Natural Treats?

I don't actually own a dog myself but adore my dd's 2 retrievers and would like to buy them something for Xmas to keep them occupied when they come to mine, both toy wise and treat wise.
I know to avoid all the coloured treats from China.
Any recommendations for a good online company for natural dog food, treats etc and also any specific toy, not the type that you hide food in just something which they will enjoy chewing?

Paddywhack usually goes down well, hard enough to chew for a wee while, but not so hard they get bored and you can get it most places.

Toys will depend on the dog tbh, they have preferences - my current foster will only play with plush toys, nothing else at all, 2 fosters ago only played with balls... they’re not usually as extreme as that, lol, but they do have their own favourites.

These guys mangobeau.com/ are an independent business near us. Do natural, sustainable and eco friendly treats and toys. We got ours an antler to chew on which he loves. They’ve also got a discount code ( FREDDIE10) at the moment!

Don't buy paddywack it causes dogs to choke. There are lots of natural treats even in places like pets at home. Cows ears chicken feet. Look at any raw feeding website.

Mine go absolutely mad for the fish skin treats, all natural & no cereal in them in case of allergies. You can buy them in various shapes for different sized dogs, cubes, sticks etc. Lots of places sell them online, even Amazon, or you can get them at Pets at Home.
Just google dog fish treats.

Really? Damn

They’re the only thing I’ve ever found that large dogs actually chew instead of just swallowing (or ignoring in the case of things like antlers)

Well apart from whole raw frozen pigs feet... but I felt they were maybe a step far to recommend to a non dog owner, lol

The yak chews are usually popular although the large ones are quite expensive .

I get my treats from Treats2Sit4 who are a lovely small business whose treats every dog I know goes nuts for

Thank you so much everyone.
Plenty choice there.
I can't believe growing up I didn't like dogs ( probably because I was asthmatic and allergic to them) but when I reached my 40s my allergy disappeared and now I love having the dogs to stay.
So they'll have some exciting healthy treats to open on Xmas day!
