The Innocent Hound has given two school students the opportunity to undergo work experience at their factory in North Yorkshire, where they experienced the whole process of designing and creating the next bestselling dog treat. 

Throughout the week they became part of the product development team and took on the exciting challenge of creating a brand-new dog treat from concept to launch.

Students Zara and Tabitha produced a new brand – ‘Street Dog’ – which aims to allow dogs to experience the same street food recipes we all love, in a healthy way.

Street Dog launched its first product ‘Fish & Chips’, a sliced, air-dried dog treat. Whilst designing the product, the students opted to set aside some of the earnings from Street Dog to the charity Dogs on the Streets, which focuses on supporting the vulnerable community with pet dogs. 

Containing 70% fish, all sustainably caught, this low fat, grain free fish and chip product including apple cider vinegar and dill, is a healthier option whilst maintaining a great taste, creating a high-quality and sure to be popular product.

Chloe Heaton, founder and MD of the Innocent Hound, said: “We wanted to offer young people the full experience of what we do, to support them and provide them with skills in this challenging time for finding work.”
