Beco Dog Choc Dog Treats 70g Chocolate Style Dog Treats

Beco Dog Choc Treats with Carob, Chamomile & Quinoa, 70g

Beco's chocolate-style biscuit for dogs, flavoured with carob rather than cocoa and rounded out with chamomile and quinoa. Carob looks and smells roughly like chocolate but contains no theobromine, which is the compound in real chocolate that poisons dogs.

It is a novelty treat with a serious point behind it: something to hand over at Christmas or a birthday instead of the box on the table. Beco no longer list Dog Choc anywhere on becopets.com, and publish no composition or analytical constituents for it on their own site, so none is stated here rather than copied from a reseller.

Performance & Benefits

• Carob-based, so it carries no theobromine and none of chocolate's risk to dogs
• Chamomile and quinoa in the recipe alongside the carob
• Plant-based, in line with the rest of Beco's biscuit range
• A sensible substitute to have in the cupboard over Christmas and Easter
• 70g pack, sized as an occasional treat rather than a daily one

Suitable For

• Households that want a chocolate-shaped treat the dog can actually have
• Gifting, advent calendars and birthdays
• Dogs already eating Beco's plant-based biscuits
• Owners teaching children what a dog may and may not be given
• Not a training treat — the Beco free range chicken liver training treats are far better value for repetition work

Feeding

• Feed as an occasional treat alongside a complete, balanced diet
• Reduce the main meal to allow for what is fed as treats
• Keep fresh drinking water available
• Complementary pet food only, not a meal replacement
• Beco publish no per-dog daily allowance for this treat, so feed conservatively by body size

Composition & Analysis

• Beco no longer list Dog Choc on becopets.com and publish no composition for it there, so none is reproduced here
• No analytical constituents — protein, oil, fibre, ash or moisture — are published by Beco for this treat
• Named ingredients from the product name itself: carob, chamomile and quinoa
• Contains no cocoa and therefore no theobromine
• Check the printed pack for the current declared composition before feeding a dog with known sensitivities

Care & Caution

• Carob is not chocolate — never substitute real chocolate, which is toxic to dogs at modest doses
• Keep the pack out of the dog's reach; a whole 70g bag eaten at once will upset most stomachs
• Introduce a few at a time if the dog has not had quinoa or carob before
• Not suitable as a meal, and not a substitute for veterinary dietary advice
