Home Made Dog Treats?
Can anyone tell me what is required to sell home made dog treats in the State of NJ? I have called the USDA, they referred me to the County Health Dept, they referred me to NJ Dept of Agriculture, and I haven’t heard back from NJDofA. Anyone? The treats will be made from regular ingredients found in any kitchen and will be made at my house. I am only going to sell at Craft Fairs and Dog Shows in the area. Also, if anyone knows anything about Craft Fairs/Dog Shows, what documents will they ask me for to set up a table? At this point, I don’t have an EIN, and not sure I would need one. Any help from anyone who is familiar with this would be most appreciated…

My mother had to have a EIN/tax paper for all shows. She did many craft shows. Now church ones did not ask for it. But the fair grounds and such did.
She did not sale bake goods. So I am sorry i cant help you much there. I do know that with health issues some require insurance.
You may just want to place add is the paper for your dog treats. Remember that many dogs have allergies and health issues….So be careful what you place in your treats. From wheat glutton/wheat germ to beef tallow. And even the yeast. Having a lawsuit would be hard to handle in many ways. Besides the poor animal.
