Dog Treats
Reward your dog with his delicious dog treats
Dog Treats
Dog treats aren’t just tasty snacks, they play key roles in training, bonding and dental health. The right treat can turn obedience exercises into fun games, reinforce good behaviour, and even freshen your dog’s breath. For example, dental chews and gnaws help remove plaque and promote healthy teeth, while soft training treats reward puppies and adult dogs during lessons. Treats also strengthen your bond: giving your dog a special reward makes them feel loved and encourages trust.
We stock every kind of treat an Irish dog owner might need. Our Training Treats are small, flavorful bites ideal for teaching new tricks and reinforcing commands. Dental Chews and sticks (like Whimzees and Pedigree Dentastix) support oral care and help clean teeth. Nature-lovers will find Natural Treats (like Tribal) and Long-Lasting Chews (yak sticks, bone chews) that satisfy your dog’s chewing instincts, these keep pups busy and can curb boredom and bad habits. We also carry Puppy Treats that are extra gentle on young mouths (soft, easily digestible varieties), Grain-Free Snacks for dogs with sensitivities, and Hypoallergenic Treats for pups with allergies. Calming treats (with chamomile or CBD) can even help anxious dogs relax during storms or fireworks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the healthiest dog treats?
Healthy treats are made from natural, limited ingredients—e.g., single-source meat or fish, freeze-dried bits or air-dried jerky, and real veggies or fruits. Look for “no additives”: avoid treats with sugar, artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. Ingredients like real chicken, beef or salmon are best. (Tip: Fruit slices, plain yogurt drops or cooked sweet potato slices can be nutritious home-made treats.)
Are dental chews effective for dog breath and teeth?
Yes. Regular dental chews (designed to clean as your dog gnaws) can significantly reduce plaque and tartar buildup and freshen breath. Petworld’s page notes that dental treats “offer oral care & promote healthy teeth.” For best results, use them daily, and choose appropriately sized chews for your dog’s mouth.
What treats are best for dog training?
Use small, soft, highly palatable treats that your dog finds extra tasty. The idea is to reward instantly, so treats like mini chicken bites, cheese pieces, or specially formulated training treats work well. Petmania highlights that treats are “the integral motivator of many training routines.” Give a treat each time your dog follows a command; over time you can reduce the size as their behavior improves.
Can puppies have chew treats or bones?
Puppies can have treats, but they need to be gentle on developing teeth. Choose puppy-specific treats or break adult treats into small pieces. Soft teething sticks and simple biscuits are ideal for young pups. Our site notes puppy treats are “softer, easily digestible treats that are gentle on young teeth.” Avoid very hard chews (like large raw bones or heavy nylabones) until your puppy’s teeth are stronger.
What are the benefits of grain-free dog treats?
Grain-free treats replace wheat, corn or other grains with ingredients like potato, peas, or sweet potato. They’re beneficial for dogs with grain sensitivities or allergies. Many grain-free treats also tend to be higher in meat protein. Petworld’s treat collection explicitly includes “grain-free options” for dogs with special diets. Even for dogs without allergies, grain-free can be a healthy choice.
Are long-lasting chews good for my dog?
Absolutely. Long-lasting chews (antlers, yak milk bars, beef knuckle bones, etc.) satisfy a dog’s instinct to chew and can prevent boredom. Zooplus notes that dog bones and chews “keep your pet busy.” These durable treats take your dog longer to eat, promoting longer engagement and chewing activity. They also provide some dental abrasion to scrape off plaque. Always supervise chew time, and pick a size/durability appropriate to your dog.
