Q: What’s in it?
A: One ingredient: wild-caught sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska. Freeze-dried. That’s it. No fillers, no additives, no artificial anything.
Q: Who catches the salmon?
A: Our co-founder Nick and fellow Bristol Bay fishermen. Every fish is traceable to the Bristol Bay Fishery and season.
Q: Will it smell like fish?
A: Wild sockeye salmon is a leaner, cleaner fish than other salmon - especially farmed salmon - resulting in a milder aroma and cleaner-smelling treat. Its naturally lower fat content helps reduce the strong fishy odor common in many salmon treats.
Q: How big are the pieces?
A: Sized for the perfect high value reward - Each piece is approximately ¼” thick x ½” long.
Q: When should I give my dog Belly Bites?
A: Belly Bites are perfect for high-value rewards, whether you’re reinforcing good behavior, working on recall, or rewarding your dog on walks, hikes, and everyday adventures. Their rich flavor makes them an ideal special treat when you want the reward to really matter.
Q: Why don’t more pet treats use sockeye?
A: Wild Bristol Bay sockeye is harder to source consistently and commands a premium price. Many brands choose less expensive species to lower costs. As fishermen with direct ties to this fishery, we built Bristol Bay Bites around access to a salmon we believe is unmatched in quality—and worth doing right.
Q: Can my cat eat this treat?
A: Yes. Sockeye Snaps are made from one ingredient — wild-caught Bristol Bay sockeye salmon, freeze-dried with nothing added — so they're safe for cats too, and many customers say their cats love them as much as their dogs do. As with any treat, feed in moderation alongside a balanced diet, and check with your vet first if your cat has any health conditions (like kidney disease) that require dietary restrictions.
Q: Can I eat these treats?
A: While our freeze-dried treats are made from high-quality, human-grade ingredients, they are intended and labeled for pet consumption only. Because they are produced and marketed as pet food, we can't recommend them for human consumption.
Q: What’s your return policy?
A: If your dog doesn’t love it, contact us within 30 days and we’ll make it right.
