Chew Hot Dog for dogs - vegetable with papaya in sheepskin 2 pcs

Hot dog for dogs in the vegetable version with papaya is a chew whose shape nods to the famous snack, while its recipe has nothing in common with it. The base is vegetables: parsnip, carrot and pumpkin, complemented by chia seeds and linseed. The whole is wrapped in sheep skin, and the recipe also contains dried sheep, so it is not a meat-free product.

What this chew does

Above all, it satisfies the natural need to chew, which is strong in dogs regardless of age. The elongated shape is easy to hold with the paws, which makes steady work with the teeth easier, and while chewing it helps remove excess deposits.

The second thing is purely practical: the chew keeps your dog busy for longer than a treat eaten in a second. This is the argument most valued by owners of dogs that get bored at home. Other formats can be found in chew hot dogs.

Why a vegetable base

Parsnip, carrot and pumpkin provide a structure your dog has to chew through rather than just swallow, and at the same time they don't raise the meat content of the whole recipe. It is a choice for an owner who wants to give the dog something to chew, but not another portion of meat during the day.

Sheep skin and dried sheep

The sheep skin forms the outer layer, which behaves differently from the inside, so your dog changes its grip while chewing. Sheep is also a rare protein in a dog's diet, which can be an added advantage. You will find the same raw material in Sheep Line bones.

What this chew doesn't contain

• No sugar or salt: the sweetness comes from carrot, pumpkin and papaya.
• No preservatives or colourings.
• Grain-free: the structure comes from potato starch and vegetables.
• Two pieces per pack: one for now, the other for another day.

How to give and store it

The chew is given whole, with no preparation, ideally when you want your dog to keep itself busy: after a walk, while you are working, or when something is going on at home that distracts it. The pack doesn't need a fridge; just keep it closed in a dry place.

Two pieces per pack let you spread this over two separate days, and on the first serving it is worth taking the chew away before your dog gets bored of it. Next time it will come back to it with greater interest.

Which dog is it for

It suits dogs that are just starting out with chews, because it is less demanding than a hard bone. It also works for dogs you want to keep busy without adding another portion of meat. On the first serving, it is worth being at home to see how your dog works on it.

If you are looking for something longer-lasting, take a look at dog chews, where you will find bones and chew hides.
