Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What proteins are used in these jerky treats?

Ans: Real chicken and duck are both featured as primary ingredients. Both are quality protein sources that support muscle development and energy, making these treats a nutritious, high-protein reward for dogs of all sizes and life stages.

Q2: Are these treats suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities?

Ans: These treats contain ground rice, so they are not grain-free. Dogs with rice or grain sensitivities should avoid them. Always review the full ingredient list and consult your veterinarian if your dog has a known grain-related sensitivity or allergy.

Q3: What makes these jerky treats different from soft chew treats?

Ans: These are slowly oven-dried jerky cuts, which give them a firmer, more satisfying texture compared to soft chews. They are still easy to tear into smaller pieces, making them versatile for dogs of all sizes and convenient for training use.

Q4: How many treats can I give my dog per day?

Ans: Daily amounts depend on your dog's weight. Small dogs (5–10 lbs.) should receive half a treat, while large dogs over 50 lbs. can have three to four treats daily. Treats should always remain supplemental and not exceed 10% of daily caloric intake.

Q5: Do these treats contain any artificial preservatives or colors?

Ans: No. These treats contain no artificial preservatives, synthetic colors, or artificial flavors. Paprika is used as a natural colorant, and natural smoke flavor enhances the meaty taste, keeping the formula clean per Blue Buffalo's True BLUE Promise.

Q6: Are these treats made in the USA?

Ans: Yes, these treats are made in the USA. Blue Buffalo uses natural ingredients and manufactures all True Chews products domestically, ensuring consistent quality, safety standards, and ingredient integrity throughout the entire production process.

Q7: Can these treats be used as training rewards?

Ans: Yes. Their easy-to-tear jerky texture makes them simple to break into smaller bite-sized pieces, ideal for positive reinforcement training. Using smaller pieces also helps manage caloric intake during sessions where treats are given frequently.

Q8: How should these treats be stored after opening?

Ans: Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the bag tightly after each use. For the best flavor and freshness, use within 30 days of opening. Proper storage prevents the jerky treats from drying out further or developing mold due to moisture.

Q9: Are these treats appropriate for senior dogs?

Ans: Yes. While these are jerky-style treats with a firmer texture than soft chews, they can still be torn into smaller, more manageable pieces for senior dogs. Dogs with significant dental issues should be supervised or offered smaller torn pieces.

Q10: What is the calorie content of these jerky treats per piece?

Ans: Each piece contains approximately 44 kcal, with a metabolizable energy of 3,400 kcal/kg. Monitoring per-piece caloric content helps pet owners ensure daily treat intake stays within the recommended 10% of the dog's total daily caloric needs.
