Butternut Box and Pip and Nut launches new dog treats

Dog food company Butternut Box has partnered with the UK peanut butter brand, Pip and Nut, to create new Barkisan Peanut Butter Bites.

The new range of nutty dog treats is made with Pip and Nut’s moreish peanut butter and is available in two fruity recipes, banana, and tangy raspberry and coconut.

The hand-finished treats also contain crunchy peanuts and chia seeds and natural, human-quality ingredients.

Butternut Box stated that the new innovation comes as four in five (80%) of dog parents reveal they’ve previously plated up human meals for their pup.

Around half (47%) of pet owners do so as they consider their pooch to be a member of the family, while two in five (42%) confess to simply loving treating their pet to human-quality food.

The survey of over 1,000 dog owners also revealed that food is a key bonding opportunity for pups and their parents.

Dave Nolan, Butternut Box co-founder, said: “We’ve been admirers of Pip & Nut for a while now for their truly delicious product and their values as a B Corp business, both of which make us natural partners. My own dog Apple is a big fan of their peanut butter, so I know she’s as excited as I am to see Barkisan Bites hit our virtual shelves.

Pip Murray, founder of Pip and Nut, added: “We’re so excited to collaborate with fellow B-Corp, Butternut Box, as we’re big dog lovers at Pip & Nut and have seen first-hand how nutty they go for our natural peanut butter. We absolutely love that Barkisan Peanut Butter Bites are the perfect combination of Butternut Box’s fresh produce and Pip and Nut’s better, natural ingredients. We can’t wait to see dogs and their owners enjoying Pip & Nut side by side.”
