Chewsticks

My Scottie Maisie adores chewsticks
the type like a cardboard pencil various colours
priced between a £1.00p. & £2.00p. per bundle of about 100.

Can anyone tell me what the recipe consists of as they appear to look like flavoured rolled woodchip
as a treat its always the first thing to be chosen out of her bowl.

I would like to give her several during the course of the day
as I tend to not over feed her and wondered if 3 or 4 over the course of the day would promote to much
weight gain.

Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
Thank You.

Harry.

Re: Chewsticks

I think the ones you mean are just pulped up rawhide and artificial colourings. I dont imagine the pieces of rawhide are big enough to do any harm but Im not sure wether the colourings would have any effect TBH.
I prefer to feed natural chews like pizzle, tripe or sinew personally.

Re: Chewsticks

I don't THINK rawhide has many calories - but don't quote me as I'm not sure.

I would be concerned about the amount of colourings and preservatives in chews like that though.

A more natural alternative such as Cow or Venison ears or the ones catz4m8z has suggested.

Zooplus is a great website for alternative chews
