Because Nothing Says 'I Adore You' Like a Treat Made from Scratch
Whip up simple, healthy homemade treats your dog or cat will absolutely love, using ingredients and tools easily found at your favourite Pet Accessories Shop or trusted Online Pet Store.
Rainy Day Inspiration: The Start of Homemade Pet Treats
It all started on a rainy Sunday. The telly was on, the kettle kept boiling, and my furry companions—Max and Whiskers—gave me that look: “Is anything exciting happening today?”
As I sipped my tea, I noticed them eyeing the biscuit tin. That’s when it hit me—why not bake something just for them? Homemade, wholesome, and made with love. If we get biscuits with our brew, they deserve their own.
Most of the essentials were already in my kitchen, but I knew our local Pet Supply Shop and a Pet Shop Online could help with any extras like baking moulds, mixing bowls, or storage containers.

📝 Tips & Reminders
- Store treats in airtight containers (refrigerate meat/fish ones for up to 5–7 days).
- Freeze extras in small batches for later.
- Never use harmful ingredients like onions, garlic, chocolate, raisins, xylitol, or excess salt.
- Keep portions small—these are treats, not meals.
- Supervise pets with new treats, and consult your vet for dietary conditions.
