What makes a dog treat gourmet?
Not the packaging, and not the quality either, because everything in our range is single ingredient and air-dried anyway. What puts something on this page is the reaction it gets. These are the ones you only have to rustle.
What is a good treat for a dog's birthday?
A pick n mix pouch if you want them to have a bit of everything, or jumbo sprats if you want the reaction. Sprats are the closest thing we have to a guaranteed fuss, though be warned your kitchen will know about it for a while afterwards.
Are gourmet treats richer than the rest?
Mostly yes, and that is not a coincidence. Richness is a large part of why a dog rates something so highly. Our sprats are 38% fat, the highest figure in the range. That is exactly why they work as a reward and exactly why they are not an everyday treat.
How often should a dog get one?
Sparingly, and that is the point rather than a restriction. A treat your dog would do anything for stops working the moment it becomes ordinary. Keep treats to roughly a tenth of what they eat in a day and save these for when you actually need them.
What is the best treat for a fussy dog?
Something that smells, because a fussy dog is usually a dog who has not been tempted rather than a dog who is not hungry. Sprats and chicken breast jerky are the two we reach for. If you genuinely do not know what they will take to, the mixed meat medley lets you find out without buying four bags.
Are these suitable as a gift?
They are the best part of the range for it, because a gift should feel like an occasion. If you are buying for a dog you do not know well, a gift card is the safer bet, since you cannot see their ingredients list from where you are standing.
