Pointer Assorted Bones

A 10kg sack of dog biscuits is a decision about storage as much as it is about dogs — this is the pack size for households that go through treats fast enough that buying little and often stops making sense.

These are traditionally oven-baked, bone-shaped biscuits, sold in three sizes — Large, Mini and Small — so the shape and recipe stay the same and the size is chosen to suit the dog. Cereals make up the bulk of the recipe (55% wheatmeal flour), with oils and fats, meat and animal derivatives, minerals, vegetables and vegetable derivatives making up the rest, plus colourants as a sensory additive.

On what's actually in the meat. Pointer's own composition list names the meat content only as "meat and animal derivatives" — it does not say which species — so treat this as a mixed-protein biscuit rather than a named-meat one. It is a complementary food, meant as a snack between meals, not a replacement for a complete diet.

Who it's for: owners with a dog that gets through a lot of treats, or more than one dog to feed, who want a big bag of a plain, everyday biscuit rather than a small pouch of something premium.
