TREATS
  • WELLBEING
  • Education

    At Laila and Me, we’re extremely passionate about doggy health and well-being. If you’ve read our story you’ll find out some commons questions like 'Can my dog eat sugar?' and 'what can't my dog eat'. We’re on a mission to educate pet-parents about the dangers of some common dog-treats, the chemicals, additives and preservatives in dog-treats, and teach you why our all-natural product is the best option for your pupperino. 

    A number of big-name brands (which we won’t mention) sell dog-treats which contain high levels of salt, sugar and ‘filler’ carbohydrates, such as cereals and hard-to-digest grains. They also advertise a particular meat, but often the ingredients list shows that there are several kinds of meat that are possibly, maybe in there. How much meat is in the product? We’ll never know.

    There are also unspecified colours, preservatives and flavours. There has been a multitude of research into artificial colours, preservatives and flavours with regard to the health and behavioural problems they can cause in humans and dogs – it’s no wonder these companies don’t want to give specifics, but this should be a massive, Saint Bernard-sized red flag – DO NOT GIVE THESE TREATS TO YOUR DOGGO!!

    Here are some ingredients you want to avoid:
    • Corn syrup
    • Artificial colours
    • Xylitol or any other sugar alcohols
    • Excessive salt
    • Propylene glycol
    • Brewer's rice
    • Nitrates or nitrites
    • Vegetable oil

    Can My Dog Eat Sugar? 

    Another ingredient you don’t want in your doggo’s treats – it can be listed under a whole range of sneaky aliases: fructose, galactose, glucose, lactose, maltose or sucrose.

    At Laila and Me we only use high-quality Australian produce, unless explicitly stated – for example, the New Zealand Sweet Lip Mussels. Our single-protein products are brilliant for puppers who may have allergies or sensitivities to particular meat-proteins. All of our products containing animal protein have the ten essential amino acids dogs need (as they aren’t naturally produced in the body), as well as other highly beneficial vitamins and minerals.

    Here’s a snapshot of some of our common beneficial ingredients:

    Whitebait: source of calcium, protein and iodine, low levels of mercury.
    Pilchards/Sardines: high quality protein, essential Omega 3 fatty acids, low levels of mercury, source of B vitamins, calcium, selenium, iodine, phosphorus, iron and vitamin A. Pilchards also contain vitamin D.
    • Venison: lean high-protein meat, low in saturated fat, high levels of L-carnitine, high levels of CoQ10, B vitamins, zinc, iron, phosphorus and selenium.
    Kangaroo: super-lean – only 2% fat (much of that being good unsaturated fat), high-quality protein, source of iron, zinc, B vitamins, L-carnitive and Omega 3 fatty acids.
    Chicken: low-fat, high quality protein, source of vitamin B3 and B6, low in sodium, source of selenium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, magnesium and iron. The bone content of chicken necks is also an excellent source of calcium.

    Now that all sounds great right, but what do those amino acids, vitamins and minerals actually do?


    • Protein: builds muscle and helps repair muscle tissue.
    • Calcium: vital for healthy bones and teeth.
    • Iodine: essential for thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolic processes such as growth and energy expenditure.
    • Omega 3 Fatty Acids: vital for the immune system and healthy skin, fur and brain.
    • B Vitamins: important for releasing energy from food, and producing red blood cells, brain health.
    • Selenium: important for the immune system.
    • Phosphorus: vital for bone health.
    • Iron: important for transporting oxygen around the body, and immune system health.
    • Vitamin A: responsible for growth, foetal development, immune function, and cell function
    • Vitamin D: essential for healthy bones and teeth. Dogs do not absorb Vitamin D from sunlight, like we do.
    • L-Carnitine: helps metabolise energy – great for weight control.
    • CoQ10: powerful anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidant.
    • Zinc: supports immune system function and thyroid function.
    • Magnesium: supports energy production at a cellular level.
    • Copper: helps metabolise iron, aids in formation of the skeletal system, facilitates enzymatic function.

    And now last, but certainly not least…an item so important it needs a whole section to itself…
    RAWHIDE.
    Did your dog get Rawhide for a Christmas treat? Or have you seen it in pet shops and just grabbed it as a cheap treat? Well grab a glass of wine, because you’re about to feel super guilty once you read the nasty truth about rawhide.

    RAWHIDE - THE NASTY TRUTH
    • Hides are stripped from the cow and soaked in chemicals to ensure it ‘preserves’ the product during transport to help prevent it going rancid or rotten enroute to the tannery!
    • At the tannery, it’s time for another chemical bath of ash-lye solution or a highly toxic recipe of sodium sulphide liming. This toxic solution disintegrates any hair or fat that may be left on the hide.
    • Next up, it’s time to make that hide shine! To make it more visually appealing to the dog owner, hides are bleached and whitened using a solution of hydrogen peroxide and bleach; this removes the smell of the rotten or putrid leather.

    Independent testing shows rawhides have been known to contain lead, arsenic, mercury, chromium salts, formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals, making them COMPLETELY unsuitable as a dog treat.

    Do your dog a favour and take the pledge, to say NO to rawhide!

    Once you take the pledge well issue you with a $10 voucher to use at Laila and Me, where you can treat your dog to a healthy natural alternatives in our dental chews.

    So happy I found these crocodile treats

    Our golden retriever has to be on a diet with novel crocodile as his protein due to possible ibd. I was so happy to find these ones as these and the croc jerky by Laila and Me are the best I've found online. These croc chips look so full of good nutrition and our golden just loooves them. They are a bit oilier than the croc jerky but will be wonderful nutrition for his coat and health.

    Crocodile jerky a hit

    This is the best crocodile jerky I have come across. Our golden retriever was put on a special diet with only crocodile as his novel protein. This is the only jerky I've found that is able to be broken up into pieces as training treats.

    My dogs loved the table scraps mixed

    My staffie says yummy thanks very much…..

    I love the surprises I get with every box. And the pups love the treats.

    Wild Rabbit Fur Twists

    My dog has loved chewing, tossing it around, playing with it till I just had to throw the last tiny bit away. She absolutely loved it. I found it in my bed, in the couch where she tries to bury things and under her bed. She had it going for over a week. As soon as it arrived she could smell them through the bag and didn’t let up till I gave her one. The best thing since sliced bread according to my dog. Thank you.

    Delicious treat

    Yet another delicious treat by Laila and Me. My dog loves these.

    Great treats

    My dog loves the parsley chicken treats. Can definitely see the quality difference between these and other brands. My pooch usually gets an upset tummy after some treats. This one he enjoys and no upset tummy. Will definitely be repurchasing. Thanks Laila and Me for creating awesome pooch treats.

    Always great!

    Murphy loves these

    I was a bit grossed out when I opened up the package of rabbit twists, but Murphy was very excited. I gave him one and he has spent the last few days slowly chewing his way through it. He even tries to take it to bed with him. (Not allowed)! So overall it was a big success and I will be ordering more in due time.

    My dogs absolutely love the parsley chicken jerky, I really wish Laila and Me would bring back the coconut hemp chicken jerky.

    Nice to have something healthy to chew for lo ger than 5 mins

    Yummo!

    Your boy thought they were disgustingly delicious. He’s also super fussy but loves his Laila and Me products.

    Cleo loved it.

    Our toy poodle loves the taste of these. Given a choice, this is her first choice.

    Freeeze Dried Raw Venison

    Our cats & doggo all love this as a treat or as an addition to a meal

    Salmon

    My dogs loved it

    First time buyer

    My dog loved this treat however it is most definitely not long lasting for larger breeds. He finished the entire treat in less than 15 mins.

    Better than a Netflix subscription

    The monthly treat subscription boxes are so great and come with a variety of treats. I don’t need to worry about heading to the shops to buy them. And my dog absolutely loves them.

    Such an easy way to add some goodness into my pupper’s meal!

    Highly recommended

    I get the subscription box for my super chewer and they’ have excellent customer service for example, super responsive to queries. My dog loves their foods, especially the parsley chicken (which I wouldn’t have known, except it was in the subscription box),and it gives me piece of mind that we know what’s in them and I can trust that they’re safe. My dog loves their variety of stuff I never would’ve thought to give her, like duck heads and crocodile.

    Puos loved the venison

    Great food for dogs and i did'nt mind it either.
    Just kiding

    Friendly to tummies

    Small but effective treat, our golden’s will eat anything, especially happy it didn’t upset our 6month old’s sensitive stomach

    Senior Support

    it's still early days for my senior girl.. She is happy to eat her dinner with it sprinkled over.

    Fabulous

    A good addition to meals or anytime treat. Both our cats & doggo love it
