Ola Cholkan is a recent Seneca College graduate with a diploma in Business Administration, specializing in Entrepreneurship and Small Business. During her studies at Seneca, she participated in the program – a resource that is dedicated to developing the entrepreneurial mindset by providing knowledge, mentorship, sessions, workspace, access to like-minded peer community, and experiential opportunities. Here she developed an idea to start a small business related to her love of pets, and especially to dogs. According to The Canadian Animal Health Institute ( ), the number of pet dogs owned in Canada as of 2018 was 8.2 million, up from 7.6 million in 2016. Further says that a dog owner in Canada can expect to pay about $1,000 a year to care for one dog of which $400 is spent on food. A 2018 survey indicated that 43% of respondents are willing to pay more for healthy pet food. According to , 1-2% of all dogs have cutaneous adverse food reactions, or food allergies that manifest in skin conditions. With all of this research in hand, Ola decided she would bake homemade healthy dog treats for dogs with allergies, i.e., without meat, dairy products, chicken or wheat, and sell them to existing retail pet stores throughout Ontario such as Pet Valu and PetsMart. Since Ola lives in a small apartment, she needs to rent a larger space with a commercial stove and additional staff to help bake the treats and ship them. In the future she would like to add e-commerce capability to her web site and sell directly to customers online.Ola uses the following recipe to bake her allergy-free dog treats. Each recipe makes 50 treats. There are 10 treats in each package.
