Editorial assessment

Is Bell & Bone worth it?

A likeable, well-made Australian treat range, strong on dental and freeze-dried. But it lands a clear step below a single-ingredient range like The Paw Grocer: most of these are compound recipes with added binders and ingredients, and you pay a premium per treat for that broader formulation. A good everyday choice — just not the purest or simplest. Feed alongside a complete diet. Not veterinary advice.
