Nutri Chomps Rawhide-Free Dog Chews, 2.5 in Knots, Peanut Butter, 8 Count

These rawhide-free dog chews from Nutri Chomps are peanut butter flavoured knots measuring 2.5 inches, a size the manufacturer names for tiny dogs. The pack holds eight chews, and each one is completely edible, so there is nothing left behind to clean up afterwards. Chicken and pork skin go into the recipe, alongside real peanut butter.

Eight chews in a resealable bag

The bag contains eight knots in the peanut butter flavour, and it reseals after opening. The chews themselves are dry and shaped as knots.

How the chews are made and what they are for

• Seven vitamins and minerals are added to the recipe, among them vitamin E, riboflavin and manganese sulfate.
• The manufacturer lists the knots as high-protein dog chews.
• Each chew has a consistency the brand describes as neither too soft nor too hard.
• The chews are meant for keeping a dog occupied, for rewarding good behaviour, or as an everyday treat.
