Blue Buffalo Chicken & Spearmint Dental Chews, 33 oz, 21 ct, large

Inside the 33 oz bag

This 33 oz bag holds 21 Blue Buffalo dental chews for dogs in a chicken and spearmint flavour. The chews are stick-shaped and sized for dogs weighing 50 lb and over, so each of the 21 sticks is built for a large dog rather than a small one.

One treat is intended per day. The package describes the chews as for intermittent or supplemental feeding.

Chicken, spearmint and the rest of the recipe

The recipe lists brown rice, pea starch, dried chicken, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, powdered cellulose, honey, lecithin, sunflower oil and flaxseed among its ingredients, with parsley and spearmint further down the list. Gelatin is included as a source of collagen.

Blue Buffalo leaves chicken and poultry by-product meals out of the chews, and the recipe also excludes corn, wheat and soy. No artificial flavours or preservatives are added, and the chews are made in the USA.

Ridges, shape and daily feeding

Each chew carries 50 ridges and grooves moulded into its surface. The texture is part of how the stick is shaped, not a separate accessory, and the stick form is what the package calls its item form.

The directions say to give one treat per day. For feeding, the chews are supplemental or intermittent only, so they sit alongside a dog's regular food rather than in place of it.

Does this chew suit a dog under 50 lb?

No, the chews are sized for dogs weighing 50 lb and over. A dog below that weight would be outside the stated size range, so check the number on the scale before opening the bag.

The bag itself weighs 936 g (2.06 lb) and holds 33 ounces of product across 21 sticks. The chews are chicken and spearmint flavour, and they contain chicken as a named ingredient plus gelatin, so a dog with a known reaction to either should be kept away.
