Pawtential Collagen Chew – Medium, Peanut Flavour, 70g

Pawtential Collagen Chew – Medium, Peanut Flavour, 70g

Peanut is the odd one in the Pawtential line-up, and the only recipe with no flavouring meat at all: the 4% is peanut flour, with egg yolk powder behind it and no carob flour or bell pepper. Dogs that turn their nose up at a fishy or offaly chew will usually take this one.

It is a 70g medium stick, the everyday size, and works out at 203 kcal. Pedigree Wholesale list the range as Peanut Butter; the flavour is peanut flour rather than a butter, so do not expect the smell of a jar of it.

Performance & Benefits

• 4% peanut flour with egg yolk powder — the only Pawtential recipe with no flavouring meat.
• Built on 64% beef gelatine and hydrolysed collagen, as a rawhide alternative.
• 68% crude protein against 3% crude fat.
• Often the recipe that tempts a fussy or fish-averse dog.
• Long chew time for a 70g stick, with an abrasive texture that works over the teeth.
• Vitamin E 300mg/kg; rosemary extract is the only preservative.

Suitable For

• Medium dogs of roughly 10–25kg.
• Fussy chewers that refuse meat- or fish-flavoured chews.
• Reward training where a long-lasting jackpot is wanted.
• Not for a dog with a poultry or egg sensitivity — it contains 12.36% chicken breast and egg yolk powder.
• Too rich a stick for a very small dog; the Pawtential Collagen Chews XS 6-stick pack portions it far better.

Feeding

• Complementary treat. Feed with a complete and balanced diet, not in place of one.
• 203 kcal in a 70g stick, at 291 kcal per 100g — count it into the day.
• No daily feeding rate is published by Pedigree Wholesale, so none is given here.
