Natural Dog Treat FAQs & Advice

Yes, all Cloud K9 treats are made from natural, high-quality ingredients with no artificial additives, colours, or preservatives or derivatives.

We focus on simple, honest ingredients that are clearly labeled so you know exactly what you are feeding your dog. That said, every dog is different, so we always recommend choosing treats based on your dog’s size, age, and dietary needs. If you’re unsure about what is best for your dog, you can use our treat finder quiz to find the perfect natural treats and long lasting chews for your dog’s needs.

Most supermarket treats use “meat and animal derivatives”, which can include a mix of low-quality and unspecified ingredients.

At Cloud K9, we do things differently. Our treats are:

• Made from real, clearly named ingredients
• Often single ingredient or limited ingredient
• Free from fillers, additives, and artificial preservatives

We believe in only natural ingredients and products with real benefits for your dog.

No, we keep things simple.

All Cloud K9 treats are made without artificial additives, preservatives, or fillers. What you see on the label is exactly what you are feeding your dog, real, natural ingredients with nothing hidden.

Yes absolutely, when fed in moderation.

Our natural treats are designed to be part of your dog’s routine, whether that’s for training, enrichment, or simply rewarding good behaviour. Just keep overall portion sizes balanced alongside your dog’s main meals.

No. We never use rawhide and never will.

Rawhide is a by-product of the leather industry and it can be difficult to digest and may pose a choking risk. All of our chews are natural alternatives that are designed to be safe and more digestible.

Our focus is always on sourcing ingredients that are suitable for pet consumption, properly handled, and meet strict quality expectations.

Many of our long lasting chews are ideal for enrichment and keeping your dog mentally stimulated.

Longer-lasting chews can help reduce boredom, encourage natural chewing behaviour, and keep your dog settled, especially during downtime at home.

Treats should make up no more than around 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake.

If you are using treats for training or enrichment, it’s a good idea to slightly reduce your dog’s main meals to keep everything balanced.

You can also use our dog calorie calculator to get a more accurate guide based on your dog.

Yes, it’s usually a good idea to reduce regular meals slightly.

Treats still count towards your dog’s daily calorie intake, so if you are giving treats regularly, especially during training, slightly reducing meal portions can help keep things balanced and prevent weight gain.

Low fat treats can be a great option for dogs that are:

• Prone to weight gain
• Less active
• On a calorie-controlled diet

They allow you to still reward your dog when training and give them enriching activities without adding unnecessary calories.

Yes, certain natural treats can support skin and coat health.

Treats rich in nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, such as fish-based options like Sprats, can help maintain a healthy coat and reduce dryness. Because natural treats don’t contain artificial additives, they’re often a better option for dogs with sensitive skin.

Yes, protein is essential for your dog’s overall health.

High-protein treats help support:

• Muscle development and maintenance
• Energy levels
• Overall body function

Natural treats made from real meat provide a more biologically appropriate source of protein compared to heavily processed alternatives.

Hypoallergenic treats are made with limited or novel ingredients to reduce the risk of reactions.

They often use proteins like:

• Rabbit
• Duck
• Venison
• Fish

At Cloud K9 we offer a range of hypoallergenic treats and chews perfect for dogs with food sensitivities.

Many of our treats are ideal for sensitive dogs because they:

• Contain no wheat, dairy, or soy
• Use simple ingredient lists
• Include novel proteins

Always check individual product details if your dog has specific allergies.

Novel proteins such as:

• Rabbit
• Duck
• Fish
• Venison

These proteins are often better tolerated because dogs are less likely to have been exposed to them before.

Most of our treats have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months thanks to the air-drying process. Please check each individual product for expiry dates.

To make sure that your treats and chews last for as long as possible keep treats:

• In a cool, dry place
• In their resealable packaging
• Away from direct sunlight

This helps maintain freshness and texture.

We offer both standard delivery and next-day delivery (for those dog’s that don’t want to wait for their treats). Standard delivery is 3 to 5 working days.

Delivery times are shown clearly at checkout and you have the choice. Standard delivery is £3.49 (or free when spending over £39.99).

Yes, once your order is dispatched, you will receive tracking details so you can follow your delivery.
