So yes, you would need SSL. You must have observed that https:// is very much secure way for your target customers to enter the site and buy your goods / products, in your case its dog treats.

You would only need this if you are going to want people to enter private information such as credit card numbers. SSL allows that information to be encrypted before it is sent from the browser to the server. If you don't have SSL, the credit card numbers would be sent unencrypted, and anyone could intercept them. If your web site isn't going to be doing any transactions with sensitive information like that, then you don't need a SSL certificate.

Just let them politely know that they will be making their secure purchased through Pay Pal. If you are gathering information such as their name, address and other personal information it could be wise to have an SSL on your site. For example, will it be a shopping cart software that stores all their information, and just for payment send it off to Pay Pal? If so, you want the SSL protecting the part where the user is logging in and editing personal information.
