New Dog business ...Help please

We've decided to do a stall at the gamefairs and equestrian shows we've been helping out at just can't decided what sort of good to stock (some will be sold online as well)

We've got the following so far

Leads,
Whistles
Rawhide Bones
Roast Bones
biscuits (weighed out pointer gravy bones/markies etc
Dummies
Whistles
Ball throwers
Poo bag dispensers
toys
poratablewater bowls

Can anyone add to this, wondered what sort of things you buy your dog ( Mainly on impluse!!!)

Wouldn't touch anything rawhide or the roast bones(esp the bones in summer)

Air dried treats are popular & come ready bagged ! They are also produced in the UK-unlike the rawhide chews which are produced in the Far East !

There my best seller at the carboots, hollings are too expensive even if I buy it trade. I keep the bones spotlessly clean in air tight containers and only display 2 at a time, not sure where there sourced from though but my dogs havent had any problems.
Thats another thing I need to stop dipping in the stock box and giving them to my lot lol

Trouble is with the rawhide chews from the Far East is that they use carcinogenic toxic chemicals banned in the UK to produce them. The chemicals are cheaper than the ones allowed in the UK, which is why there are no rawhide chews processed in the UK.
