Treatable vs. Snackable

PICK THE RIGHT BITE

Is it time to train or time to snack? Let's choose the best treat for the job.

Not all dog treats are made for the same moment. Some are perfect for quick-fire training sessions - small or easy to break, and gone in a flash while still super yummy. Others are more suited to snacking - a nice gesture that says “good dog” when you’re heading out the door or just feeling generous. The difference often comes down to size, texture, and how long it takes to munch through.

And when you’re choosing between treatable and snackable, know that all our treats are 100% natural, made right here in New Zealand, and considered 'high value' by most dogs. That means your pup will be extra motivated to work for them - and variety helps keep that motivation high.

We call these two kinds of treats:

• 🦴 Treatable – Training treats: tiny, tasty, and easy to eat quickly. Perfect for learning new tricks or reinforcing good behaviour. 👍🏼
• 🦴 Snackable – Snacking treats: chunkier, crunchier, and made for enjoyment, not speed. Ideal for those 'just because you're awesome' moments. 🥰

Some treats blur the line - breakable and versatile enough to suit both treatable and snacky moments. And sometimes, your dog’s recall is so good it deserves a jackpot - a snackable treat used as a mega reward. You know your dog best.

Snackable treats also tend to work well in enrichment toys or puzzles to make the fun last longer, while treatable ones are better for quick wins in those toys.

And there’s even some overlap with the first few Easy/Quick chews from our Natural Chews Chew-o-meter. These sit right at the snackable end of the Treat-o-meter, especially for bigger dogs or those with stronger jaws.

Check out the guide below to see where each treat lands on the Treatable-Snackable Scale 📏, and find the perfect match for your pup's next moment of glory (or quiet time).

*SC: soft; can be slightly crumbly in treat pouch, but not too bad; easy to break up.
*PS: perfect treat pouch staples; can't go wrong with these.
*BR: easy to break - if not broken up for training, they become quite snackable too.
*KB: on the slightly bigger side for a training treat and not easy to break, but nice for variety.
*NB: not always easy to break - more snackable if not broken up; quite crunchy.
*OI: just a bit oily to be breaking up, but otherwise very treatable too.
*ST: just a bit stinky to be breaking up, but otherwise treatable too.
