Pawtential Collagen Chew – Medium, Beef Flavour, 70g

Pawtential Collagen Chew – Medium, Beef Flavour, 70g

The medium Pawtential chew is a single 70g stick of hydrolysed collagen, made on a base of 64% beef gelatine with 4% beef and 14.86% chicken breast worked into the mix. It is Pedigree Wholesale's answer to rawhide: the same drawn-out, jaw-working chew, but from a gelatine matrix that breaks down in the gut rather than swelling in it.

At 70g it is the middle size of four, sized for a cocker, a border collie or a springer rather than a terrier or a labrador. Pedigree Wholesale put it at 203 kcal a stick, which is worth knowing before it becomes a daily habit — that is a real slice of a 12kg dog's day.

Performance & Benefits

• Hydrolysed collagen on a 64% beef gelatine base, made as a direct rawhide alternative.
• 68% crude protein and only 3% crude fat — high protein, low fat for a chew of this size.
• 4% beef plus 14.86% chicken breast carry the savoury flavour.
• Firm, fibrous texture that takes a dog time to work through, so it occupies as well as rewards.
• The abrasive action of chewing helps lift debris from the teeth and gum line.
• Vitamin E at 300mg/kg, with rosemary extract as the only preservative.

Suitable For

• Medium dogs of roughly 10–25kg.
• Dogs whose owners want off rawhide but still want a chew that lasts.
• Crate settling, kennel rest and quiet evenings.
• Not a single-protein chew — it contains beef and chicken, so it is wrong for a dog on an exclusion diet.
• Too much chew for a toy breed or a puppy; the Pawtential Collagen Chews XS 6-stick pack is the right size for those.

Feeding

• A complementary treat. Feed alongside a complete and balanced diet, never instead of one.
• One 70g stick is 203 kcal at 291 kcal per 100g — take that off the day's food allowance.
• Pedigree Wholesale publish no daily feeding rate for these chews, so none is stated here; feed occasionally rather than routinely.
• Keep fresh drinking water available while your dog is chewing.

Care & Caution

• A hard chew a dog can swallow. Supervise throughout and take the last short stub away before it can go down whole.
• The beef flavour still contains 14.86% chicken breast and a 64% beef gelatine base, so it suits neither a chicken-avoiding nor a beef-avoiding dog.
• Calorie-dense at 291 kcal per 100g. Feeding one daily to a small or overweight dog will put weight on.
• Not suitable for puppies too young to chew hard food safely.
