SmartBones SmartSticks Skin And Coat Care Dog Chews
The Smart Alternative To Rawhide
Chewing is an essential, healthy and enjoyable activity for dogs. Dog chews help keep teeth clean, jaws strong and are mentally stimulating to help prevent boredom and destructive behavior. As a pet parent, you should ensure that you satisfy your dog’s natural chewing instinct in a safe and satisfying way. Many veterinarians are concerned with the potential health risks associated with dogs consuming rawhide. These health risks include, stomach & intestinal blockage and potential ingestion of toxic chemicals used to process rawhide chews. In addition, there are serious negative environmental issues generated by the use of chemicals in processing rawhide products.
The popular SmartBone chew now offers support for your dog's healthy skin and coat. Like original SmartBones, this formula contains real chicken and vegetables - and NO rawhide. The light-colored portion of this grain-based chew contains vegetables and chicken. The colored portion contains chicken plus Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids from sunflower oil, marine lipids, and flax seed for the support of healthy skin and coat. SmartBones chews are completely free of rawhide for greater digestibility, yet they deliver all the chewing benefits of rawhide and are fortified with vitamins and minerals for overall health support.
