If you love dogs, you are in the right place!
This dog bakery course is based on my years of personal experience baking and selling dog treats since 2007!
After losing my job during the recession, I took my hobby of baking dog treats into a full time business.
From landing on the front page of Etsy, to being featured in magazines and the press...
To being invited to have my dog treats be in the official Emmy®'s swag bags, I knew I was on the right path!
Why not do something you love and learn from someone who has accomplished exactly what you want to accomplish?
After having the privilege of helping over 5,000+ students start and launch their dog treat bakeries since fall of 2020, I'm confident that you are in the right place!
PS: This course is personal for me.
It's a daily reminder that I started Diva Dog Bakery® for my original diva dogs ~ who were my whole life ~ and now my new diva dogs.
Many students start and name their dog bakery to honor their past and present fur babies.This makes me so happy!
The truth is, starting a dog treat bakery is super fun and pretty simple when you have a step-by-step plan and support from someone who has successfully done it before.

Yes, we provide you with the necessary information you need based on where you live! Our database shares all of the information you will need at different stages of your dog bakery. We do this to help you save time so you can focus on moving your dog bakery forward.
In the vast majority of states, yes! Inside our course, we guide you on who to contact in regard to state regulations. This is an area that has changed over the recent years since we first launched this course. The good news is that we are regularly up-to-date on rules and regulations.
California has some of the strictest business regulations in the U.S. (for all businesses!) and requires the use of a commercial kitchen. In most states, dog treats do not fall under the cottage food law and need to be registered through your state in order to sell them. We have had numerous students from CA use a commercial kitchen.
All of Diva Dog Bakery's recipes are meat-free, which can make an impact on whether or not you need to use a commercial kitchen. You also need to be a licensed business in order to bake and sell dog treats.
Yes! We’ve had students from around the world. While we do cover some rules and regulations specifically for the U.S., the starting point for licensing and registration is often similar worldwide. Every country is different. We have students from Mexico, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and more!
Inside our community, we have specific threads based on your location that are a great starting point but we do not cover other countries in-depth like we do in the U.S. A few ingredient brands may not be available worldwide, but we can help you find a suitable substitute.
At this time, the recipe book is exclusive to students of the course.
We are big fans of using what you have in the kitchen and scaling your business as you grow! Inside the course, we’ll provide recommendations and tools we use, all of which are optional.
With that being said, starting a new business takes some financial resources.
Depending on the type of business you have, a business license is typically required to sell dog treats in various markets. There are small, miscellaneous fees for using Etsy and setting up shop at your farmer’s market.
I (Kristin) am used to bootstrapping and starting my businesses from scratch and will help you do the same. I present as many DIY options as possible to help you get started, as well as include recommendations to help you reinvest in your bakery as you grow.
All of the above is explained in detail inside the course and DDB Community.
No, we are not a franchise! Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar franchises, we teach you how to start your own independent homemade dog treat bakery.
While a franchise can cost tens of thousands of dollars with start-up costs and monthly fees, our course teaches you exactly what you need to get started for just $299 with an optional paid Community (with the first 30 days free with your purchase!)
If you’re struggling financially, it might not be the right time to start a new business. Since student success is so important to us, we’d rather you work things out, set some money aside each month and join us down the road when you’re really ready. There will be additional opportunities to enroll in the future.
Due to the digital nature of this product, we do not provide refunds. We put a lot of hard work and energy into our course and the success of our students. If you are here to simply ‘check things out’, this is not the course for you.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@divadogbakery.com. We are always happy to help!
