Black pudding is the treat you bring out when nothing else is working. Blood is intensely smelly to a dog in a way that dried muscle meat simply is not, which makes these a genuine high-value reward — the kind you save for recall in a field with rabbits in it rather than for sitting in the kitchen.

The composition is 65% chicken, 20% lamb, 10% blood and 5% vegetables with permitted preservatives. They are naturally air dried and made in the UK. The analysis gives crude oils and fats 20.1%, crude protein 21.8%, crude ash 5.9%, crude fibre 0.9% and moisture 16.2%. There are 40 in the pack, and T. Forrest advise no more than one a day as a treat or reward within a balanced diet.

• 40 sticks per pack
• 65% chicken, 20% lamb, 10% blood, 5% vegetables
• Naturally air dried, made in the UK
• Crude protein 21.8%, oils and fats 20.1%
• Moisture 16.2%, crude fibre 0.9%
• Grain and gluten free

One a day, and chicken is the main ingredient. T. Forrest's own guidance is no more than one per day, which on a treat at 20.1% fat is sensible rather than cautious. And read the composition rather than the name: chicken is 65% of these and blood is 10%, so if you are avoiding chicken or working an exclusion diet, this is not the treat. Store them somewhere dry and cool, supervise, and keep water available.

Who it's for: anyone training a distractible dog who needs something genuinely more interesting than biscuit, and owners who want a high-value reward they can ration.
