Ring Presents: Christmas Treataways

Tails are wagging as Ring's beloved Treataways are back, collaborating with the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, Dogs Trust to bring foster pups and their caring humans some festive cheer.

About Treataways

Christmas is a busy time for Dogs Trust, dealing with high numbers of calls from struggling dog owners who sadly need to give up their dog. Many of these need immediate support but kennel space is stretched, so the charity relies on volunteer foster carers to give them a temporary home.

That’s why Ring is teaming up with Dogs Trust this Christmas, to champion the kind hearted foster carers that offer dogs a place until they find their forever home.

Following the sell-out success of the hotly-sought after Treataway service this summer, Ring’s Treataway service will return to bring festive cheer for foster carers in the Dogs Trust Home From Home fostering programme.

Our ‘Christmas Treataway’ service will deliver the ultimate three-course treat straight to Dogs Trust foster carers’ doors. These special packages are designed to bring peace of mind to foster carers, allowing them to enjoy the holiday season knowing their dogs are safe, content, and treated to something festive.

Members of the Dogs Trusts Home from Home foster carer network in selected areas* can order their foster pup a free, 100% canine-friendly Christmas tasting dinner, complete with a festive themed toy. Foster carers will also be treated to a free Ring Indoor Camera to keep an eye on their pup if they need to pop out.

*Available for carers in the Dogs Trust network in  Basildon, Manchester, Cardiff, Kenilworth and Canterbury.

Foster pups can enjoy our drool-worthy Christmas Treataway menu, complete with essential British sides:

Main Course: Roasted Turkey Crown
- Roasted rosemary turkey crown
- Sauteed sprouts and carrots with beef liver, chestnuts and parmesan
- Grated braised purple sweet potato, red cabbage and beetroot with cinnamon
- Roasted white sweet potato
- Pigs in blankets
- Blueberry turkey bone broth gravy

Dessert: Dog-friendly Christmas pie made from coconut and oat flour crumb, offal, squash and black bean filling

Drink: Dogg-egg-nogg with goats milk, beef bone broth and egg whites

We know this tasting dinner looks good enough for humans to enjoy it, but it's been carefully created especially for dogs, using safe ingredients for our pups. Over Christmas, it's important to stick to dog-friendly treats and avoid foods that are toxic for our four-legged friends. Mince Pies that humans can eat, for example, contain raisins and sultanas, which are extremely toxic to dogs and should never be fed to them.

Christmas Treataway Best Feeding Practices

Every dog needs a balanced diet to stay happy and healthy. Since each dog is unique, the ideal diet will depend on their age, size, activity levels, any medical conditions, and personal preferences! Keeping their diet consistent is key, as sudden changes can lead to stomach upsets.

Here are Dogs Trust’s top tips on how Treataways can be enjoyed safely, without any upset stomachs! 

  1. It is important to feed treats in moderation. We suggest that Treataways should make up no more than 10% of a dog’s daily calorie intake. Please spread feeding the food out over the course of a few days. 
  2. As some of the ingredients in Treataways may be new to your foster dog, it is important to only feed small amounts as part of their normal diet (introduce them gradually), to allow them to get used to the new food.
  3. Please make sure that your foster dog is not on a special gastrointestinal or hypoallergenic diet  or other specific diets to manage long term medical conditions, before feeding Treataways.. Some dogs have food allergies/intolerances or other long term medical conditions that may mean Treataways are not suitable. If you have any doubts, please check in with the Dogs Trust rehoming centre.
  4. If, after feeding Treataways, your foster dog experiences any signs of an upset stomach, or if you have any other concerns, please stop feeding Treataways and contact the rehoming centre for advice.
