Dog Delights Chewy Duck Sticks Dog Treats, made with Canadian duck

Dog Delights chewy duck sticks are made to be handed out as a training aid or a reward, and one 1 kg pack holds enough to keep a routine going. The recipe starts with Canadian farm-raised duck, and each treat carries 32 kcal. Dogs of all breeds and sizes can eat them.

Checks before you buy duck dog treats

The manufacturer states that the sticks suit dogs of any breed and any size, so no weight class is excluded. Each stick provides 32 kcal, which is the number to compare against your dog's daily food when you plan to hand out several in a session. The pack weighs 998 g (2.2 lb) and measures 32.7 x 20.9 x 10.7 cm, so it needs a shelf or bin of at least that footprint. Because the ducks are raised without antibiotics, the duck ingredient itself meets that specification.
