It's not like she's asking money for nothing. The top reward is a 32oz. jar which can easily fit like 500+ treats. She could save the money for a side business on her own no problem, but it makes better business sense to do it this way, essentially taking pre-orders to cover startup costs. And there's nothing to worry about with perishables, peanut butter and purees come with preservatives (natural ones like vitamin E) already in them. And dogs can handle rice flour just fine, especially for a treat, it's an enormous stretch to call out on that.
She is asking money for nothing, though. It's the very definition of kickstarter. I want YOUR money and I won't give you MY equity. I WILL give you product that I create that hopefully drums up more business with you, though!

Simply put, the amount you give won't be coming back to you. It is not a loan, it is a donation. It is PBS-style 'donate 25 dollars and you get this tote bag!' type of deal.

It's not nearly as heinous as big movie studios funding millions on kickstarter and giving out free DVDs (I'm looking at you, Veronica Mars). It's 800 bucks. I'm just against the principle of kickstarter-for-profit in general.

Isn't it great that when you don't like a project, you can just exit the page? A number industries like small electronics manufacturing wouldn't have a fraction of the innovations we're seeing come out daily if it weren't for kickstarter types of funding, there's nothing wrong with it other than humanity should have figured it out sooner.

And no, money for nothing is not the definition of kickstarter, and isn't what's going on with hers. Your equity in the company, for $10, is a bag of treats. You can't expect to become a major stockholder in any company for that kind of money.
I'm really quite aware of how Kickstarter works. Compare the model of KIVA to this.

Kiva - you give small amounts, 'micro-loans', with a defined interest rate depending on loan amount and risk associated. The recipient of the money then uses this capital to develop their product/service and then pays back the loan. This allows small companies/individual proprietors to raise funds where they otherwise couldn't, and the investor not only helps out small business, but gets their money back + interest. There is a risk of default, but that is what the interest rate is for.

Kickstarter - you give small amounts, 'micro-donations', where the only required payment is the 'levels' defined by kickstarter. The recipient of the money then uses this capital to develop their product/service and then sends out their level-payments. This allows small companies/individual proprietors to raise funds where they otherwise couldn't, and the investor helps out small business as a donation - they may get a small reward (or not). There is a risk of default, but you donated your money so there's no obligation. They don't even have to pay out the levels if their project falls through.

They are very similar, except one is accountable and the other isn't. Your claim of small electronics would be just as well funded by micro-lending. Kickstarter has, and always will be, a scam. It acts as if it's a public funding enterprise (like PBS) and accepts donations, no 'equity'.

And yes, $10 isn't enough for anything. However, I've seen kickstarter campaigns that have levels for $100k - i think that's some equity money right there (but you could be an EXTRA IN A MOVIE!).
