Question 1

Why is rawhide bad for dogs?

Accepted Answer

Rawhide is a by-product of the leather industry, chemically treated with bleaches, lyes, and preservatives during processing. It's not actually a natural chew despite its appearance. Three specific risks: it can swell significantly in the stomach when swallowed, it's a major choking hazard when chewed down to smaller pieces, and the chemicals used to treat it have raised welfare concerns in countries with limited oversight. Dogs love rawhide because it lasts a long time, but there are far better single-ingredient alternatives that achieve the same thing without the risks.

Question 2

How long should a natural chew last?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the chew, the dog's size, and their chewing style. As rough guidance: rabbit ears and small fish skins last 5–15 minutes, cow ears and small bull pizzle 20–40 minutes, large bull pizzle and beef trachea 40–90 minutes, ostrich bones and antlers can last days or weeks for slow chewers. If a chew lasts under five minutes for your dog, it's too small. If it lasts so long that it becomes a small swallow-sized piece, replace it before it gets there.

Question 3

Can puppies have natural chews?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but choose carefully. Puppies have softer teeth and developing jaws, so avoid the hardest categories — antlers, ostrich bones, and dense bone chews can damage developing teeth. Good puppy options include: fish skins (soft and high in omega-3 for skin and coat), rabbit ears, soft cow ears, and small air-dried meat chews. Always supervise puppies with new chews and replace anything they break into smaller pieces. Chewing is genuinely important for puppy development — it relieves teething pain and satisfies a fundamental biological need — so don't avoid chews entirely, just choose age-appropriate ones.

Question 4

How do natural chews help with dental health?

Accepted Answer

Mechanical friction. When a dog chews on something with the right firmness, the surface scrapes against their teeth and helps remove plaque before it hardens into tartar. The harder and longer-lasting the chew, the more dental benefit — antlers, bones, and dense meat chews are most effective. Soft chews and treats provide less mechanical scrubbing. Natural chews aren't a replacement for veterinary dental care, but regular use can meaningfully reduce plaque buildup over time, particularly for dogs that don't tolerate teeth brushing.

Question 5

Are bones and antlers safe for dogs?

Accepted Answer

They can be, but they require more care than softer chews. The risk with hard chews is fractured teeth in aggressive chewers, and bone fragments if a dog manages to break off a sharp piece. Use bones and antlers only with calm chewers, never with dogs known to have dental issues, and always under supervision. Choose appropriately sized pieces — too small is dangerous because of swallowing risk; too large can be frustrating. Whole raw bones (with marrow) are different from cooked bones, which should never be given. If you're unsure whether your dog is a suitable candidate for hard chews, start with a softer category and observe their chewing style first.

Question 6

What are the best chews for aggressive chewers?

Accepted Answer

Aggressive chewers need long-lasting, robust chews — but with care. Good options: large bull pizzle (very long-lasting, fully digestible), beef trachea, lamb necks, large ostrich bones, and antlers used under supervision. Avoid splintering options like cooked bones and any soft chews that will be demolished in minutes and either swallowed in chunks or wasted. The general rule: an aggressive chewer needs a chew that's bigger and tougher than you'd give a calm chewer of the same size. Our team can recommend specific products if you tell us how your dog typically destroys their chews.

Question 7

How often can my dog have a chew?

Accepted Answer

Daily is fine for most adult dogs, provided you account for the calories. A bull pizzle stick or beef trachea is around 80–150 kcal depending on size — for a medium dog, that's a meaningful proportion of daily intake. Reduce food portions slightly if you're giving a substantial chew daily. For high-calorie chews like fish skins, watch the cumulative effect across a week. Smaller, lighter chews (rabbit ears, vegetable chews) can be given more freely. The exception is bones and antlers, which provide minimal calories but should be limited based on tooth wear rather than energy intake.

Question 8

Why do the ingredients in dog treats matter?

Accepted Answer

Because treats add up. A dog in regular training may eat thirty to fifty treats in a session. A dog given treats throughout the day as rewards or occupiers is consuming a meaningful proportion of their daily intake through them. If those treats are built on cereals, glycerin, artificial flavouring and low-grade protein, the cumulative effect on digestion, skin, coat and energy is real — even if the quantities look small individually. Natural treats with a clean ingredient list don't just reward your dog. They contribute to their diet rather than quietly undermining it.

Question 9

What are natural dog treats?

Accepted Answer

Natural dog treats are made from ingredients you can read and recognise on the label — typically dried or air-dried meat, fish, or organ, with no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives added. At their best they're single-ingredient. At minimum, a named protein should sit at the top of the ingredient list with a declared meat percentage. If the label says "meat and animal derivatives" without specifying what or from where, that's not a natural treat — it's a processed one with a natural positioning.

Question 10

What should I look for on a dog treat label?

Accepted Answer

Three things. First: named protein at the top — chicken, salmon, duck, beef liver, not "poultry" or "meat derivatives." Second: a declared meat or fish percentage — anything that doesn't tell you how much actual meat is in it is worth questioning. Third: a short additive section, or none at all. The fewer the ingredients, the easier it is to know what you're actually feeding. Our Decode Your Label tool scores any ingredient list against these criteria if you want to check a specific product.

Question 11

Are natural dog treats suitable for dogs with allergies or sensitivities?

Accepted Answer

Single-ingredient natural treats are among the safest options for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities — one protein source, nothing else, nothing to react to. If your dog is on an elimination diet or has a confirmed allergy to a specific protein, single-ingredient treats in a novel protein they haven't eaten before are typically vet-recommended for use during the trial. We stock single-protein treats across fish, poultry, and red meat options. If you're managing a specific sensitivity, tell us and we'll point you to what works.

Question 12

What natural dog treats are best for training?

Accepted Answer

Small, soft, high-value treats that your dog will work for without slowing down a session. Size matters — training treats should be pea-sized or smaller so your dog can take them quickly and refocus. Softness matters for older dogs or dogs with dental issues. And value matters — some dogs will work for a piece of dried chicken, others need something stronger-smelling like fish or liver. JR Pet Products Pure range, Gizzls, and our own Natural Cornish Dog Treats all fit the brief for training use.

Question 13

Are natural dog treats low calorie?

Accepted Answer

Relative to processed treats, generally yes — but it depends on the treat. Air-dried meat treats are calorie-dense because the moisture has been removed, concentrating the protein and fat. A small quantity goes a long way. Liver treats and fish-based treats tend to be lower in fat than red meat options. If your dog is on a calorie-controlled diet, factor treats into their daily allowance rather than treating them as extras. A good rule of thumb: treats should make up no more than ten percent of your dog's daily calorie intake.

Question 14

How are natural dog treats made?

Accepted Answer

The most common methods are air-drying and freeze-drying — both remove moisture without high heat, which preserves nutritional value better than baking or extrusion. Air-dried treats are dried slowly at low temperatures over a long period. Freeze-dried treats are frozen and then dehydrated under vacuum, which locks in nutrients and flavour without cooking. Both methods produce treats with a long shelf life without the need for artificial preservatives. Cheaper treats use high-heat processing or add humectants like glycerin to retain moisture, which changes the nutritional profile and requires additives to maintain stability.

Question 15

Where do you source your natural dog treats?

Accepted Answer

We stock treats from brands we've vetted on ingredient transparency and sourcing — JR Pet Products, Green & Wilds, Earth Animal, and Natures Menu among others — alongside our own Natural Cornish Dog Treats, made from Cornish whitefish. Every product in our treats range is chosen against the same standard: named protein, declared source, nothing added that we couldn't justify. We choose what we stock the same way we'd choose what to feed our own dogs — by reading the label properly and asking whether we're comfortable with what it says.

Question 16

What is a natural pet shop?

Accepted Answer

A natural pet shop is an independent retailer that stocks pet food, treats, chews and accessories selected against a nutritional and ingredient standard rather than a commercial one. In practice that means prioritising high meat-content foods, named protein sources, minimal processing, and transparent labelling — and not stocking products that don't clear that bar regardless of brand recognition or margin. The Pets Larder is an independent natural pet shop based in Hayle, Cornwall. We're also an award-winning one — Independent Pet Shop of the Year 2021 — but the award matters less than what it reflects: a consistent stocking philosophy applied since we opened, not a marketing position adopted later.

Question 17

How long has The Pets Larder been in the pet industry?

Accepted Answer

The Pets Larder was founded in 2018, but the professional animal care background behind it goes back further. Our founder Katy spent a decade running an award-winning dog daycare in Cornwall before opening the shop — which means the nutritional knowledge, the behaviour understanding, and the relationships with dog owners came first, and the retail operation was built on top of them. That's an unusual foundation for a pet shop. Most retailers learn about pet nutrition through supplier training. We came to it through fifteen years of watching what different diets did to dogs in our care every day.

Question 18

Do you work with vets and pet health professionals?

Accepted Answer

We work alongside veterinary professionals and take referrals from vets whose clients are looking for dietary support that sits outside a standard clinical prescription diet. We're not vets and we don't diagnose — but we do have a working knowledge of how diet intersects with common conditions: digestive issues, skin and coat problems, joint health, urinary health, and weight management. When a vet recommends a dietary change for a dog and the owner wants help finding the right food, we're a useful next step. If you've been given dietary guidance by your vet and want help translating it into practical food choices, contact us directly.
