The 2024 Pet Innovation Awards, an independent recognition platform
highlighting the most innovative companies, services, and products
in the highly competitive Pet care industry, today announced
Snif-Snax, specializing in limited ingredient, all-natural salmon
dog treats, is the recipient of “Natural Dog Treat Product of the
Year.”
By harnessing sustainably sourced salmon and sweet potatoes,
Snif-Snax dog treats are both beneficial to a dog’s health and
environmentally conscious. The company’s supply chain is unique and
rooted in sustainability. Taking fresh, whole, Atlantic Salmon,
responsibly raised along Scotland’s coast, the premium fish
undergoes meticulous dry curing and smoking. Every salmon can be
traced back to the specific net where it was reared.
Founder Jonathan Brown has been a passionate provider of fresh
and smoked salmon for nearly forty years, adhering to the highest
standards of taste and care. When his daughter, Hannah, an animal
rights advocate, suggested the development of a zero-waste closed
loop product that would combine their passion for quality salmon
and love for animals, Snif-Snax was born. The offcuts from Brown’s
raw and smoked salmon process are the raw material for Snif-Snax.
Combined with sweet potato and gently baked to lock in valuable
nutrients, the result is a nutritious treat for pets.
“At the time, my peers, age group and demographic were unhappy
that there wasn’t a limited ingredient healthy pet treat on the
market, so that’s how we developed Snif-Snax. We truly love
animals, and want the best for them because they deserve the best.”
said Hannah.
Salmon provides Omega-3 fatty acids for skin, coat, and brain
health. Additional ingredient, sweet potato is an optimum
alternative to wheat and grain and is rich in antioxidants and an
excellent source of vitamins and fiber. The combination creates a
balanced protein source, fueling energy levels and muscle
development. Benefits include healthy digestion, anti-inflammatory
properties for joint and mobility health, weight management, and
cardiovascular health.
The products also work well for dogs with food allergies or
sensitivities and come in a range that includes salmon bites,
filets, cutlets, skins, toppers and oil. Freeze-dried Salmon and
Scottish Venison are recent treat innovations from the company.
Uniquely, Snif-Snax also offers a popular holiday Advent Calendar
for pets.
“With decades of expertise in salmon production and a real
dedication to animal welfare, Snif-Snax has been able to produce
the best natural pet treats on the market. By not controlling the
supply chain in pet food production, you run the risk of artificial
ingredients that can potentially lead to adverse health effects and
additives that lack nutritional value,” said Travis Grant, Managing
Director, Independent Innovation Awards. “We’re thrilled to award
Snif-Snax with ‘Natural Dog Treat Product of the Year’ and applaud
their efforts to provide wholesome and delightful treats through a
commitment to nutrition, sustainability, and quality.”

2024 Pet Innovation Awards attracted thousands of nominations from

“We believe in treating pets like family, and by introducing
quality human-grade food in our zero waste process, we’re doing
just that. As animal lovers, we feel we can redefine pet care
standards through sustainable practices, natural ingredients, and
the love we put into every step of the process,” said Snif-Snax
founder and CEO, Jonathan Brown “Winning this award from Pet
Innovation just underscores our continued mission to enhance the
bond between humans and their beloved pets by continuing to develop
and deliver innovative, high-quality, and responsibly sourced pet
treats.”
