Chewie’s Test Kitchen operates a little differently than a typical store. Because every batch of treats is baked fresh in small quantities, orders are placed in advance and prepared on a weekly baking schedule. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about ordering, baking, pickup, and storing your pup’s treats.

Placing an order is simple. Each week Chewie features one flavor from the Test Kitchen.

At Chewie’s Test Kitchen, we believe that pets deserve treats made with simple, real ingredients.

Each recipe is carefully created using five ingredients or fewer, focusing on wholesome foods you can recognize and feel good about giving to your pet.

Depending on the weekly flavor, ingredients may include items such as:
• oats
• pumpkin
• banana
• blueberries
• peanut butter
• eggs
• ​fish

You will never find artificial preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors in Chewie’s treats.

Each flavor listed on the Treats Page will include the full ingredient list so you can easily review what’s in that week’s batch before placing your order.

🐾 Chewie personally supervises every recipe.


If your dog has known food sensitivities or dietary restrictions, please review the ingredient list for the current week’s flavor before placing an order.

While Chewie’s treats are made with simple ingredients, they are prepared in the same kitchen environment, so we cannot guarantee that treats are free from specific allergens.

Because the recipes use recognizable ingredients, some pet parents are curious enough to taste them themselves!

However, Chewie’s treats are made and sold as pet treats, so they are intended for canine or feline enjoyment.

If a child accidentally eats one, there is typically no cause for concern due to the simple ingredient list. However, they may not taste very appealing since they are made for pets rather than people.

Absolutely! Many of our customers enjoy sharing Chewie’s treats with friends, family, neighbors, or fellow pet lovers.

Because treats are baked fresh each week in small batches, they make a thoughtful and unique gift for another pup.

If you're ordering treats as a gift, simply let us know when placing your order and we can help make sure they’re packaged and ready to share.

Each bag also includes a small card so the recipient can easily learn more about Chewie’s Test Kitchen and place their own order if their pet approves.

Treats should always be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

As a general guideline, treats should make up no more than about 10% of your pet's daily food intake.

Because dogs/cats vary in size, age, and activity level, the number of treats that is appropriate will differ for each pet.

Smaller dogs may enjoy just a few pieces, while larger dogs may have a bit more. Pet parents are always encouraged to adjust treat amounts based on their pet’s individual needs.

And of course, Chewie believes every treat should be earned with good behavior or a wagging tail.
