Whimzees Dental Chews for Dogs, 7.4 oz Bag, 28 Count, Extra-Small Size, Daily Brushzees

Whimzees Brushzees dog dental chews come as 28 chews in a 7.4 oz bag, sized for extra-small dogs that weigh between 5 and 15 lbs. The manufacturer sets the daily amount at one chew for an adult dog. Each chew is vegetarian and grain-free, so a household that keeps meat or grains off the menu has a chew it can offer every day.

Potato starch, alfalfa and the rest of the recipe

The recipe starts from potato starch, with glycerin, powdered cellulose, lecithin, dried yeast, malt extract, sweet lupin meal and paprika extract alongside it. Alfalfa extract is listed as a special ingredient, and fibre is part of the mix as well. The manufacturer makes the chews without artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and no meat goes in. Sweet lupin meal supplies the protein in a recipe that is vegetarian, and paprika extract sits among the ingredients that give the chews their colour.

Fat is kept low in these chews. A dog that gets one chew a day receives the same recipe each time, since every chew in the bag is made to the Brushzees shape and the same ingredient list.

How many chews does a 7.4 oz bag hold?

The bag holds 28 chews and weighs 191 g (6.7 oz) in total. At the manufacturer's rate of one chew a day for an adult dog, 28 chews cover 28 days of daily feeding.

Which dogs are the extra-small chews meant for?

Whimzees sizes these chews for extra-small dogs weighing 5–15 lbs. A dog outside that weight range falls outside the manufacturer's stated size.

How does the bag fit in a cupboard?

The pack measures 8 x 16.2 x 26.2 cm (3.1 x 6.4 x 10.3 in). That is the space it takes up on a shelf between feeds.

Is there meat in these chews?

No meat is used, and the manufacturer lists the chews as vegetarian. The recipe is also grain-free and low in fat.

What is one chew a day made of?

Each chew contains potato starch, glycerin, powdered cellulose, lecithin, dried yeast, malt extract, sweet lupin meal, paprika extract and alfalfa extract, with fibre among the ingredients. No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives are added.

What the daily chew brings to the routine

One chew a day is the manufacturer's direction for an adult dog, which makes the bag a 28-day supply at that rate. A chew sized for a 5–15 lb dog is a single piece per day rather than a portion to break up.

The Brushzees shape is a treat form, and the manufacturer lists dental care and breath care among its uses. The vegetarian, grain-free recipe carries fibre and alfalfa extract, and fat stays low. Because the chews contain no meat and no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, the ingredient list stays short and readable for anyone comparing it with the rest of the dog's food.
