What about outside US?

Without preservatives how long can the bakery last? I went to a dog bakery / cookie workshop in my area and the teacher told me it can only last one week. Thanks

I typically think people like this are fake nice but I get the vibe she might be the most genuinely nice/kind person I’ve ever seen. 😂 great video! Thank you!

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi @FreeDumbDaily! I’ve been absent from YT for a year and a half and going through my comments now. 😅 Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m truly touched and thank you for making my morning! Have a great day and thank you for watching! 🤗

[@About_Argo]

I’m so excited for this course to be available.

[@minyoungmorita]

I’m so excited to launch it! I can’t wait to share everything! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🐶💕

[@margaretrangel7223]

Thank you so much for this. I really want to start a dog bakery online and am in the process or getting all of the legal stuff figured out. I’m concerned about starting a business during the pandemic but I’ve been dreaming of this forever. I’m also a full time marketing student.

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi Haley! You're very welcome! Having a dog bakery business is the most rewarding experience ever! I completely understand starting a business during uncertain times is so nerve wracking. Our dog bakery revenue actually boomed during the height of covid. We weren't expecting it, but our customers were the absolute best and we were very fortunate. Good luck with everything and I'm excited for your journey!!

[@catrinamundt9987]

What legal things do you have to go through?

[@miss2042]

how long should homemade treats lasts? do you cover this as well?

[@living.with.lahmans]

Thank you for all this information. Where do I send my samples? There are several website but I'm not sure which one to chose.

[@laurenderner9285]

I can not wait!!!!

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi Lauren!! Me too! I just can’t wait to get started! Have a wonderful week! 🐶💕

[@Kayla.Vera.]

Hello I am starting to come up with simple dog treat recipes, especially experimenting with cakes but I’m having a really tough time coming up with a frosting recipe because it cracks, disappears, absorbs and won’t last a few minutes without turning ugly and can only be a thick consistency with peanut butter or cream cheese... I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction of ingredients for a thick, lasting frosting that I can use safe coloring to dye, it would be much appreciated 🤍✨

Hi! I love the video and thank you so much for sharing! I noticed that you use baking powder for the birthday cake. I also read that baking powder is harmful for dogs if using large amounts. Would you still recommend using it in small quantities? Thank you so much!

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi Ngoc Anh Nguyen! I'm so sorry for my super delayed reply! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! I use a small amount of baking powder in my soft baked goods (cakes, donuts, etc). Baking powder in small amounts in batter is totally fine. Large amounts and giving baking powder in powder form is harmful to dogs. I hope this helps and again, sorry for the late reply!!

[@carmendoull5695]

how do you make your treats not go moldy

[@yenakang5380]

Hi Minyoung! How do you calculate guaranteed analysis? Does it need to be sent to a lab to have the treat analyzed or is there a tool/website you use?

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi Yena! Thank you so much for watching and great question! For guaranteed analysis, I cover the whole process in my e-course, Dog Bakery Academy, Zero to Launch! You can learn more about the course here : dogbakeryacademy.kartra.com/page/home Thank you again, Yena and have a great day! 🤗

[@camacho221]

Hi Bobby & Bambi's DIY I love your channel. Do you have any tips on storing the treats to prevent mold and mositure?

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi Tru_Fade! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so sorry for my late response! I share how to preserve and store treats in my course, Dog Bakery Academy! If you would like to learn about the course, you can check it out here: dogbakeryacademy.kartra.com/page/home Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@BlackGirlGreenThumb]

Do you need to have a license in each state to sell online? or is this covered in the course? I was told you needed one for each state and some of them are $150!

[@minyoungmorita]

Hello there! Yes, you do need register products in each state you’re shipping to. It can get expensive depending on the amount of products you’re selling. I do explain all of this in the course! Thank you so much for watching! 🤗

[@BlackGirlGreenThumb]

@@minyoungmorita thank you!!

[@jadereichman3667]

Hi wonderful Bobby & Bambi :) can i subscribe to the course if i live in South Africa?

[@minyoungmorita]

Hello Jade!! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comment! I’m thinking of making a separate course for International students since the course I’m currently working on is US based. I’ll be updating if it’s a possibility here or on my instagram @dogbakeryacademy! Thank you so much! 🐶💕

[@jadereichman3667]

@@minyoungmorita Thank you so much for your reply, it means so much and i would absolutely love and appreciate that so very much as your advice is so valuable and I currently own a dog bakery in SA and can relate to so much of what you are saying and what you have been through. I am now looking to grow and scale the business and your advice and course would truly be so beneficial for me as well as others around the world from someone like you who truly understands the industry. I look so forward to hearing if you are able to supply a course for international students and I thank you for taking the time to share your insights and spread the dog industry love!

[@minyoungmorita]

@@jadereichman3667 Thank you so much for your reply and for your kindness, Jade! 💕 You are the absolute sweetest!! That's so wonderful you own a dog bakery in South Africa! That's just really amazing! I'm SO happy to hear you can relate and so glad the videos are adding value! I had no idea, and am very humbled, people from all over the world want to know about the dog bakery business! It makes me so happy so many people want to create handmade, high quality treats for dogs. I just need to figure out some things and logistics before I can launch a separate course internationally. I really, really am going to make it happen! Thank you so much for taking the time to write back and for your kind words! Do you have an Instagram? Let me know so I can follow you! Have a great week! 🐶💕

hi, is skippy peanut butter is good for dogs?

[@minyoungmorita]

Hi there! I personally wouldn’t use Skippy. Skippy usually contains sugar. Skippy also uses lower quality oils such as palm or soybean oil. Do you by any chance live by a Trader Joe’s? They have single ingredient peanut butter! If not, any natural grocery store should have it. Hope this helps! 🐶🥜

[@minyoungmorita]

Hello Niza! I'm so sorry for my ate reply! I'm not sure why I didn't receive the comment notification! Did you by any chance find peanut butter without sugar or salt? If you're in the US, do you live near a Trader Joe's or a natural foods grocery store? You can also find no salt/sugar peanut butter at Nuts.com. Hope this helps!

[@Kayla.Vera.]

@Niza Kay hi I use the brand 365 I think it’s called from Whole Foods make sure the label is no salt no sugar it’s literally just peanuts!! Or you can grind peanuts and it’ll turn into peanut butter!! 😁✨🤍

[@emanyasser9592]

Hi im intreasted for this coures i have factory for dog food and i need your contact no for bussinse

[@kunglaoshat1250]

I’m responding to this comment after two years so I’m sure you figured something out, but for anyone who just found the video Kroger has a natural peanut butter that’s $1.89 (in my area). That’s an economical option for anyone starting out who isn’t ready to buy in bulk yet.
