I bought a dog food factory
« on: February 07, 2011, 02:15:01 PM »
No, I really did buy a dog food factory.

Which is the reason I've been rather quiet of late.
For 10 years I've bought my dog food from a small factory near me because they made dog food that was simply cooked real food. No fillers, thickeners, colouring or preservatives. Mostly it was made of Chicken with a very small amount of Carrots, Spinach, garlic, kelp, Rice and spaghetti. I walked in the day before my holiday to Robe and the guy said he was closing down and had no dog food.

His buyer had pulled out 2 hours before I got there so I asked him how much he would take for it. The figure was less than the price of the plant. So I bought it.

Working very hard to get up and running to supply orders and learn the cooking process. Which is the secret to it all.

Good for you. The price must have been low enough for you to make a go of it. Best wishes for your success. If it's anything like the US market, there's room for good operators.

Don't forget merchandising.  ;)
