Chewing is a natural behaviour and provides mental and physical enrichment. Whilst chewing on a tasty treat, endorphins are released, keeping your dog happy and relaxed. This means a chew can also be used to distract anxious dogs during stressful situations, whilst also providing a positive association with their environment.
All our dried treats and chews are naturally produced through air-drying. This retains those wonderful nutrients that are often lost during high heat processing and holds that enticing flavour (well…to our dogs anyway!). These treats also require no preservatives to keep them fresh, which is ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs. From our frozen raw meaty bones to our tasty, dried treats, there is plenty of choice to keep your dog’s tail wagging. Sourced from trusted suppliers, these treats make an excellent addition to a balanced diet whilst simultaneously reducing wastage from animal production. They are extremely convenient to feed as they can be stored at ambient temperature, so are easy to use on the go.
There is plenty of protein choices on offer, from farmed proteins such as chicken and beef to novel proteins such as venison and pheasant. Different meats have different nutritional profiles, so it’s always good to mix up the protein where you can. Our treats are all single protein, and naturally grain and gluten free, meaning you can easily avoid any allergy triggers and digestive issues in your dog.
Softer Treats
- Bites and strips are versatile treats, that can either be given as a snack between meals, or as a reward for good behaviour during training. Bites are already conveniently small for training purposes, but strips also can be broken into small pieces, and are a high value reward, being 100% meat.
- Beef or lamb spaghetti is another softer choice, whilst this may be cut into smaller pieces for training, it is also ideal for teething puppies and elderly dogs who need a gentler chew.
Tenacious Treats
A longer lasting chew can provide the enriching benefits of raw meaty bones but can be used on the go. These chews keep dogs amused for longer, and will also mechanically scrape plaque off the teeth, keeping them clean.
- Lamb twists are twisted strips of meat, and their uneven texture makes them a tougher, longer-lasting chew.
- Beef trachea are a long lasting chew, and due to their hollow nature, can also be stuffed to become a more enriching snack.
With these tougher treats, we suggest you avoid offering to pups under 9 months of age, to avoid any dental damage whilst their permanent teeth are still erupting.
Ears with Fur
Our rabbit ears with fur are a firm favourite and its not difficult to see why:
- Fur can help with gut cleansing, it is mainly indigestible, so as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract, it sweeps along any debris and parasite eggs. Although not a preventive to worms, adding fur into your dog’s diet can certainly help with worm burdens when complemented with other preventative measures.
- Good source of insoluble fibre. Fur helps bulk out faeces and this promotes anal gland health as they can be easily emptied as the dog defecates.
- Naturally lower in fat than other ears, so good for dogs watching their weight.
- Fur is an excellent source of manganese.
- Rabbit is also classed as a novel protein source, so is ideal for dogs with allergies to farmed protein.
Fish Treats
Crunchy, and packed with DHA and EPA Omega 3 fatty acids, fish treats are great at tackling inflammation and supporting aging joints. These fatty acids also support skin and coat health.
- Sprats are small, oily fish which can be used as a treat or topper occasionally to complement a complete meal. These provide an abundance of vitamins, such as B12, D, E, and K, as well as taurine to support heart health.
We have a large larder full of treats for your dog to try, with a variety of textures and proteins – meaning you are bound to find something suitable for even the fussiest pooch!
