Lamb tends to be the protein owners reach for when a dog has struggled with chicken or beef, which makes the meat percentage on the pack more important than it would be on a treat picked for flavour alone.

These are Wagg's Lamb Chop Treats, oven baked and made in North Wales. Lamb meal makes up 26% of the recipe, alongside wheat, glycerine, vegetable oil, dehydrated potato (4%), dehydrated peas (4%), minerals, gelatine and whey powder. They come in a small 25G pack, suitable for dogs from 8 weeks old. The analysis is 20% protein, 8% fat, 2% crude fibre, 11% crude ash and 18% moisture.

On the pack size. At 25G this is one of the smallest treats we carry, so if you're buying it as a regular reward rather than a one-off, it's worth checking that against how quickly your dog gets through treats. It also contains wheat, so it is not a grain-free option despite lamb being the headline protein - a dog with a grain sensitivity would need something else.

Who it's for: owners moving a dog onto lamb as an alternative protein, and anyone training a puppy from 8 weeks old who wants a small, bite-sized reward.
