Pointer dog food and treats for a puppy household
Pointer is a widely available, everyday UK brand best known for mixer biscuits and treats like Pointer Milky Bones, rather than a dedicated puppy food. If you have a puppy at home, a complete puppy food should be doing the heavy lifting, with something from the Pointer range as an occasional biscuit or treat alongside it rather than a replacement for it.
What Pointer actually is, and isn't
Pointer sits at the everyday, value end of the pet food market, and its range leans toward mixer biscuits and treats rather than a full puppy formula built around the specific nutritional needs of a growing dog. Pointer Milky Bones, which we stock in our dog treats and dog biscuits ranges, is a good example of what the brand does well — a straightforward, widely available biscuit treat rather than a complete meal in its own right.
That's not a criticism of the brand, just an honest description of what it's for. A puppy needs a complete puppy food formulated for growth, and that's a different job to the one a mixer biscuit or treat is doing.
How it fits alongside a proper puppy diet
If you already feed your puppy a complete puppy food from our puppy food range, a Pointer treat or biscuit can sit alongside it as an occasional extra, the same as any treat would — kept small relative to the size of the meal, and not swapped in for part of it.
Introduce anything new gradually and in a genuinely small amount, watching how your puppy's stools and appetite respond, and speak to your vet if you're ever unsure whether a particular treat suits a young or small-breed puppy specifically.

Common questions
- Does Pointer make a puppy food?
- Pointer is best known for mixer biscuits and treats rather than a dedicated puppy formula. If you have a puppy, a complete food built specifically for growth is the right choice for meals, with something like Pointer Milky Bones kept as an occasional treat.
- Can puppies eat Pointer Milky Bones?
- In a small amount, once a puppy is weaned and settled onto solid food, most can have an occasional biscuit treat like this. It shouldn't replace any part of a complete puppy food, which is formulated for the specific needs of a growing dog.
- Is Pointer a good everyday dog food brand?
- Pointer suits owners looking for an accessible, everyday mixer biscuit or treat rather than a premium complete food. Whether any specific product suits your dog comes down to their age, size and diet as a whole, not the brand name alone.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Pointer range?
- We stock a selection, including Pointer Milky Bones, rather than every product Pointer makes. What's shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have available to order, which can change as stock does.
