laws vary from state to state so you need to call or email your agriculture department directly to find out. It is also a good idea to check with

dog treats for your dog bakery? You should really “love” to bake if this is your option. While you can make a very lucrative living baking dog treats, you will be baking thousands and thousands of treats. If you don’t enjoy baking you will quickly become frustrated and it will affect your business. When you bake your own dog treats you have
option of selling them wholesale and private label to other pet shops and dog bakeries.
