✅ Actions to Take Today (5) tap to expand ▾
| ☐ |
Lock in your top 5 retail accounts THIS WEEK with a 6-month exclusivity agreement in exchange for better margins or co-branded packaging. The retail accounts you don't lock in this month will get a Bone Apetit pitch within 30 days.
🔴 HIGH · re: Biscuit Brothers Toronto — Launched B2B wholesale channel — selling to 12 boutique pet stores
|
| ☐ |
Pitch a Toronto lifestyle magazine with your own founder-story angle within 2 weeks while pet-bakery is a "trending Toronto topic." Lead with what makes you DIFFERENT from Snout & Sprig — different ingredient sourcing, different breed-specific products, different price point.
🔴 HIGH · re: Snout & Sprig Bakery — a major Toronto daily newspaper feature published yesterday — 4-page weekend section spread
|
| ☐ |
Don't compete with National pet-retail chain on price — compete on differentiation. Add an in-store ingredient board listing the exact farms/suppliers you source from. Promote your hand-rolled process. Make the buyer feel the price-premium reflects real provenance.
🟡 MEDIUM · re: A major national pet-retail chain — National pet-retail chain added "premium small-batch treats" private label at $6.99
|
| ☐ |
Submit a comment supporting the rules — small artisans benefit from tighter standards that mass producers can't easily meet. Get your name into the proceeding record so press will quote you if the issue becomes a story.
🟡 MEDIUM · re: Industry News — a federal food-safety regulator proposes new natural-pet-food labeling rules — comment period open
|
| ☐ |
Run a targeted Google Local Service Ad with copy like "in stock today" or post Instagram stories of your current case offerings. Maplewood Pet's customers searching for what they couldn't find are about to discover you.
🟢 LOW · re: Maplewood Pet Bakery (King West) — Reviews flag inconsistent product availability — "they're always out"

🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
Launched B2B wholesale channel — selling to 12 boutique pet stores
Biscuit Brothers added a "Wholesale" tab to their website yesterday listing 12 boutique pet stores across Greater Toronto Area now carrying their products. They're selling at $4/biscuit wholesale (retailing for $9). Direct expansion into your retail-partner base and likely a 25-30% revenue impact if any of your current accounts switch.
→ ACTION: Lock in your top 5 retail accounts THIS WEEK with a 6-month exclusivity agreement in exchange for better margins or co-branded packaging. The retail accounts you don't lock in this month will get a Bone Apetit pitch within 30 days.
a major Toronto daily newspaper feature published yesterday — 4-page weekend section spread
Snout & Sprig Bakery got a 4-page feature in a major Toronto daily newspaper's weekend Life section yesterday, including a video of their owner's morning baking routine. Comments and social shares indicate the story is driving local discovery. Likely 4-6 week traffic + Instagram-follower spike for them.
→ ACTION: Pitch a Toronto lifestyle magazine with your own founder-story angle within 2 weeks while pet-bakery is a "trending Toronto topic." Lead with what makes you DIFFERENT from Snout & Sprig — different ingredient sourcing, different breed-specific products, different price point.
🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY
National pet-retail chain added "premium small-batch treats" private label at $6.99
National pet-retail chain launched a "their new in-house artisan label" private label across their Canadian stores yesterday. Pricing is $6.99 for a small bag — half of artisan-bakery pricing. Marketing as "small-batch artisan" though it's mass-produced. Will pressure your perceived value at the casual-buyer end of the market.
→ ACTION: Don't compete with National pet-retail chain on price — compete on differentiation. Add an in-store ingredient board listing the exact farms/suppliers you source from. Promote your hand-rolled process. Make the buyer feel the price-premium reflects real provenance.
a federal food-safety regulator proposes new natural-pet-food labeling rules — comment period open
a federal food-safety regulator proposed new labeling requirements for "natural" and "human-grade" pet food claims yesterday. Comment period closes July 14. If implemented, requires third-party verification for several common marketing claims. Could affect every pet bakery in Canada.
→ ACTION: Submit a comment supporting the rules — small artisans benefit from tighter standards that mass producers can't easily meet. Get your name into the proceeding record so press will quote you if the issue becomes a story.
🟢 LOW PRIORITY / FYI
Reviews flag inconsistent product availability — "they're always out"
Maplewood Pet Bakery King West has 5 reviews this week mentioning being out of stock on advertised items. Suggests supply-chain or production capacity issues. Their disappointed customers are your prospects.
→ ACTION: Run a targeted Google Local Service Ad with copy like "in stock today" or post Instagram stories of your current case offerings. Maplewood Pet's customers searching for what they couldn't find are about to discover you.
