So, when a box of goodies from Ruffingtons, a brand dedicated to delightful dog treats, arrived at our doorstep, tails started wagging and noses began twitching with anticipation!

Spoiler alert: our pups thought they were absolutely PAWSOME! Read on to find out why Ruffingtons has earned a top spot on our treat shelf.
Who Are Ruffingtons? Crafting Joy, One Treat at a Time!
Ruffingtons is a fantastic dog treat company dedicated to bringing joy to pups’ lives through delicious, high-quality baked goods.

They focus on quality ingredients and innovative designs, making treat time an extra special occasion. It’s clear that Ruffingtons pours a lot of love into every single batch!

Our Pups’ Top Picks: The Taste Test Results!
We put three of Ruffingtons’ stars to the ultimate test with our discerning pups. Here’s what we, and more importantly, they, thought!
Ruffingtons Canine Cupcakes: A Little Bit of Bliss!
Oh my goodness, these are almost too cute to eat! The Canine Cupcakes arrived looking just like miniature versions of human cupcakes, complete with a little swirl of frosting (dog-friendly, of course!). Our pups were instantly captivated by their appearance and the enticing aroma. They are perfectly sized for a single, delightful indulgence, making them ideal for special rewards or just to bring a smile to your dog’s face. The texture seemed just right – soft enough for easy eating but substantial enough to feel like a real treat. Every pup who got one devoured it with gusto, licking their chops for more! These are definitely a showstopper.
Ruffingtons Marbled Dog Snaps: Crunch Time!
Next up were the Marbled Dog Snaps. These crunchy treats had a unique, swirled appearance that made them visually interesting. For our pups who love a good crunch, these were an instant hit! They’re thin, crisp, and offered a satisfying snap, making them great for a quick reward or just for satisfying that urge to chew. They held up well to excited nibbling and left no messy crumbs. These are perfect for training sessions where you need a quick, high-value reward, or simply as an anytime snack. The consensus was clear: two paws up for crunch and flavour!
Ruffingtons Dog Doughnuts: Hole-y Moly, Delicious!
Last, but certainly not least, were the adorable Dog Doughnuts. Shaped like miniature doughnuts, complete with a hole in the middle, these treats brought a huge grin to our faces (and excited panting to the pups!). They have a slightly softer, chewier texture than the snaps, making them very appealing. Our dogs took their time savouring these, enjoying every bite. They’re a fantastic size for a more substantial treat without overdoing it. These would be perfect for a special birthday treat, a post-walk reward, or just because your dog is the best dog in the world. The Dog Doughnuts were universally adored and disappeared remarkably fast!
The Paw Institute’s Ruffingtons Verdict!
Our experience with Ruffingtons has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment we unboxed the beautifully presented treats, it was clear this company cares deeply about its products and the joy they bring. The quality of the ingredients shone through, and the imaginative designs of the Canine Cupcakes, Marbled Dog Snaps, and Dog Doughnuts made treat time even more fun for both pups and pawrents.
If you’re looking for dog treats that are a step above the ordinary – treats that are wholesome, visually appealing, and utterly delicious according to our furry critics – then Ruffingtons is definitely a brand to explore. Our pups at The Paw Institute are already dreaming of their next Ruffingtons delivery!
