Title: Can we sell items here?
Post by: Pretty_Kitty on August 25, 2015, 14:48:19 PM
Hi All,

I used to be a member of this forum but took a Hiatus and I am back  :Luv:

I wanted to know if you can sell items on this forum. I am just starting up my own cat, dog and rabbit treat business. I will be making homemade treats for animals using natural ingredients. This way pet owners can be sure whilst treating there pet they are not giving them any nasty's or unnecessary chemicals. This would be a great place to offer these and I was even thinking of offering a couple of free jars for people that want to write a review for me.

Any advise would be great  :thanks:

Out of interest if we can't physically sell can we promote our site etc? I don't want to do anything I shouldn't.

To be able to promote your site you need Tans permission.

The auction is in Nov and  if you want to put some items in do it as a sponsor and then you will also get free promotion until about Christmas................tell Tan  ;D ;D ;D

There are lots of rules and regulations about selling pet treats. I don't know if you have looked into the legal side, but health and safety regulations for pet treats are far more strict than for humans. Also insurance is needed in case a pet chokes or dies eating your treats. A commercial stainless steel kitchen to make the treats. Registering with DEFRA etc etc. If you can get through all the red tape and make a go of it, then good luck. I hope you do well. Here is a link below in case you do need to think about legal regulations for selling treats.
