Hollings dog treats

Hollings started in the Yorkshire Dales in the early 1980s, founded by a butcher whose background in meat gave the brand its focus on simple, natural treats made from a single named ingredient rather than a mixed recipe. That single-ingredient approach has stayed the brand's identity since, and much of what it makes is air-dried or dried rather than baked or extruded.

This kind of treat tends to appeal to owners who want to see exactly what is in a chew at a glance, since a product like a tripe stick is, as the name suggests, one ingredient rather than a formulated mix. It is also a style of treat that tends to have a strong, distinctive smell, which is a fair trade-off many owners make for knowing there is nothing else added.

We stock a selection of Hollings treats and chews as part of our natural dog chews range, including tripe sticks among other single-ingredient products, alongside other natural chew brands. What is shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have available to order.

Hollings tends to suit owners looking for a simple, natural chew rather than a soft training treat — these are generally firmer, longer-lasting products meant to be chewed over time rather than eaten in one go, so they are worth choosing with your dog's chewing style and any dental needs in mind.

As with any natural chew, size the product to your dog rather than your dog's breed alone, and supervise them with anything new, since even a well-established natural chew is still worth watching the first few times a particular dog has it.
