Also, more marketstall oriented - freeze dried chicken, freeze dried shrimp.

Freeze dried seafood of pretty much any variety is worth stocking, and should be popular.

I've been tempted to start making my own.

'Dreamies' for our cats.

Currently Dreamies for the cats-they just love them (two of my cats can be fussy about treats)

Fish4Dogs sea jerky etc, low in fat and seem to be enjoyed by most dogs. I have recently bought the Misfit range for my dog but just realised they're part of Mars!

Pro reward treats are great for training, we use these at work all the time very few dogs refuse them.

As a vet nurse who has to deal with overweight pets day after day can I ask that you look into low eat treats (genuinely low fat not like the pedigree idea of low fat)

Fish4dogs, Coachies, Pro reward ranges are all examples of this.

There is also a newish range of treats by a company called Paragon. They make rice based dog treats very low fat but great for dogs that are on a diet but more importantly good for dogs with conditions such as chronic pancreatitis where very low fat is essential, they look good to

Make raw food treats for them.

Would it not be easier for him to wholesale buy raw treats? I assume this would be possible.

Fish4Dogs is basically just fish and pre packaged.

Would be a good product to offer something different to the supermarkets

Absolutely.

And I was thinking if you make your own from basic incredients you also know that it's all chemical free etc and can sell it as such.

The downside is I rather suspect shelf life won't be so good (though could freeze dry/dehydrate possibly?!?).

proper pigs ears with hair on them not the processed crap you usually get. Also hoofs are good, my dadas dogs used to love them when i was a kid. Miss wont let me have them in the house as they stink too much

There are debates about the relative safety of pork for dogs.

I'd recommend the 'Petstages' range of cat / dog toys. They're very cleverly designed, eye-catching, and only a few quid so a good impulse purchase.

Strangely enough I've never found them in pet shops, only online. My cat loves these catnip chew toys, which have the added benefit of cleaning his teeth:

Liver cake will freeze ,it's fiddly ,but not expensive to make .Dogs love it .Mine does,but we don't like the result ,so it's banned .
