A treat marketed as a bakery item is being honest about what it is: this is closer to cake than to a chew, and it's worth reading it that way rather than as a functional dental or joint product.

The Barking Bakery's Mini Iced Trios are vanilla sponge, decorated with a yoghurt-style topping and a crunchy bone biscuit, packaged in a bone-shaped travel pod made from 80% recycled plastic. The ingredients are cereals, oils and fats, various sugars, milk and milk derivatives, dried egg, a vegetable-origin derivative, carob powder, minerals and salt. It analyses at 12.6% protein, 3.9% ash, 0.5% fibre and 16.1% moisture, with total oil at 7.7%.

On allergens. This contains milk derivatives and dried egg, which rules it out for a dog with a dairy or egg sensitivity — it's a genuine bakery-style treat rather than a hypoallergenic one, whatever the small pack size suggests.

Who it's for: owners who want an occasional bakery-style treat rather than a functional chew, for a dog with no known dairy or egg sensitivity.
