Plant-based is no longer a niche trend — it’s reshaping retail. Increasingly, it’s also influencing how pet owners choose to treat their dogs.

Today’s customers are reading labels, seeking ingredient transparency and looking for healthier alternatives — not just for themselves, but for their pets. For garden centres, trusted destinations rooted in quality, sustainability and lifestyle retail, this presents a clear commercial opportunity.

Maks’ Patch, from UK supplier Miro & Makauri, brings plant-based innovation to the dog treat category — combining flavour creativity, clean-label ingredients and proven repeat purchase within a ready-to-display format built for modern garden retail.
Healthy Without Compromise

With over 30 SKUs, Maks’ Patch offers genuine depth across shapes, sizes and dietary needs — allowing buyers to build a credible plant-based fixture rather than a token alternative.
Each recipe starts with sweet potatoes and peas, baked with carefully selected natural ingredients and fortified with health-boosting additives to create a tasty, popular range of dog snacks that pooches genuinely love.

The range is:

•    Vegan & meat-free
•    Hypoallergenic
•    Low in fat
•    Gluten, grain & wheat free
•    Sugar free

It’s plant-based without compromise — delivering flavour, clarity and shelf appeal in equal measure.

Flavour That Drives Curiosity — And Repeat Purchase

Where traditional biscuit treats can feel predictable, Maks’ Patch stands apart through flavour innovation.
From 100% Xylitol-Free Peanut Butter & Banana and Natural Smoked BBQ to Sweet Potato & Blueberry, Spinach & Apple, Kelp, Mint & Parsley, and Pumpkin & Carrot with Paprika, the range introduces differentiation that sparks customer interest and supports repeat purchase.

Clean, contemporary packaging and compact POS stands ensure seamless integration within pet departments or alongside lifestyle-led categories.
Across existing stockists, the range holds a 94% reorder and retention rate, reflecting strong sell-through and customer loyalty.

As Diss Garden Centre comments:

“Now our number one selling dog treat. We buy box after box of the veggie dog treats. Our customers absolutely love them.”
