About 10yrs ago, my sister in an act of rare thoughtfulness made our dogs blankets that have been treasured to the point they are now worn threadbare. They were nice, simple, quality blankets but had a Boston Terrier embroidered in one corner and the dogs name. Like "Bullet's Blankie" and "Marsha's Blankie" under the Boston Terrier.
I could defintely embroider the dogs names and possibly that type of dog. I could have to ask my mom about that one.
I also thought of specail made treats. For example, my dog loves cheese, so thats how his treats are made. My mom's dog loves chicken, so thats how her treats are made.
My mom and a top golden retriever breeder have started up a dog supplement company called 'Juka Organics'.... first market product is a organic flax oil/lignan in a 1kg jug, called 'Flax Forward'. Provides your dog with many benfits and nutrients that they just don't get from the standard popular crap dog food that 90% of the dog food 'manufacturers'. The toxic dog food that majority of people feed their friendly 4 legged companions are full of food 'waste', as well as not having no where near the amount or variety of nutients a K9 needs to be healthy. This is why so many dogs have diseases, and disorders... as well from the handful of vaccines that are administered to them. (my own dog died directly from a vaccine)
The flax forward provides your dog with a luxurious healthy coat, greatly improved joint health, bowel health, puppy brain development, and improved 'leanness', or increased muscle mass, and many other benefits.
But any company is no easy task to get going, takes alot more effort and work than one might think. If you do end up getting into the K9 market, go for the 'health food' market, as people are figuring out, and learning that the large pet food manufacturers are liers and deceivers.

Yeah I plan to go into, and stay into the health food market. I am not by any means trying to be a big company. I am staying local but will try to expand within my community.
I am going to be handing out samples to my neighbor for her to try and I will be taking a big bag down to my vet for them to give out. I also plan on making a few cards to help spread the word.
