Sugars come first, and there is no meat at all

Both compositions open with various sugars, then oils and fats, then milk and milk derivatives — and crude fat is 26% against protein of 6%, which is the profile of a confection rather than of a treat. Nothing in either ingredient list is meat. They also carry milk derivatives, so a dog that does badly on dairy should not have them. Treat these as an occasional present rather than a daily handout, and if your dog is overweight, diabetic or on a prescription diet, ask your vet before giving one at all.

Why we chose it

These sell for a reason and the reason is not nutrition: they look like a box of chocolates and they end up in gift baskets and Christmas stockings. I stock them for that job, and I would rather say so on the page than dress them up as something healthy. Eight in a box is the right size for a present rather than a habit.

Full description

There is a whole category of dog treat that is really for the owner. It looks like something from a chocolate shop, it comes in a box you would happily hand over, and it gets bought for a birthday, an adoption anniversary, or as an apology after a week in kennels. That is a perfectly good reason to buy something. It is a bad reason not to read the back of it.

So, the back of it. There is no meat in these. The yoghurt truffle paw base is various sugars, oils and fats, milk and milk derivatives, vegetables and derivatives of vegetable origin; the mini bone base swaps the vegetables for cereals and adds minerals. Both analyse at protein 6%, crude fat 26%, crude ash 2% and crude fibre 1%, and the energy is 451 kcal per 100g for one base and 457 kcal per 100g for the other. Eight to a pack.

Sugars come first, and there is no meat at all. Both compositions open with various sugars, then oils and fats, then milk and milk derivatives — and crude fat is 26% against protein of 6%, which is the profile of a confection rather than of a treat. Nothing in either ingredient list is meat. They also carry milk derivatives, so a dog that does badly on dairy should not have them. Treat these as an occasional present rather than a daily handout, and if your dog is overweight, diabetic or on a prescription diet, ask your vet before giving one at all.

Who it's for: owners buying a dog an actual present — a birthday, a Gotcha Day, a peace offering — who want something that looks the part and are clear that this is a treat in the confectionery sense of the word.

Common questions

What is actually in them?

Various sugars, oils and fats, milk and milk derivatives, and either vegetables or cereals depending on the base. There is no meat in either composition.

Are they suitable for a dog that cannot have dairy?

No. Milk and milk derivatives are in both compositions.
