Why Functional dog treats matter! Treats aren’t just about rewards—they can actively support your dog's health while still being delicious. That’s where functional treats come in.
These treats are designed with specific health benefits, helping with everything from joint support and digestion to anxiety and allergy relief whilst supporting their immune health.
At PetWell, we believe treats should do more than just taste good. That’s why we’ve created a range of all-natural, functional dog treats (also suitable for cats) to give your pet the best of both worlds—great taste and real health benefits.
What Are Functional Treats?
Functional treats go beyond the typical “snack.” Unlike generic and ultra processed commercial treats that are often packed with fillers, artificial flavours, and preservatives, functional treats contain targeted nutrients to support your pet’s well-being.
Think of them as mini health boosters that your dog will love—without them even realising they’re good for them!
Key Benefits of Functional Treats:
- Support specific health concerns (joints, digestion, anxiety, skin, coat, immunity).
- Made with real, high-quality ingredients—no artificial nasties.
- Easy to integrate into daily feeding—no need for extra supplements.
PetWell’s functional treats are freeze-dried proteins with the addition of our all-natural supplements that work to provide benefits in the following areas;
