This is a specific conversation about Dog treats — what's worth giving — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Feeding four dogs means treat costs add up fast, so getting this right matters. The best treats are high in protein, low in additives, and sized right for the dog — and honestly, most heavily marketed treats are nutritionally poor for what you pay. Single-ingredient treats like dried meat or fish skin are almost always the better call. To point you toward the best bulk buy: what size are your other dogs, does the Husky or any of the others have dietary restrictions, and what are the treats mainly for — training, rewards, dental, or just enrichment?
The Husky is about 25kg, and the others are two Labradors around 30kg each and a smaller mixed breed around 10kg. No major dietary issues, though one of the Labs is a bit prone to weight gain. Mainly using treats for training and general rewards, nothing specific like dental.

That's a useful mix — you need something that works across a range of sizes and won't blow the calorie count for the heavier Lab. A few quick questions before I nail down a recommendation: are you happy with fish-based treats, or would you prefer meat? And are you buying online, or do you need something available in stores?
Fish is fine, all of them eat it well. And online is perfect — happy to order a bulk pack if the per-treat cost is lower.

Perfect. Go with Icelandic+ Cod Skin Dog Treats — you can get them in larger bags on Amazon UK and the per-treat cost drops noticeably when you buy the bigger pack. They're single-ingredient dried cod skin, so no fillers, no additives, and naturally lower in fat than most meat treats, which is ideal given the Lab's weight. They're also easy to snap into smaller pieces, so you can size them down for training with the smaller mixed breed or the Husky without wasting anything. The texture is firm enough to hold attention but not so hard it becomes a chew session — keeps training momentum going. For four dogs doing regular reward-based training, a larger bag lasts well and the ingredients are genuinely clean.
That sounds good. Do you think one type of treat is enough for all four, or should I vary it?

One solid staple treat is fine for day-to-day training and rewards — you don't need variety for its own sake. Where you might want a second option is if you're doing high-distraction training and need something with a stronger smell or higher value to cut through. In that case, dried sprats are cheap, tiny, and dogs go mad for them — easy to buy in bulk and work well alongside the cod skin. But as a core treat for four dogs? The cod skin alone will do the job.
Really helpful, thank you. I'll grab the larger bag of the cod skin and maybe a bag of sprats too.

Good call — that combination covers you for most situations without overcomplicating it. The cod skin for everyday use, sprats when you need higher value. Both store well and the cost per treat stays low buying in bulk. Your dogs will be well served.
