Deciding which kind of Pointer treat is best
The first thing to consider when choosing a dog treat is the purpose. Are you looking for a high value reward, a healthier treat, or a way to keep doggo’s teeth clean?
If you want a treat to help with training, the best kind of high value reward is the one your dog covets most, so it’s worth testing a few out to see which is right.

For canines after a meaty fix, the Pointer Beef Flavoured Gravy Bones are an ideal reward for good behaviour, and cost £39 for 10kg.
If you’re looking to keep your dog’s teeth in tip top condition, choose the Pointer Grain Free Sticks. These come in a number of flavours – from Chicken to Peanut Butter, and Lamb to Duck. The longer lasting chews are a great way to remove plaque and keep teeth clean while being delicious too. Get 50 sticks for £35.50 – there’s sure to be a variety your dog loves! For even fresher breath, choose the Pointer Charcoal Enriched Bones, which are made from freshly milled wheat, and enriched with vitamins and minerals to aid your canine friend’s digestion.
