What is Diva Dog Bakery?
Diva Dog Bakery is a comprehensive, A-Z course that will help you start a dog treat business from your kitchen.
Whether the goal is to earn an extra $500 – $2,500+ per month or create a full-time income recurring revenue business, Diva Dog Bakery will teach you exactly what you need to know to create a thriving dog treat bakery.
With over 1,700 happy students in different parts of the world and new success stories every day, Diva Dog Bakery is the premier online dog treat business course.
The brand has grown into something bigger than simply a course. In 2022, Diva Dog Bakery hosted its first in-person conference in Nashville, Tennessee that brought together a group of students for hands-on educational opportunities with leading experts as well as networking opportunities.
In 2023, Diva Dog Bakery is working on establishing several key brand partnerships as well as creating a virtual conference for those who cannot attend in person.
Who Founded Diva Dog Bakery?
Diva Dog Bakery was founded by Kristin Larsen. The course is based on her years of experience running her own highly successful dog treat bakery.
Additional Course Points
- No baking experience is required. In the course, Kristin shares best-selling dog treat recipes that she personally developed and used.
- Homemade dog treats are in high demand and sell well nearly everywhere. Students have had a wide range of successes from opening a brick-and-mortar store, selling via mobile trucks, selling wholesale, selling in-person, selling online via Etsy or Shopify and more.
- A dog treat business can be scaled as needed. Some students take limited pre-orders only, allowing them to produce only as many treats as they can handle. Other students are starting small with plans to scale later (e.g., after their child starts school, in retirement).
- This is a great family business. Kids love to be involved in this business!
Industry Stats
- U.S. dog treat sales continue to rise with a 9.6% increase from $3.21 billion in 2021 to $3.54 billion in 2022.
- While the U.S. makes up about 40% of the pet industry, the growth is in no way specific to the U.S. Global growth trends are skyrocketing as well, and the global pet industry as a whole is expected to reach $325.74 billion in 2028. (source)
- 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 are concerned about the safety of the treats they purchase. (source)
