Wholesomes Rewards Chewy Mini Sticks Dog Treat (7 oz)

Bite-Sized Soft Grain-Free Mini Sticks for Training and Daily Rewarding

Product Description

Wholesomes Rewards Chewy Mini Sticks are bite-sized, soft, grain-free training treats available in three proteins, beef, chicken, and lamb, each made with the named protein meal as the first ingredient. Paired with sweet potato and flaxseed, and naturally smoked for a savory flavor dogs respond to, these mini sticks contain no corn, wheat, grains, or gluten. The small size makes them ideal for quick training rewards without overfeeding.

Benefits 

• Three Protein Options: Beef, chicken, and lamb give owners the flexibility to choose a protein based on their dog's palate, sensitivities, or a simple rotation between treats.
• Named Protein First Ingredient: Each variant lists its protein meal first in the ingredient list, confirming it as the primary and dominant ingredient across the full recipe.
• Sweet Potato Superfood: Sweet potato contributes natural fiber, beta-carotene, and antioxidants that support digestive health and skin vitality alongside the protein base.
• Natural Smoke Flavor: A natural smoke flavoring adds a savory, wood-smoked taste that dogs find appealing without the use of artificial flavor ingredients.

How to Use  

Directions for Use   

• Feed alongside regular food: These mini sticks are for supplemental use only and are not a complete and balanced food.
• Use the mini size for training: The small format is ideal for high-frequency rewarding during sessions; give one piece per reward to keep calorie intake controlled.
• Keep to the 10% rule: Factor each treat into your dog's daily calorie total; the per-treat calorie count varies between variants so check the label for the exact 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 any of the three variants.
• 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.
• Calorie gap between variants: The Lamb variant is significantly lower in calories per treat than Chicken or Beef; match the variant to your dog's size and daily calorie budget.

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: Why are these called "Mini Sticks"? How small are they?

Ans: The mini size is specifically designed for high-frequency training rewards. They're small enough to give one piece per reward without meaningfully impacting the dog's daily calorie budget, which is what makes them practical for training sessions.

Q2: Do all three variants share the same base formula?

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

Q3: Why does the calorie count differ so much between variants?

Ans: Each protein meal has a different calorie density based on its natural fat and protein composition. Lamb at 4 kcal per treat is the lowest per piece, making it ideal for smaller dogs or calorie-managed diets. Chicken at 20 kcal and beef at 15 kcal per treat suit medium and larger breeds more comfortably during regular training sessions.

Q4: Are these treats suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities?

Ans: Yes. None of the three variants contains corn, wheat, grains, or gluten. The carbohydrate base uses peas, tapioca, and pea starch instead. If your dog has documented legume sensitivities, the pea content across all three variants is worth checking with your veterinarian.

Q5: All three contain chicken fat. Does that mean they contain chicken protein?

Ans: No. Chicken fat is a rendered fat used as an energy source and flavoring, not a protein source. Only the chicken variant contains chicken as its primary protein. The beef and lamb variants do not contain chicken meal or chicken meat, only chicken fat. Dogs with chicken protein sensitivities may or may not react to chicken fat, so check with your vet if there's a documented allergy.

Q6: Is the lamb variant the best choice for small dogs?

Ans: The lamb variant at 4 kcal per treat is the lowest calorie option per piece, which makes it the most practical for small dogs where calorie management is tighter. Giving a small dog a full chicken or beef mini stick may use a larger portion of their daily treat allowance, whereas one lamb piece contributes very little to the overall calorie total.

Q7: Do these treats contain any artificial preservatives?

Ans: No artificial preservatives are used. Potassium sorbate is the listed preservative; it is a food-safe, widely used ingredient found in many human foods. Rosemary extract is also included as a natural antioxidant that helps maintain freshness. Neither is an artificial preservative.
