Wholesomes Rewards Chewy Sticks Dog Treat (25 oz)

Soft Grain-Free Chewy Sticks with Sweet Potato and Flaxseed

Product Description

Wholesomes Rewards Chewy Sticks are soft, chewy training treats available in three proteins, whitefish, lamb, and beef, each made with the named protein as the first ingredient and paired with sweet potato and flaxseed. Free from corn, wheat, grains, and gluten, these sticks are naturally smoked for a flavor dogs respond to and preserved with potassium sorbate and rosemary extract. Supplemental feeding only; not a complete and balanced food.

Benefits 

• Named Protein First Ingredient: Each variant lists its protein meal first, confirming it as the primary and dominant ingredient throughout the treat recipe.
• Sweet Potato Superfood: Sweet potato adds natural fiber, beta-carotene, and antioxidants that contribute to digestive health and coat vitality alongside the protein base.
• Flaxseed for Skin and Coat: Flaxseed is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids that boost healthy skin with every treat given to your dog.
• Grain-Free and Gluten-Free: No corn, wheat, grains, or gluten anywhere in any of the three recipes, making these a practical option for dogs sensitive to common grains.
• Natural Smoke Flavor: A natural smoke flavoring is included to create a savory, wood-smoked taste that dogs find appealing without the use of artificial flavoring agents.

How to Use  

Directions for Use   

• Feed alongside regular food: These sticks are for supplemental use only and are not a complete and balanced food; always give alongside your dog's regular daily diet.
• Break for training use: The soft, chewy texture breaks apart by hand without crumbling; snap into smaller pieces for high-frequency training rewards during sessions.
• Keep to the 10% rule: Factor each treat into your dog's daily calorie total; calorie content varies by protein variant so check the label for the exact per-treat figure.

Additional Information

Precautions  

• Contains chicken fat: All three variants use chicken fat as a fat source; dogs with documented chicken sensitivities should have this noted before introducing these treats.
• Supplemental feeding only: These treats are not a complete and balanced food; always feed alongside a complete primary diet formulated for your dog's life stage.
• Facility allergen notice: Produced in a facility that processes other pet food products and ingredients; trace amounts of other proteins are possible in any variant.

Storage Information

• Seal after each use: Roll or clip the bag shut after every session. Leaving it open lets air in and the soft texture dries out faster than expected.
• Cool and dry location: Keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sun. Heat gets to soft chewy treats faster than hard biscuits.
• Do not refrigerate: The fridge isn't needed and the temperature change can affect the soft, chewy texture over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do all three variants share the same base ingredients?

Ans: Yes. Whitefish, lamb, and beef variants all share the same base formula: peas, tapioca, pea starch, sweet potato, glycerin, chicken fat, dried egg, flaxseed, and the same natural smoke flavor. The only difference between them is which protein meal sits at the top of the ingredient list.

Q2: Why does the calorie count differ between the three variants?

Ans: Each variant uses a different protein meal with a slightly different fat and calorie density. The beef sticks are the highest calorie per treat, making them a better fit for larger or more active dogs. The lamb sticks are the lowest, which suits smaller dogs or those on calorie-managed diets.

Q3: Are these treats suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities?

Ans: Yes. None of the three variants contain corn, wheat, grains, or gluten. The carbohydrate base uses peas, tapioca, and pea starch instead. However, if your dog has documented legume sensitivities, the pea content is worth checking with your veterinarian before introducing any of the three variants.

Q4: Is the whitefish variant a good option for dogs with skin sensitivity?

Ans: Yes. Whitefish meal is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and the whitefish variant specifically guarantees both omega-3 and omega-6 levels in the guaranteed analysis. These fatty acids enhance a healthy skin barrier and coat condition, making the whitefish option a practical treat choice for dogs dealing with skin sensitivity.

Q5: Can these be broken into smaller pieces for training?

Ans: Yes. The soft, chewy format breaks apart cleanly by hand without crumbling. Smaller pieces work well for high-frequency training rewards, smaller breeds, or any session where you want to reward frequently without giving a full stick each time.

Q6: Do these treats contain any artificial preservatives?

Ans: No artificial preservatives are used. Potassium sorbate is the preservative in the recipe; it is a widely used, food-safe preservative commonly found in human food products. Rosemary extract is also included as a natural antioxidant that helps maintain freshness throughout the shelf life.

Q7: How should these treats be stored after opening?

Ans: Roll or clip the bag shut after every session to keep air out and preserve the soft texture. Store in a cool spot away from heat and direct sun. No refrigeration needed.
