Ruffingtons dog treats
Ruffingtons is a UK dog treat brand built around bakery-style shapes — biscuits, doughnuts, eclairs and cupcakes made for dogs rather than people. We stock a selection from the range as part of our treat aisle, sitting alongside the more conventional biscuit and chew brands either side of it.
What makes Ruffingtons different
Where most dog treat brands stick to familiar biscuit or chew shapes, Ruffingtons leans into a bakery theme — treats styled as doughnuts, eclairs, cupcakes and biscuit paws rather than plain bones or biscuits. It is a novelty angle as much as a nutritional one, aimed at owners who like a treat that looks the part for a photo or a special occasion as well as one their dog enjoys.
Our shelves carry a selection including the Biscuit Paws, Marbled Dog Snaps, Dog Doughnuts, Dog Eclairs, Terrier Truffles and Canine Cupcakes, giving a reasonable spread of the bakery-style shapes the brand is known for.
Who it suits
Ruffingtons suits owners looking for a fun, visually distinctive treat for birthdays, Christmas stockings or simply a change from the usual biscuit, rather than a specialist functional treat aimed at dental care or training. As with any treat, they should be given as an occasional extra rather than a meaningful part of a dog's regular diet.
The bakery styling also makes the range a popular choice for anyone marking a specific occasion for their dog, rather than restocking an everyday treat tub, and the shapes photograph well if that matters to you as much as it does to plenty of owners sharing their dog's day online. A mixed selection, such as the Canine Cupcakes or Terrier Truffles, also works well as a small gift on its own rather than needing to be bundled with anything else.
We stock a selection from the range rather than the brand's full catalogue, so what is currently available to order can change. Whatever treat you choose, check the size is appropriate for your dog and introduce anything new gradually, watching for any change in appetite or stools the first time your dog tries a new treat, the same sensible approach worth taking with any unfamiliar food.

Common questions
- Are Ruffingtons treats suitable for all dogs?
- They are general treats rather than a specialist or life-stage-specific line, so most adult dogs can have them as an occasional extra. As with any treat, check the size suits your dog and keep portions modest alongside their normal complete food.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Ruffingtons range?
- No, we stock a selection covering several of the brand's bakery-style shapes rather than every product Ruffingtons makes. What is currently available to order can change as our stock does.
- Are Ruffingtons treats good for training?
- They are more of a novelty or occasional treat than a small, quick-reward training treat, given their size and bakery-style shapes. A dedicated training treat, sized for repeated giving, tends to work better for that specific purpose during a training session.
- How should Ruffingtons treats be stored?
- Keep them in a sealed container or their original packaging, somewhere cool and dry, the same as any baked-style dog treat. Checking the use-by information on the pack is worth doing, since bakery-style treats can have a shorter shelf life than a hard biscuit.
