Let’s be honest: snacks are a big deal. I always try to buy snacks that my dogs actually love love. They will really eat anything and aren't fussy but I want them to absolutely go bonkers for the treats I offer when training.
So here are two small Aussie businesses we can’t stop raving about. Your dog’s going to fall in love (and your treat pouch might get a permanent upgrade).
🐾 SkinnyDog Pet Treats – For Dogs With Sensitive Stomachs (or Just Very Strong Opinions)
If your dog’s got a sensitive tummy, weird food allergies, or just flat-out refuses to eat anything that isn’t chicken (been there), SkinnyDog is 100% worth checking out. Their treats are all single-ingredient and air-dried, which basically means: nothing dodgy, no fillers, just actual food.
We’re talking roo jerky, lamb cubes, shark cartilage—all super simple and made right here in Australia. They smell like real food (because they are), and dogs go nuts for them.
They’re awesome for training, enrichment, or those moments when you’re like “please stop barking at the neighbour’s recycling bin and I’ll give you something better.”
Try them if: your dog has allergies, needs a clean treat option, or you just want to feel good about what you’re tossing in your treat pouch.
🐾 Nibbles & Paws – For the Dogs Who Deserve a Little Extra (aka All of Them)
Okay, if you’ve ever thrown your dog a birthday party or said “she’s not spoiled, she’s just loved,” this one’s for you. Nibbles & Paws makes the cutest handmade cat and dog treats - super aesthetic, super tasty (according to the dogs), and made with legit human-grade ingredients.
Nibbles and Paws was created to give both cats and dogs a happier and healthier life without the guilt of feeding them treats that are fill with sugar, addictives and mystery meat.
Just good ingredients and lots of love in these snacks!
Try them if: you love spoiling your dog, you like supporting small Aussie businesses, or you just want treats that feel a little bit special.
