NZPF Woof - Wild Brushtail Freeze Dried Dog Treats
Description
TL;DR: NZPF Woof Wild Brushtail Freeze Dried Dog Treats are single-protein, freeze-dried bites made from New Zealand brushtail in a 50 g resealable pack. They suit dogs on rotational diets, novel-protein trials, or elimination feeding plans.
Brushtail is a lean, novel red meat from New Zealand, freeze-dried to preserve its natural flavour and nutrients. Each bite is a simple, single-protein treat that slots easily into training, food toppers, or everyday rewards.
What is brushtail, and how does it compare to ringtail possum?
When pet owners search for brushtail vs ringtail possum, the short answer is that they are two distinct species. The brushtail possum used in NZPF treats is sourced in New Zealand and is the protein you'll find in this bag — ringtail possum is a separate species and is not used here.
For dogs reacting to common proteins like chicken or beef, a novel protein such as brushtail possum can be a useful option in a rotational or elimination-style diet.

Who is it for?
These treats are a good fit for dogs with food sensitivities to common proteins, dogs on rotational feeding plans, and owners looking for a lean, single-ingredient reward. The small, light pieces also work well for training sessions where you need quick, low-mess rewards.
Note: these are brushtail dog treats, unrelated to novelty items like brushtail socks — despite the shared keyword, this product is strictly a food item for dogs.
How do you feed brushtail freeze-dried treats?
Offer as a treat between meals, use as a training reward, or crumble over your dog's regular food as a topper to encourage picky eaters. Always feed alongside fresh water and adjust your dog's main meals if you're using treats frequently.
Reseal the pouch after each use and store in a cool, dry place to keep the bites crunchy.

Frequently asked questions
Everything pet parents usually ask about this product.
-
What is the bag size of these freeze-dried treats?
Each bag contains 50 g of freeze-dried brushtail treats. Because freeze-drying removes moisture, the pieces are light and a little goes a long way.
-
What is brushtail and how does it differ from ringtail possum?
Brushtail refers to the common brushtail possum, a wild-sourced protein from New Zealand with a bushy, fox-like tail. It is a distinct species from the ringtail possum, which is smaller and has a thinner, prehensile tail; only brushtail is used in this treat.
-
Are these treats suitable for dogs with common protein sensitivities?
Brushtail is a novel protein, meaning most dogs have never been exposed to it. This can make it a useful option for dogs that react to more common proteins like chicken, beef, or lamb.
-
Are these treats single-ingredient?
These are freeze-dried wild brushtail treats intended as a high-protein reward or training treat. Check the packaging ingredient panel for the full composition before feeding.
