Discover an exciting range of freeze-dried treats for dogs and cats, handmade in Sydney in small batches by a qualified vet nurse.

From meat and seafood to fruit, vegetables, novel proteins and meal toppers, Pookie Pets makes it easier to find something your pet will love. Our treats can be used for training, enrichment, rewards or adding flavour and variety to your pet’s regular food.

Freeze-Dried Dog Treats

Our freeze-dried dog treats include high-value meat and seafood rewards, lightweight training treats, crunchy enrichment options and colourful fruit and vegetable toppers.

Many products can be broken into smaller pieces for training, recall practice, puzzle toys and snuffle mats. If your dog has food sensitivities, choose a simple ingredient option and introduce one new protein at a time.

Always consider your dog’s size, chewing style, health and individual dietary needs when selecting a treat.

Freeze-Dried Cat Treats

Cats often love the natural aroma and flavour of freeze-dried meat and seafood. Our collection includes chicken, duck, kangaroo, seafood, organ meats and other tempting options that can be offered as occasional rewards or crumbled over your cat’s regular food.

Break larger pieces into an appropriate size before feeding. Because cats have different nutritional needs from dogs, always check the individual product description to confirm that the ingredient is suitable for your cat.

Choosing the Right Treat

Choose meat or seafood when you want a highly appealing training reward or savoury meal topper.

Fruit and vegetables can provide a light, crunchy option for suitable pets, while novel proteins may offer more variety for animals with particular preferences or sensitivities.

Not every product in this collection is suitable for every dog or cat. Check the ingredient list, species guidance and feeding information on the individual product page before purchasing.

Feeding and Storage

Feed treats occasionally as part of a complete and balanced diet. Treats and meal toppers should not replace your pet’s regular food unless advised by a veterinarian or qualified animal nutrition professional.

Introduce new foods gradually, supervise your pet while eating and ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Reseal the bag after opening and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Follow any additional storage instructions shown on the product packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dogs and cats eat the same freeze-dried treats?

Some single-ingredient meat and seafood treats may be suitable for both dogs and cats. However, their nutritional needs are different, and not every product will suit every animal. Always check the individual product description before feeding.

Are freeze-dried treats suitable for training?

Many freeze-dried treats are lightweight, aromatic and easy to break into smaller pieces, making them useful for training and recall rewards. Choose a size and texture appropriate for your pet.

Can freeze-dried treats be used as a meal topper?

Yes. Suitable treats can be broken, crumbled or powdered over your pet’s regular food to add flavour, texture and variety. Meal toppers should complement—not replace—a complete and balanced diet.

Do Pookie Pets treats contain preservatives?

Our single-ingredient products contain only the ingredient listed on the bag. For blends and meal toppers, check the individual product page for the complete ingredient list.

How many treats should I feed?

The appropriate amount depends on your pet’s size, regular diet, health and the specific product. Treats should only make up a small portion of their overall diet. Ask your veterinarian for personalised feeding advice if your pet has a health condition, allergy or prescribed diet.
