		<description>Linda,it makes sense to me to work out a price for homemade dog treats in the same way you would set a price for any other product you&#039;re thinking of selling at a craft fair:

Add up the cost of ingredients; track the time it takes to produce, package and market them; figure out what your time is &#039;worth&#039; and calculate that cost; add together materials and labour costs to get the cost of making/selling them -- and that&#039;s the effective out-of-pocket; then figure out what you&#039;d be happy to get for a profit - and that&#039;s your mark-up.

Take that total and look, realistically, at what similar products are selling for: if your price is competitive (or if there&#039;s a clear niche demand for your product that will support a higher-than-average cost), then you&#039;ve got your price.

I dont know if it&#039;s a viable proposition -- that would depend on your costs and your market -- but I do know that these dog treats make very popular gifts for our dog-owning friends!
