Pawtential Collagen Chew – Small, Chicken Flavour, 36g

Pawtential Collagen Chew – Small, Chicken Flavour, 36g

Of the four small Pawtential sticks this is the one with the most real meat in it: 16.16% chicken breast, with bell pepper powder and carob flour and no separate flavouring. For a small dog that will not touch fish or peanut, it is usually the one that gets taken.

It weighs 36g and comes in at 104 kcal, low enough to fit into most small dogs' days without much rearranging. The base is still 64% beef gelatine, so choosing chicken here does not make it a poultry-only chew.

Performance & Benefits

• 16.16% chicken breast — the highest meat inclusion in the Pawtential range.
• 36g stick at 104 kcal, the lightest way into these chews.
• 68% crude protein against 3% crude fat.
• Bell pepper powder and carob flour instead of an added flavour compound.
• Collagen matrix breaks down in digestion, unlike rawhide which can swell.
• Rosemary extract is the only preservative; vitamin E at 300mg/kg.

Suitable For

• Small dogs of roughly 5–10kg.
• Poultry-preferring dogs that turn down beef and fish chews.
• A controlled-calorie reward for a bigger dog on a diet.
• Not usable on a beef-free diet — beef gelatine is the main ingredient at 64%.
• Gone too fast for a determined chewer; the Pawtential Collagen Chew Large 110g is the size that holds one.

Feeding

• Complementary treat. It is not a replacement for any part of the daily diet.
• 104 kcal per 36g stick at 291 kcal per 100g — small, but not nothing for a 6kg dog.
• No feeding rate or frequency is published by Pedigree Wholesale, so none is given.
• Provide fresh drinking water alongside.

Care & Caution

• Feed to one dog at a time; chews of this size are a common flashpoint between dogs.
