Snoopy Snacks Dog Treats

Deep Dive into Snoopy Snacks Dog Treats

I recently shared a look at a very unusual Peanuts collectible, a box of Snoopy Snacks chocolate-flavored dog treats and training aids. This vintage Snoopy dog product is a fun example of how widely Peanuts characters appeared on everyday items. The box still has the original treats inside, which look surprisingly similar to chocolate candies. While that is an interesting detail for collectors, it is also easy to see why packaging like this would have needed to be clearly identified as a pet product.

These Snoopy Snacks were made by Biota International in Oakland, California, and the box includes information like ingredients, vitamin content, and details about how the treats could be used as a snack, training treat, or dessert for dogs. The packaging features Snoopy on the front and a surprised-looking Woodstock on the side, which is a fun little detail since Woodstock is a bird and these treats were definitely meant for dogs. The box appears to date from around the late 1970s or early 1980s, although the exact release date is still something I would like to research further.

Finding a vintage Snoopy dog treats box like this is not something you see every day. The original price of $1.29 is even still visible on the top of the package, giving a little glimpse into what this Peanuts pet product would have cost when it was sold. Collectibles like Snoopy Snacks are interesting because they show another side of Peanuts merchandise, including products made specifically for pets and the people who loved their dogs.
