You have picture frame listed twice. Did you mean to write something else?

Here are some of my own personal thoughts.

1- dog people almost always ONLY buy their breed of dog. So if you make dog frames or treat jars with DOGS on them, they might not sell as people will only want their breed. But if you use things like bone shapes, fire hydrants, or other dog related items, they would be more "universal".

2- picture frames are fairly common, and for people with multiple pets it might mean they'd have to buy multiple frames and then they might decide against that (this is what I do. How could I possible CHOOSE who to frame and how could I buy 16???!!!)

3- treat jars are great for dogs, but cat treat usually only come in small resealable packages. I could not imagine taking the treats out of them to put in a jar.

4- BOWLS would be a great idea. Everyone uses them!

just a few of my own ideas.

i agree about the bowls. A very good bowl design would be purrfect. im sure youll figure something out. but i do agree with the others, picture frames are very common.

Bowls for cats is the only one I would buy too.

It's really hard buying cat stuff, you buy a new toy and the cat plays with the wrapping it came in!

I do all the time! LOL Have I not shown you what Harry can do to a package of treats? and those were "hidden" away in a drawer.

Oh Harry, I love ya bud! But try to chew through ceramic! LOLOLOL

I would probably not purchase a picture frame and agree that they are already so available....I really like the idea of cute food bowls.....but would LOVE to have a treat jar!!

That sounds so unique...and like catnapper, my treat packs are chewed up like hers are if I don't keep them in a drawer or cabinet...and I find the foil packs annoying to open. They make too much noise if I am trying to treat one of my more timid cats like Boomer or Eliot. A quiet treat jar would be terrific. I would also like it to have the rubber seal for freshness. If not, then I would vote for the food bowls

Ok, thanks for pointing out my goof

but you all were right, one was to be "bowls"

but I can't seem to change my own poll!

Thank you all for your comments.........

Please keep them coming in! They are really helping my group.

I've voted for "treat jar", too. My girls always chew on the bags and they look like the one Kim has posted! :

I am using tin cans for treats- you know the cute ones with kitties that sometimes come as a special edition. But I'd rather buy a treat jar. I have some cute handpainted bowls from an artist I know in Arizona

but if they broke I'd buy more bowls.

Aww.....gee Barbara!

Thank you!!

But this really wasn't about my business, we are really trying to put our cyber-heads together and come up with a good product!

You all have been REALLY helpful!! Then again, that is why I consulted all of you.
