11-Year-Old Entrepreneur Starts Pet Food Biz
Inc.:
Shay Hammond started her business when she was 11 years old. She got her idea from a dog bone cookbook she found while on vacation. She wanted to make dog treats for her dog Pancake, so she did.
“He really liked them and I thought, “Wow this could really end up being something huge!” So i went around town to see if anyone would actually sell them and i found a couple of business that would, ” Hammond said.
Now, she sells her homemade dog treats, which come in flavors such as Mutter Butter and Chic’n Lick’n, from her website and in a neighborhood store which sells local artisan’s goods on consignment. Hammond earned $700 last year and $1,500 since she started the company.

That’s pretty cool. This is probably a hobby business for her, but if she wanted to make some more money, this would be a ripe candidate for a bunch of press releases.
Not only for the backlinks, but her story would probably be picked up by a bunch of offline publications.
