Snausages are a dog treat of small pieces that resemble miniature "pigs in blankets" (in the American sense of sausages wrapped in dough). They come in several different flavors, including "bacon and cheese" and "beef and cheese". Snausages are produced by Del Monte Foods, intended for canine consumption only.

Del Monte aggressively marketed Snausages upon the product's launch in 1984, using a talking dog mascot named Snocrates, a pun on the name of the philosopher Socrates. The product's catchphrase: "The most fun a dog can eat."
