Customer review: "My two dogs absolutely love their new treats and food, my eldest dog has to have a special diet, and the treats and food are all clean from any bad things for his tummy so I have two happy fur babies."

Pet Munchies are made from 100 per cent duck breast meat and are just the right size for your training sessions with your dog. They're also naturally low in fat and salt and are gluten-free. As the treats are small and soft, they are suitable for all breeds of dogs and puppies over four months.

Customer review: "I bought these for my 6 month old puppy to use for training after seeing another pup with them online. I can't stand the smell of some dog foods/treats but I'd heard that these were almost scentless so I had to give them a go. These treats are small but they're meant to be - they're for training after all. I actually cut them up even further for training walks so I can praise all I like without having to worry about overfeeding. The treats have a fantastic hard gel like texture which can be broken with hands or scissors - they don't leave crumbs in your pockets!"

Your pooch will love these practical grain-free treats as they're just enough to satisfy them during training sessions - meaning you don't need to worry about overfeeding them. They're also freshly prepared with chicken, duck and turkey meat (80 per cent) and potato and sweet potato (20 per cent). The treats (that come in 500g pouches) are a little crunchy so are recommended for pups over 16 weeks.

Customer review: "My little dog goes crazy over these treats - to the extent we now have to hide them around the house so that dog can hunt them down. Just opening the packet in another room is enough to bring excitement to our dog!"

A training treat that also helps look after your dog's dental health? We're in. These Pooch and Mutt treats have been created with duck and rosemary, and are fab for training as they are formulated with no added artificial flavour, colour or preservatives, no grain cereal, gluten, beef, soy, dairy and non-GM produce. A great treat for sensitive stomachs.

Customer review: "My dog likes these and their teeth do appear a little cleaner and her breath is less smelly. Not too sure that can be attributed entirely to these treats but sure that they have helped as improvements have coincided with their first and continued use."

Harringtons unique Meaty Treats are designed to put protein at the forefront and are packed full of all-important vitamins and minerals to make treat time all the more delicious and nutritious. With three grain-free recipes and the tasty Beef Meatballs being wheat-free, Harringtons Meaty Treats are perfect for dogs with sensitive digestion.

Tried and tested by Commercial Content Editor, Natalie Corner: "These meaty treats are great for pups over 12 weeks and my dog, in particular, loves being rewarded with these beef meatballs. They're small enough in size that they act as the perfect treat, so much so I have to hide the bags so he can't snaffle any extras!"

A reward brimming with essential protein and natural ingredients, little puppers won’t be able to get enough of these Lily’s Kitchen Chicken Nibbles with Salmon Puppy Treats. These treats boast a high meat percentage and are gently baked to achieve a chewy, flexible texture that allows you to break them into bite-sized pieces – perfect for training sessions.

Customer review: "Have literally bought dozens of these treat packs as our puppy absolutely loves them. Have tried other brands but some our dog didn’t like and some upset her tummy. These are quite expensive but feel we are not giving her junk. Very soft and meaty."

Another option from Lily's Kitchen.

Customer review: "The Organic Cheese and Apple treats are the perfect size for a healthy treat. What I really like is that they don't smell foul like most dog treats. I'm grateful for that. Great find."
