Is delivery really included in the treat price?

Delivery is part of how we price and dispatch every order, so you don't need to hunt for a separate promotion on treats specifically — the number that matters when comparing packs is the value of the treats themselves, not the postage.

What's the best value type of dog treat?

It depends on how you use them. For frequent training rewards, a large bag of small, low-calorie treats is usually the most economical per use, while for occasional long chews, a single higher-priced natural chew can still be good value because it lasts far longer than a handful of small treats.

Why do some treat bags look cheaper but aren't better value?

A lower headline price often means a smaller bag, fewer treats, or smaller individual pieces, so the price per treat or per 100g can actually be higher than a bag that costs more up front. Checking the pack weight and treat count is the only reliable way to compare two products fairly.

How many treats a day is too many?

Treats should generally make up a small proportion of a dog's daily food intake, with the bulk of calories coming from a proper meal. If you're doing a lot of training in one session, using part of your dog's regular food ration as rewards alongside treats helps keep the day balanced.

Dog treats with free delivery

Every dog treat on Giddy Pets comes with delivery built into how we sell it, so what matters when you're choosing between packs isn't which one arrives free but which one is actually good value once you compare price against weight, treat size and how many treats you get per bag. A £3 bag of tiny training treats and a £3 bag of large chews are not the same purchase, even at the same headline price.

Why 'free delivery' isn't the useful question

Delivery being included in the price of an order is standard across most of what we sell, which means the real decision when you're buying dog treats isn't about postage at all — it's about which pack actually represents good value for the treats inside it. A bag that looks cheaper on the shelf can easily cost more per treat than a bag that looks pricier, once pack size and treat count are accounted for.

The honest way to compare two treat packs is price per 100g or price per individual treat, not the number printed on the front of the bag. Training treats in particular vary enormously in size — some packs contain hundreds of tiny pieces, others a much smaller number of larger treats — so a straight price comparison between two bags can be genuinely misleading.

What actually changes the value of a bag of treats

Ingredient quality is the first thing worth checking: a single-ingredient meat treat or a natural chew tends to cost more per gram than a mixed biscuit treat, and that difference reflects what's actually in the bag rather than markup. Neither is automatically the 'better' choice — it depends on whether you want a training reward used dozens of times a walk or an occasional long-lasting chew.

Pack size matters more than most owners assume when comparing value. A large multipack of training treats is almost always cheaper per treat than a small single bag of the same product, so if you get through treats quickly with a dog in regular training, buying the biggest pack that suits your storage is usually the better-value route rather than repeatedly buying small bags.

How to choose without overpaying

Start from what the treat is actually for. Tiny, low-calorie treats are the right choice for a training session where you're rewarding dozens of times in a row, while a natural chew or dental stick is better bought for duration rather than frequency, and comparing the two on price per treat tells you very little either way.

If your dog has a sensitive stomach, a single-protein or limited-ingredient treat is often worth the higher price per gram, because the cost of an upset stomach and a vet visit outweighs the saving on a cheaper mixed treat. For everyday training and reward, a well-reviewed bulk pack of small treats is usually the most economical way to keep a dog well supplied.
