Training goes better with a reward you can hand over fast and in small pieces, and a baked drop does that job well. These are yogurt-based and bite-sized in a jar, so they portion out easily for recall practice, for distracting a dog in a waiting room, or for the ordinary business of asking a cat or dog to do something and then paying them properly for it.

The recipe is dairy-forward, built on yogurt, milk, cranberry and cheese, and the drops are baked rather than extruded, which is what keeps them small and easy to break down for a puppy, a kitten or a small breed. Four options are listed: roasted milk skin, strawberry, grilled yogurt, and roasted milk peel with cranberry. Net weight is 100g per jar, which sits nicely in a treat pouch or a coat pocket.

On texture, and on dairy. More to the point, plenty of adult cats and dogs handle dairy poorly. Introduce a few at a time, feed in moderation alongside a balanced diet, keep fresh water down, and stop if you see loose stools.

Who it's for: Owners who want a cheap, small, high-value reward for training, and whose pet has no history of trouble with dairy.
