Did you really make Easter Eggs for dogs?!Updated 20 days ago

We really did! Our limited-edition Years Easter Eggs are here — and yes, they're every bit as exciting as the ones you'll be hiding from yourself in the back of the cupboard.


🥚 Is this ‘real’ chocolate? 

Nope, as typical chocolate is not safe for dogs. Our Easter eggs are cocoa-free. Instead they are made with carob, a naturally dog-safe ingredient that looks and feels like chocolate but contains none of the theobromine that makes real chocolate dangerous for dogs. 


🍖Who is Barry Colenso?

Barry is a master chocolatier and expert on all things chocolate. In a career that has spanned over 40 years, he has worked as a Head of Patisserie at a top London hotel, Master Chocolatier at Thorntons and made cakes for royalty, being the man behind the chocolate wedding cake created for Prince William & Catherine Middleton’s wedding.


🍌What flavours are included?

You get three eggs in each box:

🍓Berry Shortbread (freeze-dried raspberry with fruity shortbread pieces)

🥥Coconut Berry (dried coconut with freeze-dried strawberry)

🥜 Nutty 'Nana (crushed peanuts with banana slices).

Three eggs, three very different tail wags.


🥜Does it contain any allergens?

Yes, the Nutty 'Nana egg contains peanuts, and the product as a whole is flagged as containing nuts. 

If your dog has a known nut-sensitivity, this one's best avoided.

These eggs are not made with cocoa and made with carob instead which is safe for dogs


🐶How should I feed the egg to my dog?

We recommend that you don't give a whole egg in one go. 

Break it into smaller pieces and feed according to your dog's size. 

Remember, treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake, so think of this as a special Easter moment rather than a meal replacement.


📅When will I receive these Easter Eggs for my dog?

At the moment you can order as a one-off purchase - but you will be able to add one to your subscription from next week (week commencing March 23rd)


🥚🥚🥚How many Easter Eggs does my dog receive in this product?

This product contains 3 x 60g Easter Eggs for your dog to enjoy


🔥How many calories do the eggs have? 

Each egg contains 360kcal and the total for all three is 1080kcal
