The Snack Pawtal
An independent Tyne Valley business focusing on single ingredient and single protein dog treats.
Meal times don't have to be boring ๐ Enrichment toys and slow feeder bowls are designed to help dogs digest their food properly and will slow down those who love to inhale their food! They're also an easy way to add some mental enrichment into your dogโs day.
Oscar's having:
๐พ Mandala design enrichment bowl by SodaPup from Purple Hound
๐ฐ Dougie's raw venison complete cubes from My Pet HQ
๐ Turmeric golden paste for joint health and digestion by The Golden Paste Company from Gosforth Bark Pet Supplies
๐ณ Lintz Hall Farm egg for extra protein, vitamins A and B12, iron and amino acids all to improve skin and coat
๐ Blueberries - a low calorie snack and contain antioxidants and vitamins C and K which supports the immune system
What do you add to your dogโs meals? ๐๐ป
We're back! We haven't been far, but a little social media break was needed ๐
Most of you will know I ran the Great North Run for the first time last year to raise money for Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter, and after saying never again, I'm now counting down the days to do it all over again ๐ฌ Only 60 days to go!
Any donations would be greatly appreciated, so if you'd like to sponsor me, my fundraising link is:

It seems so obvious doesn't it, "Some Dogs Need Space". Why does your dog need space?

Another little covid throwback Thursday to end the day - at least Oscar isn't forced into making tiktoks anymore ๐๐ท
Throwback Thursday! This popped up on Facebook memories this morning. Can't believe Oscar is turning 11 soon ๐ญโค๏ธ
Who could say no to this face? ๐ฅบ๐ฅฐ We've dropped more treats off to No.6 Coffee House so there's plenty to go around! This place is a hidden gem in Ryton with the best bacon bagels ๐ฅ and since we all love finding dog friendly cafes, here's one to add to your list if you haven't visited already!
Can I have these, please? It's the last packet and it has my name on it! ๐๐ถ
Mia couldn't wait to tuck in ๐ฅฐ
Here's Mia enjoying a new addition to our range of 100% natural chews - cod and salmon sticks ๐
Adding a chewy treat to your dogโs diet can help to reduce tartar and plaque build-up, promoting healthy teeth and gums. Fish treats offer a variety of health benefits for your dog. Fish is a fantastic natural source of omega-3 โ an essential fatty acid โ which helps with coat condition, skin condition, mobility and can act as an anti-inflammatory.
One pouch contains 5 cod and salmon sticks, each measuring approximately 15cm in length, however sizes may vary.
A friendly reminder to always supervise your dog whilst feeding, especially with chews. Take away any small pieces which may be hazardous. Ensure clean, fresh water is always available ๐พ

Missing from Corbridge - if you're in the area please keep an eye out!
Still me ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Me when people tell me that they can buy just as good quality treats at B&M, home bargains, poundland etc ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ค Don't get me wrong, I love a good bargain shop but their dog treats are cheap for a reason!
My Dad has opened Viewpoint Cafe up at Vallum which is next door to his auction business Tyne Valley Auctions โ It's very dog friendly and has an amazing outdoor patio area to enjoy a coffee in the sunshine for anyone looking to try somewhere new ๐พ Open Monday - Saturday 10am to 3pm
Happy Friday! ๐ถโค๏ธ
Good choice, thank you! ๐ We love a trip to The Running Fox ๐ฆ
Waterfall Wednesday has been pawsome, we went to Linhope Spout Waterfall, then a pit stop for afternoon tea on the way home at The running Fox, can definitely advise it there, I got fuss and treats off the staff, and got to chill out in their lovely garden!! O also got spoilt to a snood and some treats to take home, but now as you can see from my last pic, itโs snoozy time after all that fun!
Hope you've all had a lovely long weekend!
We surprised my sister with a night away for her birthday on Friday, then on Saturday we took a boat tour to see the puffins and seals at the Farne Islands. Oscar really enjoyed himself (and of course he had a bandana for the occasion) I think he's still recovering from all of the excitement ๐๐
Oscar's been on his travels today with another big delivery to The Running Fox followed by a wander around Amble ๐ฆ๐ฐ
We've topped all four Running Fox sites up with:
๐ฎ Beef ears
๐ฎ Beef bites
๐ Catfish skins
๐ฆ Duck bites
๐ฆ Duck strips
๐ Goat ears
๐ Lamb strips
๐ Red bass skins
๐ฆ Venison strips
Parkrun volunteering done โ Now off to pack orders. Have a lovely weekend! ๐ฅฐ
Thank you so much, Juno! Enjoy โค๏ธ๐พ
Finally got these two owners of mine to order some delicious treats from , my favourite local small business. Of course I can already do most commands absolutely perfectly all of the time, but for these snacks I am willing to pull out the big guns. Iโll do a backflip, a handstand, anything to get my paws on these ๐พ Iโm drooling just thinking about them โจ
Cal celebrated his 14th birthday recently ๐ฅณ and even shared some of his birthday treats with his sister, Maggie ๐ถโค๏ธ

Dave's usually out on his adventures or relaxing in the pub, but tonight he managed to get his paws on some tasty treats and it's safe to say he approves ๐พ Enjoy, Dave! โค๏ธ
Better late than never! The website is finally back open. Sorry for the delay but life got in the way, however we're back up and running now ๐ A couple of things to note...
๐ A couple of new products are now available (100% sprats and cod & salmon sticks) just waiting for delivery of 100% cod skins and 100% beef rolls which will be added next week
๐ฆ Unfortunately I've had to put postage costs up to keep in line with Royal Mail. I've only ever charged their pricing structure and don't charge for boxes, packing material etc so this has only increased by 4p but still worth mentioning. Local orders will still be delivered as normal - you can find a list of delivery areas on the pop up as soon as you visit the website
๐ป Online prices may have to change in the near future - I hate to do this but costs are going up everywhere and I can no longer absorb additional costs. For now all pricing remains the same, depending on website and payment fees this may increase slightly but I'll do my best to keep this to a minimum
As always, thank you for your continued support. My focus has always been to provide dog (and cat!) owners with high quality, single protein treats that are affordable. Personally, I believe there's a limit to what people are willing to spend on all sorts of products, not just pet food, so I'll keep this in mind if anything is to change. Times are tough for everyone at the moment so please support your local and independent businesses where possible.
Thank you โค๏ธ๐พ
Hope you're all having a lovely Coronation weekend so far ๐ฌ๐ง
Whether you're celebrating or not, Oscar's taking his royal role seriously since Jack Russells are the new residents of Buckingham Palace. Did anyone else spot Bluebell and Beth on Camilla's dress? ๐ถ๐
Hope you've all had a lovely long weekend!
Oscar has been hard at work sampling some products from our latest delivery including large sprats which are back by popular demand ๐
I'm waiting for labelling to come through and updating the website stock levels and descriptions so please bear with me - hoping to have this finished in the next couple of days! Thank you for your patience ๐พ
Irresistibly good ๐
