Ingredients and Formulation
The primary ingredient is deboned beef, supported by potatoes and peas as digestible carbohydrate sources. Flaxseed and safflower oil contribute natural fatty acids. Glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and L-carnitine are included as functional ingredients. Sweet potato is part of the flavor profile. The formula contains no artificial additives, corn, wheat, or soy.
Texture, Size, and Feeding Guidance
These treats are sized specifically for large breed dogs, offering a soft, moist texture that can be broken apart if needed for smaller dogs or portion control. Chew time is minimal - these are designed for fast consumption rather than extended chewing. Adjust piece size and frequency based on your dog's size, weight, and activity level.
Training Treats - Functional Use
The larger bite size makes these treats well-suited for large breed dogs during obedience training, recall practice, or behavior reinforcement without requiring the owner to break pieces apart. The soft texture allows for quick consumption so training momentum is not interrupted. Suitable for use in multiple short sessions throughout the day when portioned appropriately.

- Feed as a treat - not intended as a complete diet
- Adjust daily food portions to account for treat calories
- Provide fresh water at all times
- Store in a cool, dry place and reseal bag after each use to maintain freshness
