Pawtential Collagen Chew – Large, Peanut Flavour, 110g

Pawtential Collagen Chew – Large, Peanut Flavour, 110g

At 110g this is the biggest stick Pawtential make, and the peanut recipe is the one to reach for with a dog that refuses fish and is bored of beef. Peanut flour at 4% and egg yolk powder supply the flavour; there is no meat in the flavouring at all, only the chicken breast worked into the body of the chew.

A large stick is 320 kcal, which is a great deal of treat — enough that it should be an occasional event for most dogs rather than a nightly habit. It earns that by lasting: a labrador will be occupied for a good while rather than the couple of minutes a rawhide strip buys.

Performance & Benefits

• 110g stick, the largest size in the Pawtential range.
• 4% peanut flour with egg yolk powder; no flavouring meat in the recipe.
• 68% crude protein and 3% crude fat over a 64% beef gelatine base.
• Long chew duration, which is the point of the large size for a powerful jaw.
• Digests down rather than swelling, unlike traditional rawhide.
• Rosemary extract is the only preservative; vitamin E at 300mg/kg.

Suitable For

• Large dogs — labradors, shepherds, retrievers and similar.
• Dogs that go through a medium chew too fast to be worth the money.
• Fussy dogs that reject meat and fish flavours.
• Not for dogs sensitive to egg, peanut, chicken or beef; all four are in the recipe.
• Far too much chew, and too many calories, for a small dog — the Pawtential Collagen Chew Small 36g at 104 kcal is the size to buy instead.

Feeding

• A complementary treat only. Feed alongside a complete and balanced diet.
• 320 kcal per 110g stick at 291 kcal per 100g — a significant share of most dogs' daily energy.
• Pedigree Wholesale publish no feeding frequency for the range; treat it as occasional.
• Fresh drinking water should always be available.

Care & Caution

• 320 kcal in one stick. For a 10kg dog that is close to half a day's energy, so adjust meals accordingly.
• Contains peanut flour and egg yolk powder as well as chicken breast and beef gelatine — four common trigger ingredients in one chew.
• Take the worn-down end away. A large chew reduced to a swallowable lump is the point at which it becomes dangerous.
• Give it to a large dog only. A small dog can break off pieces it cannot manage.
