Feeding
Dogs love our drumstick chews. We do however encourage our pet parents not to exceed ten percent of of your dog’s daily caloric intake with treats. We recommend treats as a supplement rather than as a replacement for a meal. A tummy upset could be the result of too much of a good thing. Please supervise your pets when you give them a treat, especially when it is one they have not had before so that you can monitor they way your dog responds to the treat. Chews or treats can be a potential choking hazards. It is also essential to have a bowl of fresh drinking water because water aids the digestion process. Discard the bits of treat that is not consumed. Our treats are super tasty as endorsed by many furkids far and wide. Even so, we do not recommend our treats for human consumption.
