Drooling over the crinkling sound of a treat packet before it has even opened. That’s the power treats hold over our dogs! Think about it - impatient barks, wagging tails and those wide eyes fixated on the treat in your hands. They’d do anything just to have a bite.
Dog treats are yummy snacks but they represent so much more for our furry companions. They’re associated with the bond you share with your pet, the best motivation for training, and sometimes a new flavour is a delightful change to what they feel is a boring day. Always in our budget, dog treats can also be used in different dog-friendly recipes, making every small occasion a special one.
In the home of HUFT, where we believe pets to be families, the hunt for the perfect treat becomes a mission of love. Our team at Innovation and Manufacturing Centre, led by scientists, nutritionists and food technologists, have spent countless hours trying to perfect every recipe so each nibble has optimum nutrition, taste and meets the industry standards.
So we went to our records and curated the top 10 treats for dogs in 2024 that your dogs have shown the most love to over the years!
Rumour has it that once your dog has one, they won’t stop asking for more! Our HUFT Yummy In My Tummy dog biscuits have a reputation true to its name. Our most extensive range of treats, we have 11 variants in chicken, fish, egg, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Oven-baked for easy digestion and free of artificial flavours makes them healthy for all dogs.
Chai time or training days, these bite-sized dog treats can be broken easily before your dog gobbles them up. They’re also perfect for mental stimulation games. Just hide them in their snuffle mats and let your dog find them!
It’s 2024. It’s time we said no to rawhide bones. Made of hides of cattle (commonly known as animal leather), rawhide bones are put through high temperatures and bleached with chemicals. Full of toxins, they can cause digestive distress, intestinal blockage and even choking!
HUFT Yakies Chew Bones for dogs are a healthier and vegetarian alternative. It uses an ancient Himalayan recipe where cheese from fresh milk is smoke-dried for 35 days without being exposed to any preservatives. The final product is 100% natural, organic, non-staining and long-lasting, making Yakies the healthiest snack for your dog they can enjoy for hours.The inspiration behind HUFT, our beautiful in-house doggo Sara loved her treatos. Instead of feeding her highly-processed dog treats that offered little or no nutrition, we promised to make her snack breaks healthy with our own range of 100% natural dehydrated dog treats.
Sara’s Dehydrated Doggie Treats are a promise that we now share with dogs all over the country. We’re filled with joy that today it’s a household name and a treat that’s simply irresistible! Available in a range of 12 all-natural variants, these treats are also grain and hormone free making them perfect for dogs of all ages, especially if you’ve got a senior dog at home.
How are these treats made?
Made with love: Each batch is made with human-grade ingredients in our own kitchen in limited quantities.A jar full of goodness, these dog cookies are made with all-natural healthy ingredients that are slow-baked to retain their nutrients. No added colours, only natural preservatives. Goat milk is high in probiotics, protein, vitamins and fibre.

They’re also gluten-free which makes them easy to digest and suitable for dogs of all ages!
Now if you’re wondering, why choose these specific superfoods as ingredients? Here’s why they’re good for your dog:
Did you know that most soft chew sticks for dogs are made using a hot extrusion process which compromises their nutritional value and quality? HUFT Yum Nums Soft & Chewy Sticks for dogs on the other hand, is made using a cold extrusion process. This process ensures that the real ingredients used do not lose their nutritional value, leaving behind a healthy and minimally processed treat!
Made with real ingredients and loaded with protein, Yum Nums ticks all the right boxes. So treat your pet without any guilt. Plus, they have a tender and chewy texture, making it a great dog training treat. Break it down and reward your dog with yumminess!
While they can be enjoyed by dogs of all ages and breeds, they are particularly an ideal choice for teething puppies, dogs with sensitive teeth or senior dogs who have difficulty chewing. Go on - nom-nom on Yum Nums and its 7 all-natural yummy variants.
Next on the list is a treat that’s from the same range as Yakies! On our research, we were pleasantly surprised to see how much you loved our insider tip of microwaving the last bits of the treat. This got us thinking - why should we make our dogs stop having fun at just one crunchy puff?
HUFT Yakies Puff Bites For Dogs are the last bits of Yakies magic, in a puff! Made with the same recipe, these are crunchy and easy-to-digest treats that give the same benefits. The only difference is that we’ve packed all the fun in the crunch! We first make Yakies in small bits which are then heated so they puff up, giving them a light and crunchy texture. Their small size makes them perfect for training!
Our trio of newly launched treats for dogs are soft on the inside and nutritious on the outside! HUFT Chewbarks Soft Chew Strips Treats are made with real chicken and come in Grilled Duck, Roasted Lamb and Smoked Chicken flavours. Their stronger taste and smell makes them a sensory delight to dogs (and really hydrating).
Easy to chew and digest, these are a great pick for all doggies, especially seniors, teething pups and those with dental issues. Gluten-free and baked to perfection, HUFT Chewbarks are also high in protein, low in fat and just the right munch for treat time.
