Questions? We love those.
THE TREATS
What are Rooted Bites treats made from?
Our treats are crafted from plant-based, whole-food ingredients inspired by Ayurvedic principles. Each recipe includes a carefully selected blend of nutritious ingredients like oat flour, fruit and vegetable powders, peanut powder and our hero spices. We prioritize ingredient quality and transparency - you can find detailed ingredient lists for each treat on our product pages.
Are there any allergens in the treats?
We take allergies seriously. Our treats do contain peanuts and coconut. If your dog has specific allergies or sensitivities, please review the ingredient list carefully or contact us before purchasing. We're happy to answer questions about any ingredient.
What makes Rooted Bites different from other dog treats?
Most dog treats are built around flavour and shelf life. Ours are built around intention. Every Rooted Bites treat starts with a hero spice drawn from the Indian pantry - turmeric, fenugreek, fennel, ginger - ingredients with centuries of tradition behind them. The base is simple and clean: toasted oat flour, peanuts, pumpkin, banana, apple, carrot, and coconut flour. No fillers, no artificial preservatives, and nothing you'd need to Google. Just real food, rooted in a culture that's always known how to nourish.
Do your treats contain artificial preservatives or additives?
No, and that's something we feel strongly about. Our treats are made with clean, real ingredients only. No artificial preservatives, no additives, no fillers. What you see on the label is exactly what's in the treat. Nothing more, nothing less. Please note our treats do contain peanuts - always check the full ingredient list if your dog has known allergies.
How should I store the treats?
Store the treats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the bag sealed tightly - the resealable packaging is designed to help with this. For best freshness, use within the timeframe indicated on the packaging.
What is the snap format and how do I use it?
Rooted Bites are made in a brittle-style snap format: firm, scored bars that break cleanly into smaller pieces. Think of it like a chocolate bar, but for your dog. Snap off a generous piece for a big reward, break it into halves for a training session, or crumble the tiniest bit as a high-value lure. One treat, sized by you, suited to every moment.
FEEDING & SUITABILITY
Are these treats suitable for all dogs?
Yes, our treats are made for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Because of the snap format, you control the portion, making them just as suitable for a small Chihuahua as for a large Labrador. As with any new food, we recommend introducing treats gradually and keeping an eye on how your dog responds. If your dog has a specific health condition or dietary requirement, a quick check with your vet is always a good idea.
Are Veda treats suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Our treats are made with simple, clean ingredients and free from artificial additives - which many dog owners with sensitive pups find reassuring. The spices we use, including fennel and ginger in Veda Belly Bites, have long been associated with digestive comfort in traditional cooking. That said, every dog is different, and we always recommend introducing any new treat gradually. If your dog has a known sensitivity or health condition, a quick check with your vet before trying something new is always a good idea.
How many treats should I give my dog per day?
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake - a good rule of thumb for any treat, not just ours. The snap format makes it easy to give smaller amounts more often, which is ideal for training. Start with a small piece and adjust based on your dog's size, activity level, and how treat-motivated they are.

Are your treats inspired by Indian ingredients?
They are and it's one of the things we're most proud of. Rooted Bites was founded by a Mumbai-raised dog mum who grew up in a home where spices weren't just flavour, they were a philosophy. These ingredients have been trusted in Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic tradition for generations - we just brought that same wholesome thinking to your dog's treat. It felt like the most natural thing in the world.
