

Selling homemade dog treats is one of the most heartwarming — and profitable — small businesses you can start. Why? Because pet parents are willing to pay more for high-quality, healthy snacks they can trust.

But here’s the thing… not all recipes are created equal. If you’re selling, your treats need to be:

• Healthy & safe (no harmful ingredients)

• Attractive (because buyers shop with their eyes first)

• Shelf-stable or easy to store (so they last long enough to sell)

The following recipes tick all those boxes — and they’re designed to be profitable and customer-pleasing whether you’re selling at markets, online, or through local pet shops.

• Huge market — The pet industry is booming, especially in natural and organic products.

• Repeat customers — Once dogs love your treats, their owners will keep buying.

• Custom branding potential — Seasonal shapes, custom labels, and even gift packs.

• Premium pricing — Healthy = higher perceived value.

If you also want to offer dog grooming products , pairing your treats with items like the FreshFur™ Shower Brush or MagicRoller™ Fur Remover for Clothes can boost your sales even more.
