Fresh Pet food truck??

[10muddypaws]

Do you think we could write a business plan for a fresh pet food food truck?

[dogma]

Do you mean a truck that will deliver to your home or business? Just trying to understand your question. Do you want to start this as a business?

While I don’t receive a lot of supplies delivered to me, having pet food delivered might be nice. It would save a trip to another store on my crazy busy days. So I wouldn’t have all the packing material to deal with if I used a food truck? I would like that.

I did order from Amazon once but that wasn’t a good option for me.

If you have the demand and I think you could, it would be a good idea. But not something you would part with all the other food trucks??? Certainly making fresh deliveries a couple days a week even it could work. You wouldn't have to necessarily have the most deluxe decked out one either. I know people that make their own pet food and it takes time. All human grade. Sure it is worth considering.

Sure this could work. If you have lots of clients to start with that would give it a kick start.

We actually found a company that does this now. With the lockdown and quarantine, and all those companies like doing Hello Fresh, people with disposable income are paying the premium. Food is prepared, shipped frozen if not personally delivered, in bulk.

I know this is older thread but guess what this has happened in some places. Instead of just a pet bakery they get the code and licensing and kitchen stuff done and sell fresh pet food.

Bottom line will be your wholesale cost for meats. I have heard that many meats come from out of the country for even some of the better pet foods.

Glad to hear you are doing the plan, thanks for the PM.

I have a customer that makes homemade fresh pet food and now uses a commercial kitchen. She has actually been able to get a few dozen pet owners to subscribe by so many pounds a week.

I know one here too. She had to get a license though and kitchen inspection.

Sometimes local cooks with right permits can do that and even market to local pet stores. We have one like that here.
