Pawtential Collagen Chews – XS, Peanut Flavour, 6 Sticks

Pawtential Collagen Chews – XS, Peanut Flavour, 6 Sticks

Peanut is the only Pawtential recipe with no flavouring meat — 4% peanut flour and egg yolk powder instead — and in the XS pack it comes as six slim sticks suited to a dog that weighs less than a bag of sugar. The sweet, nutty smell is what usually wins over a small dog that refuses savoury chews.

Pedigree Wholesale list the range flavour as Peanut Butter; the ingredient is peanut flour rather than a butter, so the chew is dry and firm rather than soft. Six sticks per pack makes it easy to keep one back for a vet visit or a car journey.

Performance & Benefits

• 4% peanut flour with egg yolk powder and no flavouring meat.
• Six XS sticks per pack, the right scale for a toy breed.
• 68% crude protein against 3% crude fat.
• The one recipe in the range that tempts dogs which refuse meat and fish.
• Collagen on a beef gelatine base, more digestible than traditional rawhide.
• Vitamin E 300mg/kg, preserved only with rosemary extract.

Suitable For

• Toy and extra-small breeds under about 5kg.
• Fussy small dogs that turn down savoury chews.
• Keeping a chew in the bag for appointments and journeys.
• Not for dogs sensitive to peanut, egg, chicken or beef — all four are in the composition.
• Unsafe to give a big dog, which will swallow one whole; the Pawtential Collagen Chew Large 110g is the size for a labrador.

Feeding

• Complementary treat only, fed with a complete and balanced diet.
• 291 kcal per 100g; Pedigree Wholesale publish no per-stick calorie figure for the XS.
• No daily feeding rate is published for the range, so none is stated here.
• Fresh drinking water should be available alongside.

Care & Caution

• Contains peanut flour and egg yolk powder — keep away from dogs that react to either.
• Also contains 12.36% chicken breast and 64% beef gelatine, so it is not a single-protein chew.
• An XS stick is swallowable whole by a medium or large dog. Give these only to very small dogs, under supervision.
• Remove the final worn piece rather than letting it be gulped.
