Ingredient Transparency
The primary ingredient is deboned beef, a high-quality protein source that anchors a straightforward, grain-free formula. Potatoes and peas provide digestible carbohydrate sources, while flaxseed and safflower oil contribute natural fatty acids. Inulin is included as a prebiotic fiber source. The formula contains no artificial additives, grains, or gluten.
Texture, Size and Feeding Guidance
These treats are sized specifically for small breed dogs, offering a soft, moist texture that requires little to no breaking apart. Their small size makes them practical for high-frequency training sessions where quick delivery matters. Chew time is minimal - these are intended as quick rewards rather than extended chewing experiences. Consumption speed will vary by dog size and eating style.

The inclusion of prebiotic fiber and Omega fatty acids positions these treats as a functional option within a balanced daily routine.
