Bark & Beyond

Bark & Beyond Australian Made Natural Dried Pet Treats

Premium Australian made dried pet treats from Wilberforce NSW. No preservatives, no additives and no fillers. Locally sourced kangaroo and meat treats supporting Australian farmers.




Finding genuinely natural pet treats without a chemistry lesson on the back of the pack is harder than it should be. Most commercial treats contain preservatives, artificial flavours and fillers that have no business being in a simple meat-based reward. Bark and Beyond is a Hawkesbury Valley NSW manufacturer that does things differently, producing premium dried pet treats from locally sourced Australian ingredients with no preservatives, no additives and no fillers. At The Vet Shed we stock the Bark and Beyond range, bringing genuinely clean Australian pet treats to dog and cat owners across the country.

 

About Bark and Beyond

Bark and Beyond is based in Wilberforce in the Hawkesbury Valley of New South Wales, operating a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that positions them as one of Australia's leading producers of dried kangaroo and meat-based pet treats. The business is a manufacturer, importer and wholesaler with many years of experience producing pet food for both the Australian and international markets, and holds industry accreditations that reflect their commitment to food safety and product quality.

All Bark and Beyond raw materials are sourced from trusted Australian farmers and growers. Australia's clean and green reputation, strict biosecurity protocols and rigorous AQIS standards mean that the raw materials entering the Bark and Beyond facility are among the cleanest and most traceable available anywhere in the world. Every product in the range is produced to exceed AAFCO standards, the worldwide authority on animal nutrition, giving pet owners confidence that what they are feeding meets a genuine benchmark rather than a minimum threshold.

The brand's commitment to supporting Australian farmers is embedded in its supply chain rather than just its marketing. By sourcing locally from the Hawkesbury region and broader Australian producers, Bark and Beyond keeps its supply chain short, its ingredient traceability high and its economic impact local.

 

Why Natural Dried Treats Matter

Dried meat treats occupy a different nutritional category to conventional baked or extruded commercial treats. The drying process removes moisture and concentrates the protein content without the need for artificial preservatives, because low moisture content is itself a natural preservation mechanism. What remains is a high-protein, shelf-stable treat with an ingredient list that typically reads as a single item: the meat itself. For dogs with food sensitivities, owners managing elimination diets, or simply pet owners who want to know exactly what they are feeding their animals, this transparency is valuable.

Kangaroo in particular is one of the best meat proteins available in Australian pet treats. It is exceptionally lean, naturally low in fat, sustainably harvested from free-range wild populations, and qualifies as a novel protein for most dogs, meaning animals that have developed sensitivities to more common meat sources like chicken or beef often tolerate kangaroo without issue.

FAQs About Bark & Beyond Pet Treats

Are Bark and Beyond treats Australian made?

Yes. Bark and Beyond is based in Wilberforce, New South Wales, and manufactures its dried pet treats from locally sourced Australian ingredients. The business works directly with Australian farmers and growers and operates under Australia's strict biosecurity and food safety frameworks. Supporting Bark and Beyond means supporting an Australian manufacturer that keeps its supply chain genuinely local.

Do Bark and Beyond treats contain preservatives or additives?

No. Every Bark and Beyond product is made without artificial preservatives, additives or fillers. The natural drying process used in manufacturing removes moisture to a level that inhibits microbial growth without the need for chemical preservation. The result is a clean, natural treat with an ingredient list that reflects exactly what went in during manufacturing and nothing more.

Are Bark and Beyond kangaroo treats suitable for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities?

Yes. Kangaroo is a novel protein for most Australian dogs, meaning the vast majority have not been previously and repeatedly exposed to it through their regular diet. Novel proteins are a cornerstone of elimination diet protocols for dogs with suspected food allergies, because an immune response to a food protein requires prior sensitisation. Bark and Beyond kangaroo treats are single or minimal ingredient products with no hidden meat derivatives, making them a clean and traceable treat option for dogs on restricted ingredient diets. Always confirm with your vet if your dog is undergoing a formal elimination trial.

What is the quality standard that Bark and Beyond products are made to?

Bark and Beyond holds industry accreditations and produces to standards that exceed AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) requirements, which is the worldwide reference authority for animal nutrition standards. Australian biosecurity regulations and the AQIS framework additionally ensure that raw materials entering the manufacturing facility are free from disease and impurities, reflecting Australia's internationally recognised clean and green agricultural status.

Why is kangaroo a good protein choice for dogs?

Kangaroo is one of the leanest natural meat proteins available, with a low fat content that suits dogs that need to manage their weight or that do not tolerate high-fat proteins well. It is sustainably harvested from wild free-range populations under strict government management, making it one of the most environmentally responsible meat sources in Australia. As a novel protein not commonly found in mainstream commercial pet food, it is also well suited to rotation feeding programs and food sensitivity management.

Can I use Bark and Beyond treats for training?

Yes. Dried meat treats are excellent training rewards because of their high palatability and concentrated protein content. The strong aroma of dried meat is particularly effective at motivating dogs during training sessions. For training use, breaking larger pieces into smaller portions extends the pack further and keeps treat size appropriate for reward-based training without overfeeding. The single-ingredient nature of most Bark and Beyond treats also makes them straightforward to include in a controlled diet alongside regular food without concerns about unknown ingredients affecting a balanced diet.
