Pet Bakeries face unique challenges: Cottage-food vs commercial-kitchen regulation per state. Ingredient compliance — no xylitol, controlled chocolate, etc.. Shelf-life and packaging for shipping (humidity is the enemy). Farmer's market + Etsy + custom orders = three sales channels to reconcile. Veterinarian referral relationships and white-label opportunities. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median pet bakery earns $32,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
