Bell & Bone
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.
Melbourne-made, Australian-owned grain-free treats across dental sticks, freeze-dried and training rewards. The recipes are likeable and the labels are reasonably clean — but it sits a clear notch below the purest treats: most products are multi-ingredient compound recipes (the dental sticks rely on binders and added ingredients to hold their shape) rather than the strict single-ingredient simplicity of the category's best, and the price per treat is on the high side for what's a broader formulation. Good, popular, well-marketed — just not as pure or as simple as a single-ingredient range.
