Pawtential Collagen Chews – XS, Chicken Flavour, 6 Sticks

Pawtential Collagen Chews – XS, Chicken Flavour, 6 Sticks

Chicken carries the highest meat inclusion of the four Pawtential recipes at 16.16% chicken breast, and the XS pack delivers it as six slim sticks rather than one chew a toy breed cannot get its jaw around. Bell pepper powder and carob flour finish the recipe; there is no added flavour compound.

This is the pack to reach for with a small dog that prefers poultry, and the six-stick format means a chew is always to hand. The underlying body is still 64% beef gelatine, which is worth knowing if chicken was chosen to avoid red meat.

Performance & Benefits

• 16.16% chicken breast, more real meat than any other recipe in the range.
• Six XS sticks per pack, sized for toy breeds.
• 68% crude protein, 3% crude fat, 2% crude fibre.
• No added flavouring — bell pepper powder and carob flour round out the chicken.
• Hydrolysed collagen that breaks down in digestion rather than swelling.
• Rosemary extract as the only preservative, with vitamin E at 300mg/kg.

Suitable For

• Toy and extra-small dogs under about 5kg.
• Small dogs that prefer poultry to beef or fish.
• Households wanting a multi-chew pack rather than a single stick.
• Not suitable on a beef-free diet — 64% of the chew is beef gelatine.
• Far too small for a labrador or shepherd to chew safely; the Pawtential Collagen Chew Large 110g is the appropriate size for those.

Feeding

• A complementary treat fed alongside a complete and balanced diet.
• 291 kcal per 100g across the range; no per-stick calorie figure is published for the XS size.
• Pedigree Wholesale publish no daily feeding rate, so none is stated here.
• Keep fresh drinking water within reach.

Care & Caution

• XS sticks are a swallowing hazard for anything bigger than a toy breed. Match the size to the dog.
• Supervise the whole chew and remove the last piece before it can be gulped.
• The chicken name is the flavour only; the chew is mainly beef gelatine and unsuitable for beef-sensitive dogs.
• Energy-dense at 291 kcal per 100g — do not treat a six-pack as a week's daily ration without adjusting meals.
