Whimzees Veggie Sausage Small Dental Dog Treats - 28 pcs

Whimzees Veggie Sausage Small Dental Dog Treats is Whimzees' sausage-shaped daily dental chew — a dimpled round stick made from potato starch and plant fibre, and the one recipe in the range finished with clove bud oil.

Key Benefits

• A round, dimpled sausage shape — thicker and chewier underfoot than the flat Stix.
• Finished with clove bud oil, which is why this recipe is the one Whimzees pitch at breath.
• Whimzees' claim is that the texture reduces plaque and tartar and freshens breath when the chew is given daily.
• Whimzees label the recipe grain-free, hypo-allergenic and vegetarian, with no meat, wheat, corn, dairy, sugar, egg, artificial colour, flavour or preservative added. It does contain malt extract.
• Contains added calcium carbonate.

Which Size

• This is the Small pack — Whimzees size it for dogs 7–12 kg (15–25 lb).
• 28 chews, 420 g net.
• About 45 kcal per chew. One a day is the serving.
• At one chew a day that is about 4 weeks' worth.
• Every size of Veggie Sausage comes in the same 420 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.
• Clove bud oil is the last and smallest thing on the ingredient list — a flavouring, not a dose. If your dog has reacted to essential oils before, or is on medication, check with your vet first.
