Frequently Asked Questions
BUGSY’S
Which treat would be best to give my dog while training?
The trainers we work with consistently reach for our Beef and Chicken Air Dried as their go-to training treat, and it's easy to see why. Unlike many commercial training treats, our air dried range is significantly lower in starch and carbohydrates, meaning your pup gets all the reward without the unnecessary extra calories.
Already broken into training-sized pieces and easy to carry, our full air dried range, spanning Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Kangaroo, makes rewarding good behaviour as convenient as it is nutritious. For medium to large pups, our bite-sized Little Fish treats are another great option to have on hand during training sessions.
Whether you're working on basic commands or more advanced training, having a treat your dog genuinely goes crazy for makes all the difference, and a treat that's better for them makes it even easier to reward generously.
Why do some Emu treats have a slight green tinge?
Our emu is human-grade, meaning it meets the same strict standards required for meat intended for people. Under Australian food safety regulations, human-grade emu is stamped with an edible green dye to clearly identify it as approved for human consumption.
If you notice a faint green tinge on some treats, this is simply the food-safe identification stamp. It is completely safe, tasteless, and not a preservative, mould, or artificial additive.
What is your most popular treat?
Our in-house made functional treats, including our Joint Care and Moo Moo, are some of our most loved products, available exclusively at Bugsy's.
We also craft our own Bully Sticks in-house, bringing the same care and quality you'd expect from Bugsy's to one of the most popular treats around.
Because when it comes to your little one, we believe every treat should be made with love.
Is your air-dried food suitable for puppies?
100%! All of our air-dried foods are suitable for dogs of all ages. For puppies, we recommend our Beef or Chicken recipes to provide the extra calories they need to grow.
Please check the feeding guide on the back of the bag for recommended portion sizes based on age and weight.
Is your pet food human grade?
Yes! All our treats are made with human grade ingredients, all while being a tasty treat for your dog! If you wish to try it for yourself, you might find some seasoning is required.
As we don’t add sugar, and any artificial flavourings to our treats
All-natural is what we’re all about!
How do you source your meat?
We keep it local, sustainable, and ethical. Our meats are ethically-farmed or wild-caught through government-approved methods.

What pet food is low in fat?
Our Kangaroo Air-Dried contains less than 10% fat, and is suitable for any dog or cat requiring a high protein, low fat diet.
