Wholesale Dog Treats: What to Look for Before You Switch Supplier

Switching wholesale suppliers is disruptive enough that most venues put it off far longer than they should, even when the current supplier is clearly underperforming on quality, reliability or margin.

Start with the ingredients list

Ask any potential supplier for the full ingredients list, not just a marketing summary. A genuinely natural, single-ingredient treat like Pawhawk Steak or Woof Nuts should be able to state exactly what is in the pack with nothing to clarify or caveat.

Questions worth asking before switching

Reliability matters as much as quality. A supplier who cannot guarantee consistent stock or delivery timelines will cost you more in lost sales than any margin saved by switching. It is also worth checking minimum order quantities against your actual turnover, rather than committing to case sizes that sit in a stockroom for months.

• Ask for a full ingredients breakdown, not a marketing description
• Check delivery reliability and minimum order quantities
• Compare margin at your actual sell price, not just wholesale cost
• Request a trial pack before committing to a full order

Making the switch

Our wholesale treat range and 10-case range are built for exactly this kind of comparison, with a Venue Starter Pack available if you want to trial before committing. Get in touch through partnerships to talk through pricing.
