Every day, kilos and kilos of fish heads, bones, and skins literally end up in the trash. Food waste is one of the biggest challenges of our time. According to the UNEP Food Waste Index 2021, around 931 million tonnes of food waste were generated in 2019. It is therefore high time that more businesses and consumers treat waste differently.
Sancho Pancho has revolutionised the approach to such food waste, by partnering with supermarkets, farms, local butchers and fish shops to repurpose rescued ingredients into healthy, natural dog treats, all while supporting the local community and the environment. Join our community, support sustainability, and fight food waste while treating your pet with love and care. Choose Sancho Pancho treats for a greener future.
Our treats are suitable for all types of dogs and for all life stages. Generally, you can start giving treats to puppies around 8 to 12 weeks of age, when they are beginning to transition to solid foods. It is important to do so in moderation and choose treats that are appropriate for their age and size.
In case of purchasing our products in a bag with a label on it, keep the bag closed after opening, store in a cool dry place and consume within the period that is written on a bag.
In case of ordering our products in bulk, please transfer the treats from a kraft paper bag to a glass jar or container in a cool dry place. They do not need to be placed in a fridge.
We generally recommend trying a variety of our air-dried snacks, given that your dog doesn’t have any specific allergies. Every dog is different, and in order to find out your pup’s favorite treats, we recommend ordering our products in bulk in minimum quantities of 50g per bag.
Our experience shows us that most dogs like the taste of air-dried rabbit bites, duck bites, 100% turkey or 100% pork and salmon skin chips.

Our treats are made with only the finest natural raw ingredients. We prioritize quality and transparency, using simple, wholesome components to provide your dog with a nutritious and delicious snack. Among the most common ingredients are chicken, turkey, duck, rabbit, beef, pork, lamb, salmon and white fish.
Our treats are suitable for dogs with allergies or dietary sensitivities due to our commitment to using natural, high-quality ingredients. We avoid common allergens and additives, focusing on simple recipes that prioritize your dog’s health. However before purchasing our products you may first want to consult with your vet what type of animal protein is good for your dog.
We collaborate closely with local markets to acquire high-quality ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. This approach not only benefits your dog but also contributes to our mission against food waste.
About one-third of human food production goes to waste. At Sancho Pancho, we turn food waste into nutritious and tasty dog treats, aligning with our conscious approach to reducing waste.
The idea of using food waste emerged through a collaboration with a local restaurant owner, Édson Neves (Sekai Sushi Bar in Lisbon) who faced challenges due to changing COVID regulations. This sparked the innovative concept of repurposing fish waste into dog biscuits and later air-dried dog treats.
Sancho Pancho’s natural dog treats were inspired by the desire to provide the best possible snacks for our furry companions, Pancho and Oli.
