FAQs

The treats are so fresh, I recommend that they are all kept in the freezer or fridge, as they are all made with real fresh human grade ingredients and ZERO preservatives. All treats come with storage instructions. You can even feed the treats frozen too – pawfect for hot days. The cakes must be kept in the fridge too, maximum 7days (the frosting may crack but its still safe to eat). You can slice and freeze the cake too.

Generally I recommend the meat and fish based treats and all the cakes to be kept 7 days (max) in the fridge. The other treats could be kept longer in the fridge. All will last in the freezer up to 6months in airtight freezer safe bags. The bags they are sold in, are such bags. As I don’t use artificial preservatives I cannot bake treats that last longer. All treats and cakes come with guidance notes. But we advise you have a look at the treats and decide if they are still ok for your dog. All of my treats and cakes (preferably sliced) can be frozen, but once defrosted should be refrigerated and consumed within 7 days.

I use Royal Mail and only charge the cost of postage and packaging (all my postal boxes can be recycled) BUT my cakes are so fresh they have to be collected in person or delivered by hand, so only available for delivery in Merseyside

That depends on you and why you are giving them the treat, your dog and the treat. Some dog owners give them for rewarding good behaviour, some just because they like to treat their dogs regularly, and others for training purposes. Small dogs should have less than a large dog, whilst an active dog could have more than a sedentary dog. Also for instance the liver treats are very rich and if too much is given can cause stomach problems. Where as, you could get away with giving more of the vegetarian treats. You know your dog best (age, weight, activity level, diet, size and other lifestyle factors), but remember these are treats NOT regular food.

No. Gluten is the protein found in specific types of grain. Not all grains contain gluten, so gluten free food may or may not be grain free, but grain free food is always gluten free. I use gluten free flour, in my gluten free recipes. However although oats are gluten free, they may have been contaminated as they are usually processed in facilities that process wheat and barley.

My treats are healthy, but they are still only treats & must not replace their normal food.

Definitely not. I use natural ingredients, which are beneficial to dogs’ health. But I am not a vet, and these are only treats. Always discuss any changes in medication or treatment with your vet.

I use a number of organic ingredients including my home grown herbs and vegetables. But my completed treat or cakes are not totally organic.

If you want to! They are made from human grade ingredients, and cooked to human standards. But made with dogs’ taste buds in mind (very different to ours).

UK only, as my products are freshly baked and packed to order.

Dependant upon the breed, dogs have a sense of smell that is massively more sensitive than ours. So believe me, they will be able to smell them, even if you can’t. They are made with natural fresh ingredients and no artificial additives, including no artificial flavouring 

Give their owners my details so they can get their own.

Yes! For Dogs’ Sake Treats is registered and regulated by APHA and DEFRA. Which means my edible products are sent away for lab testing every quarter and my kitchen and all my records (of where & when ingredients were bought, use by dates, storage what order they were used for, my cooking records, cleaning records, sales records, lab results etc) are all inspected and checked in detail annually, for approval.

Bella & I have some tips when choosing your treats:

  • To improve recall and training? LIVERCAKE is one of the best high value treats for this (closely followed by steak & kidney). Not a meat lover? Then sardine oatcakes or cheesy bones
  • To improve coat, skin or joints? Or maybe they have a sensitive tummy. SARDINE OATCAKES. These are high in omega-3 and our most popular seller.
  • A bit of indulgence? CHEESY BONES (not suitable if lactose intolerant), made with cream, parmesan and cheddar.
  • Looking after their waistline? CARROT & COCONUT are the least calorific.
  • Too many dogs pestering you for our treats? Give their Puparents our details.
  • Something special to celebrate a special day? A PERSONALISED CELEBRATION CAKE – only available in Merseyside – made fresh to order unsuitable for posting.
  • There are plenty more to choose from. Still not sure? Then get the 30g bags of various treats to try and test? Bella and her mates say they’re all yummy.
