Pawtential Collagen Chew – Small, Beef Flavour, 36g

Pawtential Collagen Chew – Small, Beef Flavour, 36g

The small stick is 36g and 104 kcal, which makes it the one size in the Pawtential range you can hand over without doing arithmetic first. The recipe is unchanged from the larger beef chews — 64% beef gelatine, 4% beef, 14.86% chicken breast — just drawn into a slimmer stick.

It suits a westie, a cavalier or a French bulldog, and it is also the sensible choice for a bigger dog you want to reward without adding three hundred calories to the day. At £0.99 RRP it is the cheapest entry into the range.

Performance & Benefits

• 36g stick at 104 kcal — the lightest single chew Pawtential make.
• Same recipe as the medium and large beef chews: 64% beef gelatine with 4% beef.
• 68% crude protein and 3% crude fat.
• Slim enough for a small jaw to get purchase on without cracking a tooth on a thick stick.
• Hydrolysed collagen digests down rather than swelling in the stomach as rawhide can.
• Vitamin E 300mg/kg, preserved with rosemary extract only.

Suitable For

• Small dogs of roughly 5–10kg.
• Larger dogs that need a low-calorie reward rather than a long chew.
• Dogs new to collagen chews, as a trial size.
• Not suitable for dogs avoiding beef or chicken; both are in the recipe.
• A strong chewer will finish it in minutes — the Pawtential Collagen Chew Medium 70g lasts considerably longer.

Feeding

• 104 kcal per 36g stick, at 291 kcal per 100g.
• Pedigree Wholesale publish no daily feeding rate for the range, so none is stated here.
