Blue Buffalo Wilderness Small Dog Dental Chews, Grain-Free, 27 oz

Blue Buffalo sizes these grain-free dental dog treats for dogs weighing 15 to 25 lb, and the direction is one small bone a day. The bag holds 27 oz of them. Each bone is formed in a stick shape from a potato-based recipe that leaves out corn, wheat and soy. At 27.9 x 19.1 x 9.5 cm, the bag fits a shelf or bin of that footprint.

The recipe inside each small bone

Potatoes and potato starch are the first two ingredients, followed by vegetable glycerin, powdered cellulose and water. Dried whey, gelatin and pea protein come next, with sunflower lecithin, natural flavor and tricalcium phosphate further down the list. Sunflower oil, salt, zinc propionate and calcium carbonate complete it, and citric acid with mixed tocopherols preserve the bones; oil of rosemary is also listed.

The recipe contains no chicken or poultry by-product meals, no corn, wheat or soy, and no artificial flavours or preservatives. The manufacturer lists grain-free as a special ingredient and gives the bones the special features grain-free, cleans teeth and freshens breath.

Does your dog fall in the 15–25 lb range?

The manufacturer sizes these bones for dogs from 15 to 25 lb, and a dog outside that range is not covered by the feeding direction or the bone size. Weigh your dog before you buy if you are unsure which side of 15 or 25 lb it sits on. The bag is a single 27 oz unit with small bones, so the size of each bone is set by the small-bone style rather than by a second size option in this listing.

What the bones do beyond the daily chew

The manufacturer lists cleans teeth and freshens breath among the special features of these bones. Each one is formed as a stick, which is the item form Blue Buffalo states for the small bones. They are grain-free and built on potatoes and potato starch instead of corn, wheat or soy. No chicken or poultry by-product meals appear in the ingredient list, and no artificial flavours or preservatives are used.
