Puppy Treats

No treat from Sniff and Shift carries a puppy label, but its freeze dried cheddar, made in small batches in Malvern from New York cheese, breaks into small pieces by hand and is the nearest house option.

The puppy treats here come from independent makers, and most are baked biscuits and crunchy bites, a few of them shaped for a birthday. Judge the piece before anything else: if you can snap it or cover it with a thumbnail, you can reward often without handing over much at a time. Where a listing gives an age line, it is the maker's own, so read it before choosing. For breeds that stay small, the small dog treats page lists petite and teenie sizes.
