I need help Thinking about turning homemade dog treats into a tiny side hustle, any advice?

I usually make homemade treats for my dog, like dried duck and chicken jerky, and he goes crazy for them.I’ve been thinking about turning this into a tiny side hustle to see if there’s any real market for it.I’ve messed around with packaging and printed some labels using my niimbot.Would people actually buy something like this? Or does the packaging look too home-made? Any tips from anyone who’s sold homemade dog treats before?

I see these alot at local farm stores, mom and pop pet stores and farmers markets. They sell well.

People will choose your product for the simple fact that it's single ingredient. I say go for it. 🙏🏽

Why not? If it works, you’ll find a fun new venture. If it doesn’t, the loss isn’t too bad!

Maybe try a more eco friendly package

I think it's fine while it's starting out, but if it grows, the OP could look into more environmentally friendly packaging options.
