The Diva Dog Bakery™ – How to Start a Dog Treat Business Course is unlike anything on the market and is based on Kristin’s years of experience in this field.

The program is based on Kristin’s personal dog treat business success stories as the founder of Diva Dog Bakery™ – a boutique dog treat bakery that she started while in college.

After she was laid off from her 9 to 5 during the Great Recession, she quickly scaled her dog treat bakery to a full-time business, selling treats both in-person (at farmers markets, craft fairs, and neighborhood meetups) and online (via Etsy).

She found herself raking in hundreds of dollars at in-person events on Saturdays and consistently selling her homemade dog treats every day through her Etsy shop.

Her dog treat bakery was picked up by print magazines and online press, and she even was invited by the Emmys (!!!) to gift her dog treats in the swag bags.

  • 92% of U.S. dog owners reported that they purchased dog treats or chews in the last 12 months (source)
  • A recent study found that 61% of dog owners who buy dog treats are concerned about the safety of the treats they purchase. (source)
