How much fat is actually in each one? Our own figures for this range

Nearly every shop uses the same rule, under 10% fat, and almost none of them tell you where each treat actually sits. These are the declared figures from our own product labels, lowest first. The same numbers appear on every product page.

Turkey pate is a wet product, so its 6.3% is measured against a much higher moisture content than the dried treats above it. Worth knowing if you are comparing like for like. The pure meat sticks and the mixed meat medley are not listed because the figure differs by protein: the ostrich at 5.8% and rabbit at 8.5% are lean, the kangaroo at 11% and venison at 13.8% are not.

Questions we get asked

The ones that come up most about this range

What treats are safe for a dog with pancreatitis?

Start with your vet, because how strict you need to be depends on your dog and how recently they were ill. What we can give you is the numbers. The leanest things we sell are the antler at 0.1%, sweet potato slices at 0.5% and the buffalo horn at 1.6%. Every figure on this page comes from the declared analytical constituents, not from a category badge.

What counts as low fat?

The trade generally uses under 10%, and so do we. It is a useful line but a blunt one, which is why we publish the actual percentage instead of asking you to trust the label. There is a real difference between 0.5% and 9%, and if your dog has had pancreatitis that difference matters.

Which are the least fattening?

The antler and the sweet potato slices, by a distance. If you want protein as well, the buffalo horn is the standout at 1.6% fat and 91.4% protein, and the braided beef pizzle at 3.2% fat and 79.2% protein is close behind.

Is a lean treat still a treat?

Yes, and it still counts. Low fat does not mean no calories. Treats and chews should stay under about a tenth of what your dog eats in a day whatever the fat content, so take them off dinner rather than adding them on top.

What should I avoid if my dog needs to lose weight?

From our own range: sprats at 38% fat, turkey feet at 37.8%, hairless rabbit ears at 34.4%, puffed chicken feet at 34.2%, duck wings at 31.5% and duck feet at 28.3%. All good treats, none of them right for a dog on a diet. We would rather tell you that than let you buy one from the wrong page.

Does low fat mean it lasts less time?

Not at all, and this surprises people. The buffalo horn is the leanest long chew we sell at 1.6% fat and it lasts a large dog two to four months. Fat and durability are not related. What makes a chew last is density and texture, not richness.
