Whimzees Puppy Stix XS/S Dental Dog Treats - 28 pcs

Whimzees Puppy Stix XS/S Dental Dog Treats is Whimzees' dental chew for puppies — softer than the adult Stix, with added calcium, and the only chew in the range a dog can have before nine months.

Key Benefits

• Softer than the adult Whimzees shapes, which is the whole point: puppy teeth and gums are not ready for a firm chew.
• Contains calcium carbonate, which Whimzees say supports growing teeth and bones.
• Two shapes in the bag — a bone and a ridged stick.
• Whimzees' claim is triple care: clean teeth, fresh breath and healthy gums when the chew is given daily.
• Whimzees label it grain-free, gluten-free and hypo-allergenic, made with non-GMO ingredients and no added meat, wheat, corn, dairy, sugar, egg, artificial colour, flavour or preservative.

Which Size

• This is the XS/S pack — Whimzees size it for dogs 2–9 kg.
• 28 chews, 210 g net.
• About 24 kcal per chew. One a day is the serving.
• That is four weeks at one chew a day.
• Every size of Puppy Stix comes in the same 210 g pack — the size changes how big each chew is, not how much chew you get. The smaller the size, the more chews in the bag and the longer it lasts.

Good To Know

• One chew is the whole daily serving. It is a treat, not a meal — count it towards the day's calories and take a little off the food bowl if your dog gains weight easily.
• Whimzees' own warning, worth repeating: swallowing any piece without chewing it properly can be harmful or even fatal. Stay in the room, and take away the last stub if your dog tries to gulp it.
• A daily chew works between brushes — it does not replace brushing or a dental check. If your dog's breath changes suddenly, or the gums look red, sore or bleed, that is a vet visit, not a chew.
• Keep the pack sealed and out of the sun. These are starch chews and a hot car or a sunny shelf will soften them — worth knowing through a UAE summer.
• Made in Holland.
• Whimzees have changed their size bands over the years and older bags print different weight ranges. The chart above is their current one — if the bag you receive says something different, go by the bag.
