Sarah-Jane White Petto Smart Nutrition has taken the canine treat market by storm with its innovative and planet-friendly approach to dog treats. As a devoted pet parent, I recently had the pleasure of trying out their new range of high-protein plant-based treats on my 10-year-old French Bulldog, Dolly. In this review, I’ll share our experience with the different varieties, the impact on Dolly’s sensitive stomach, and the overall benefits we observed from incorporating these treats into her daily routine.
Ingredients and Health Benefits
Petto Smart Nutrition’s commitment to providing healthier diets for dogs is evident in their thoughtfully selected ingredients. The treats are entirely meat protein-free, featuring high-quality human-grade plant and insect-based proteins, making them suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs like Dolly. The four varieties cater to specific needs, and we sampled them all.
– Jump and Run (Carrots, Coconut Oil, and Turmeric): This variant aims to support joint care. The combination of carrots and turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for older dogs like Dolly. We observed no adverse effects on her sensitive stomach.
– Kiss Me Again (Peppermint, Sweet Potato, and Blueberry): This treat promises to tackle bad breath with the help of peppermint. Dolly enjoyed the taste, and the natural sweet potato and blueberry flavours were a hit.
– Take It Easy (Crickets, Chamomile, and Pumpkin): Designed to calm and relax, this treat includes chamomile, which can help dogs like Dolly manage anxiety and stress. However, we noticed a slight increase in flatulence, likely due to the cricket protein.
– Let’s Do It (Crickets, Cashews, and Cranberries): Offering a boost of energy, this variety features cashews for added protein and cranberries for a delightful burst of flavour. It became a close second favourite for Dolly, though the cricket content again led to mild flatulence.
Fun Fact: Petto is the Japanese word for Pet
Packaging and Sustainability
Petto Smart Nutrition deserves applause for their eco-conscious approach. The treats are slowly baked in a real bakery, ensuring a quality product for our beloved companions. The use of recyclable, eco-friendly packaging reflects their commitment to reducing their environmental impact. Additionally, their subscription service offers a 20% discount, encouraging regular deliveries and reducing packaging waste.
Dolly’s Verdict
Dolly is a discerning eater, and it was a delight to see her savouring the crunchy texture of these treats. Her favourite was undoubtedly the Jump and Run variety, likely due to the satisfying combination of carrots, coconut oil, and turmeric. As a pet parent, knowing that I’m providing her with a wholesome, protein-rich treat that she enjoys is immensely gratifying.
Impact on Dolly’s Health
While we didn’t observe any drastic changes in Dolly’s overall health or energy levels, it is reassuring to know that we are offering her a treat range thoughtfully tailored by experts in pet nutrition. The fact that the treats are protein-rich and cater to her sensitive stomach makes them a preferable alternative to many other commercial options.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Petto Smart Nutrition dog treats have earned a thumbs-up in our household. The brand’s dedication to creating healthier diets for dogs while prioritising sustainability is commendable. Although the insect-based varieties led to mild flatulence in Dolly, the plant-based options were a perfect fit for her sensitive stomach. As a pet parent, I highly recommend giving these treats a try, not just for the health benefits they offer but for the knowledge that you are making a positive impact on both your furry companion and the planet.

Eduardo Salazar and Julio Guijarro started their careers designing and launching high-quality products in different categories, including food and pet food. While working in Japan, they were struck by the freshness and purity of food available, with the country boasting one of the healthiest diets in the planet. They were inspired to launch PettoSmart Nutrition, with a mission to transform dogs’ diets so that they can live healthier and fuller lives. The use of plant and insect-based protein instead of meat-based protein, and the use of recyclable packaging, also help the sustainability of our planet. Eduardo comments: “It is our passion to make a difference in dog’s diets while helping to preserve the planet, so the launch of our Petto Smart Nutrition dog treats range is just the start of this journey, with more products due to be launched in the near future. We know people will treat their dogs and we felt there had to be a way of making treats that are a healthier alternative.” |
