Biscuit is the treat you hand over without thinking about it — small, dry, countable, and it leaves nothing on your fingers. Which is exactly why buying it in a box this size makes more sense than it first sounds if you are training regularly, or if there is more than one dog in the house.

These are oven-baked wheatmeal rolls flavoured with duck and orange. The composition is cereals at 20% wheat, meat and animal derivatives including 2% duck meal, oils and fats, minerals, various sugars and derivatives of vegetable origin, and the analysis gives protein 13%, fat 11%, crude fibre 3% and crude ash 11%. Pointer add no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and their claim for the hard baked shape is that it helps keep teeth clean.

• 12.5kg box of mini biscuit rolls
• Duck and orange flavour, oven-baked wheatmeal
• Cereals (20% wheat), meat and animal derivatives (2% duck meal)
• Protein 13%, fat 11%, crude fibre 3%, crude ash 11%
• No added artificial colours, flavours or preservatives
• Pointer state suitable for all dogs over 12 weeks of age

On what you are actually buying. 12.5kg is a catering-sized box rather than a bag off a shelf, and it needs somewhere dry to live once it is open. It is also worth reading the composition in the right order: duck is 2% of it and the flavour on the front, while cereals lead the list and wheat alone is 20% — so this is a wheatmeal biscuit, not a duck treat, and it is not one for a dog you are deliberately keeping off grain.

Who it's for: multi-dog households, people training often enough to get through a bag a fortnight, and anyone who would rather buy biscuit once a year than once a month.
