VioPet® Natural Dog Treats

Hi Mia,

You can start using them now - I would recommend maybe the chicken or duck strips cut into smaller pieces for training treats (or even try our bite size meaty Training Treats), or you lcan leave them whole and hopefully they'll keep him entertained for a little while! The Chicken Breast Fillets are bigger and take more chewing, and if you'd like something that's more of a challenge, the Tripe sticks will last the longest :-)

Introduce new treats slowly - maybe just one strip or fillet per day to begin with so his gut gets used to any changes. We wouldn't expect there to be a problem but this should minimise any chances if he is a bit sensitive.

Hope this helps :-)

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

I do apologise for the delay in getting back to you. There is approximately 220 calories per 100g.

I do hope this helps.

Hi Val,

Our treats have resealable bags, so they will stay fresher for longer and you can use them up to the expiry date printed on the packs. If the bag does last a long time the Training Treats may become slightly firmer due to moisture evaporating but they will still be safe for your dog.

Both types of treats are naturally high in protein and low in fat, so you shouldn't need to worry about quantities too much - you can adjust to suit your dog.

I have a 6.5kg terrier and he usually gets 2-3 dried chicken/duck strips per day and when we go on walks he'll probably get around 10. I often break the training treats in half too for training sessions :-) You can adjust to give more or less depending on your dog's activity levels and whether they usually gain weight easily. Stewie doesn't gain weight easily so I can feed them fairly freely.

Hope this helps & he loves his new treats!

Kind regards,
Danielle

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks very much for getting in touch. Our dried treats are produced by gradually drying in heated chambers, and high temperatures reached in the drying process which will greatly reduce the bacteria in comparison to raw treats. The dried tripe we have is also passed through a gamma radiation machine after drying to kill bacteria so should be very safe too.

I hope this helps and you find something your dog loves! You can get 10% off our whole Own Brand range including the treats until midnight Sunday 17th Feb with the code VLOVE :-)

Best wishes,

Danielle

Hi Catherine,

Yes these are suitable - for smaller breeds I'd recommend the Chicken Strips as they can be easily broken into smaller pieces, or given whole as a chew. The Chicken Breast fillets will take them longer to eat so would be good when they're teething too.

Any of the products would be suitable though :-)

Kind regards,

Danielle

Hello!

Thank you for your question,

One of the natural preservatives in our treats could possibly have some effect on blood sugars. As we cannot say for sure, we would advise to rather choose a freeze dried treat as these do not need to use any extra preservatives due to the freeze drying process. One of our most popular freeze dried treats are the Thrive ProReward which are 100% meat or liver, without any preservatives.

I hope this helps!

Hi John,

The tripe is dried so will last very well once opened. I still keep mine in air tight tupperware as it smells very strong, but you could roll down the top/wrap the bag tightly and put a big elastic band around it instead if you don't have a container big enough. If kept in a cool, dry place, there should be no problem if it takes your dog a few months to get through the bag.

I hope your dogs enjoy our tripe sticks! :-)

Kind regards,

Danielle

Hi John,

Our treats are manufactured by our partner in Belgium, who sources all meat from EU farms.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sue,

Dogs with pancreatitis need to avoid a high fat content in their diet, and VioPet treats are naturally very low in fat, so they should be suitable for her. I'd recommend asking her vet first if you're unsure, and introduce dietary changes gradually so you can monitor her response.

The VioPet Chicken Strips can be easily broken into small pieces to introduce slowly (or use as training rewards) so they would be good to try.

If she is usually fine with dried meat treats, she should enjoy VioPet without any problems :)

Hi Debbie,

We source all of our VioPet treats from Belgium. We have a sister company operating in Berlin, who has been working with the manufacturer for a number of years, so we have partnered with them too. I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Danielle.
