FAQs

WELCOME TO THE BUGSY SHOP!! 

    1. How often and how much should I give my dog Bugsy’s Treats?

Treats are best given in between meal times. Smaller dogs can start off with 1 or 2 treats while larger dogs can have 2 to 3, daily. Always ensure they have access to water while having treats. If the animal is digesting it well, more can be given on the next occasion. Our treats are made with high grade proteins with no grain or carbohydrate fillers and hence its ok for the occasional over indulgence as an extra treat after a visit to the dog park, on a hike, at the beach or just lazing around at home! 
  1. How much is the recommended Bugsy’s Treats serving size?

When introducing a new protein to your pet's digestive system, start with a small portion (like 2) and slowly increase the portion as you go. Larger breeds are happy to take 4 or 5 in one go! Most of our treats can be broken up into smaller pieces if you think it’s too big for your pooch.  

  1. Which treat would be best to give my dog while training?

Our freeze-dried range (I’ve Got the Power, Moo Moo, Catch Me if You Can, Running Wild) can be easily broken into training size treats and are easy to carry around! Medium to large pups can try our bite-sized Fish Nibbles treats! Check out our products here.  

  1. Oops. As a human, I “accidentally” ate a bite of Bugsy’s Treats. What will happen?
No worries, we ourselves have already tasted it! But if you must try it for yourself, you will find it very meaty and may require a bit of seasoning. This is because we don’t add sugar, salt, and any artificial flavourings to our treats — all-natural is what we’re all about! Although we use human grade ingredients, we made the treats to please your dog. 
  1. Is Bugsy’s Treats for all kinds of dogs—from puppies to senior dogs?

Yes! Puppies should be showered with love and treats, especially as positive reinforcement during the training process. Just make sure to always have water ready while feeding and break up the treats into smaller pieces before giving it to your little buddy!

For Senior dogs, we recommend an anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic treat like Catch Me if You Can, and our immune system super booster, I’ve Got the Power! PLUS our fabulous anti-aging and senior pet support Cordy Kang.  (Low fat, high protein Kangaroo with Cordyceps)

Cordyceps which is so good for its ability to improve respiratory health, increase oxygen uptake, boost heart health, detoxify the body, and prevent certain types of cancer.

It slows the aging process, increases energy, and improves the immune system. Is there anything it does not do???!! 

These can be easily broken up and are soft making it great for senior dogs who prefer a lighter chew. Choose the perfect Bugsy’s Treats for your buddy here!

We keep it local, sustainable, and ethical. Our meats are ethically-farmed or wild-caught through government-approved methods. All from the green pastures of the Australian country to the pristine waters of Australia! No chemicals, no radiation, no toxins. 
  1. Can you tell me more about the Ancient Australian Indigenous and Chinese wellness herbs?

When it comes to treats, it’s no secret that dogs love meat. We’re taking this a notch further by enhancing our premium meats with superfoods that are proven to contain healing properties! This makes every bite of Bugsy’s Treats not only tasty, but healthy for your barkin’ buddy!  

  1. Can Bugsy’s Treats replace dog food?

Our treats are designed to be your pet’s reward for good behaviour, for reaching training milestones, and to #TreatThemWell!  Although it has the best type of proteins for your canine and feline pal, one pack of Bugsy’s Treats does not contain the complete spectrum of nutrients they require on a daily basis. These pet superfoods are a bit like us taking our vitamins in the morning - keeps us tip-top, younger longer and stronger.  

  1. How do I store an opened bag of Bugsy’s Treats?
Easy! Just make sure to zip up the pack tightly after each treat time, then pop it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (that’s out of reach from your pet)! 
  1. How long does an opened bag last before it goes bad?

Each bag should be good up until the date indicated at the back of each pack when stored properly. But if you regularly #TreatThemWell!, this really wouldn’t be a problem!
