Skipper's Pet Products: Fish Treats for Dogs

Skipper's Pet Products is a UK-based online store that sells food, treats and supplements for dogs made primarily from fish. Its range is aimed at dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and focuses on natural products, free from artificial additives and sustainably sourced.

Product Range

The range is organised into several categories. Among the treats, those made from fish skin stand out, such as Fish Skin Twists, Fish Skin Flatties, Fish Skin Cubes, Fish Finger Skins, Salmon Skin Cubes, Wolf Fish Flatties and Fish Skin Crisps. There are also training treats (Fish Training Treats), dental treats and bundles such as the Dental Bundle. Complete food includes Ocean Feast, a grain-free salmon and sweet potato dog food, and a wet food line. Supplements include fish oil for dogs, with fresh Scottish salmon oil. The store also sells meat products under the name The Farm Shop Meat Treats.

The range can be filtered by product type, by dietary needs (grain-free, low fat, high protein, single protein) and by benefits for the dog, such as dental care, skin and coat, joints, gentle digestion, soft treats, for strong chewers, puppies and seniors. There are special offers, such as discounts when buying multiple units.

Sourcing and Origin of the Fish

The company uses sustainably sourced, high-quality fish. The skins come from fish already prepared for human consumption; according to the company, they were previously discarded and are now turned into dog treats, which helps reduce waste. The flagship fish skin products, such as Fish Skin Jerky, are made in Grimsby (UK). The company states that its treats contain no artificial additives and that it uses 100% natural ingredients.

The store offers free delivery on orders over £29 and same-day dispatch for orders placed before 3pm (terms apply). It has a subscription service for regular orders and a rewards programme that lets you earn points for every pound spent, for leaving reviews or for following the company on social media, redeemable for discounts, free treats or free delivery. Customers can join a newsletter to get 25% off their first order and enter the monthly draw for a £50 voucher.
