Straight answers for Aussie dog owners.

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. For a medium dog (15–20kg), that's roughly 2–3 small treats or one chew daily alongside regular meals. Adjust main meals accordingly to prevent weight gain — treats count.

Kangaroo, lamb and fish are our most recommended options for allergy-prone dogs. These are novel proteins — uncommon in most commercial diets — which means most dogs haven't developed sensitivities to them.

Puppies under 6 months do best with softer treats like lamb lung slices or chicken jerky. Once teething begins, size-appropriate bully sticks are safe under supervision. Avoid very hard chews (antlers, solid bones) until adult teeth are in — they can fracture puppy teeth.
