How much would you pay for these home made liver treats (photo included)

[hmcAsWas]

I am fundraising at the local village fair. The liver treats (thank you fellow doghouse posters - you gave me the recipe in a previous thread) are additive free and all natural ingredients of flour, liver, eggs and water.

Each bag contains 60g of treats - and if using the treats for a dog walk for instance (I treat mine for jumping into the car, for recall, for accepting the leash, for ignoring other dogs etc) I would say the bag would last for 3-4 walks.

How much would you pay for a bag? They will have proper labels on them specifying price and ingredients and storage instructions.

I don't want to under price but neither do I want to over price

Thanks

To give an idea of scale the green glass next to them is a wide based drinking glass

They’re not raw - they’re cooked...

Liver cake is something I tend not to buy tbh, because it’s always overpriced, yes I know there’s effort involved, but it only costs a couple of pounds to make a whole batch.

So £1.50 - £2 any more than that and I’d not buy it.

Actually tabula I was thinking of selling for £2 per bag or 3 bags for £4.80 (lovely discount for bulk buy) so you might be tempted to buy from me

£1.50- £2 a bag I would say. Depends on the demographic too.

I might have to keep them under the table a bit black market like, and then when I see someone I know who has a dog (and who won't dob me in) whip them out discreetly

If I do this again I will go through the registration process. I was thinking of making them and selling them locally on the group page for my village on facebook - I have quite a large fundraising target to meet and every little bit helps....so if I sell in an official-ish capacity I will have to ensure that I have the appropriate permissions

Up to £4 as a special treat for my dog, but would buy a couple of bags at a lower price.

I have come across this problem. DEFRA rules mean that you have to be regulated very stringently to sell
Pet treats with meat or fish ingredients. It really isn't worth it so I would go for peanut butter/marmite/cheese/gravy type treats. If you want to go gluten free, then gram flour (chick pea) is cheap. The home made regulations for cakes at fetes etc don't apply to meat and fish and pets. It's ridiculous

I would pay £4. But if they were in a kraft paper bag with a tag attached with some twine probably about £7. I am a sucker for rustic stuff!!!!

I would pay about a fiver quite happily. My dogs would love them they look great!!

“I was thinking of selling for £2 per bag or 3 bags for £4.80”

I’d pay that... though I am ridiculously tight, so you might want to ignore me anyway, rofl

I would pay £5 but I live in London so am used to rip off prices!

For your three bags discount op maybe do 3 bags for a fiver, will save you having to have a lot of 20p coins!

You're manufacturing pet food using animal derived ingredients, it's not the sale/donation that needs registration it's the making of them in the first place. You need to register with your local authority and with APHA.

I knew pet food in the uk was regulated but hadn't realised how much. I must be miserable but I wouldn't buy home made pet food from a stall as I couldn't be certain of what I was getting. However, I suspect a lot of people would and your pricing sounds ok.

I don't think it's being miserable @BiteyShark, it's the same reason I now avoid shared water bowels outside shops, etc. with our dog. Caution as a result of knowing the risks.

I do buy non-meat based dog treats for our dog, but from a stall that's a regular attender at the local farmer's market and licensed by the council. Sorry OP, but I wouldn't buy liver treats from a charity stall - there's just too many things that could go wrong.

Going on the smells my dog made last time it had liver I wouldn't take them if you paid me.

Usually we use one or two tiny lumps of dried cat food. A box lasts months.

I sold out - thankfully not everyone is as daft as you (dried cat food with all the preservatives and additives )
