Canagan Chicken Softies Dog Treats 200g

Canagan Chicken Softies Dog Treats – 200g

Softies are Canagan's soft training treat: chicken at 41%, peas, a liquid vegetable starch to bind them, collagen at 4% and a half per cent of cinnamon. They tear easily into smaller pieces, which matters when you are getting through a lot of them in a session and do not want to hand over a meal's worth of calories.

The collagen is the reason to pick these over a biscuit — Canagan include it for skin, coat and nail condition. At 28% protein and only 5% fat they are leaner than most soft treats, and the 17% moisture is what keeps them pliable rather than crumbly.
