Pedigree Jumbone – Small, Chicken Dog Chew

Pedigree Jumbone Mini – Small Dog, Chicken and Lamb, 4 Chews

The small-dog Jumbone, which Pedigree call Jumbone Mini: four chews in a 160g pack, in the chicken and lamb recipe. Same idea as the full-size chew — a tough chewy outer around a soft centre — scaled so a terrier or a small crossbreed can actually work through one rather than give up on it.

Worth knowing when you compare listings: the store title says Chicken, but Pedigree's recipe is chicken and lamb, and the barcode on this pack — 5998749139615, a Hungarian GS1 number — decodes to Pedigree's Jumbone Mini Chicken & Lamb 160g four-chew pack rather than to any beef variant.

Performance & Benefits

• Chewy outer and soft centre, so a small dog has something to occupy it rather than a one-bite biscuit.
• Chicken and lamb recipe — a change from the beef and poultry version for a dog that will not take beef.
• Sized for dogs under 10kg, so the chew is proportionate to the jaw.
• Four chews per pack, enough for a month at Pedigree's weekly rate.
• Developed with nutritionists and veterinary surgeons at the Waltham Petcare Science Institute.

Suitable For

• Adult small dogs under about 10kg.
• A weekly reward, or half an hour of quiet.
• Dogs that will not eat beef, or households rotating protein sources.
• Small dogs that find a medium Jumbone too much to get through.
• Not enough chew for a dog over 10kg — Pedigree Jumbone Medium in beef and poultry is the right size there.

Feeding

• Feed as an occasional treat, not as part of the daily ration.
• Reduce the main meal on the day a chew is given.
• Feed the chew whole rather than cutting it up.
• Give it in a settled spot with water available.

Composition & Analysis

• Pedigree's UK site lists Jumbone Mini Chicken & Lamb as a 160g pack of 4 chews but does not set out a composition, analytical constituents or additive declaration for this recipe, so none is stated here.
• The figures published for the beef and poultry Jumbone are for a different recipe and are deliberately not carried across.
• 160g pack, 4 chews, barcode 5998749139615.
• Pedigree also make the Mini in beef and poultry, and the same idea at Medium and Maxi size.

Care & Caution

• Supervise your dog while it eats a Jumbone. Pedigree give this instruction for the range.
• Feed it whole and do not cut it into pieces.
• Remove the last stub once it is small enough to be swallowed in one.
• Treats of this size add up quickly on a small dog — one a week is Pedigree's guidance for the range, not one a day.
