Pawtato Low Fat Gluten Free Seaweed Tubes

Dogs don't much care where a chew came from; they care whether it's still worth chewing ten minutes in, which rules out most things marketed as long-lasting.

This one is a vegan alternative to rawhide, built from rice flour and sweet potato flour with a small amount of seaweed (0.2%) added. It's a 90G pack of tubes, low in protein and fat by design — 1.5% protein, 1% fat — because it's a chew rather than a meal, and it's free from meat, wheat, dairy and eggs.

• Vegan dog chew, made from rice flour, corn starch and sweet potato flour
• Protein 1.5%, fat 1%, crude fibre 1%, moisture 18%
• Seaweed included at 0.2%
• Free from meat, wheat, dairy and eggs
• Labelled gluten free — not the same as grain-free
• Suitable for puppies over 4 months and dogs of all sizes; 90G pack

On "gluten free." The label's gluten-free claim holds up against the ingredients — there's no wheat, barley or rye on the list — but it is not a grain-free chew. Rice flour is 45% of it and corn starch is in there too, both grains, so anyone shopping specifically grain-free should look elsewhere. Pawtato don't publish how much a dog gets through in one sitting, so treat portioning by eye rather than by a number that doesn't exist.

Who it's for: owners looking for a meat-free, wheat-free chew for a puppy over 4 months or an adult dog, rather than owners specifically avoiding all grains.
