Pooch & Mutt Beef Collagen Chews

A chew that's mostly collagen rather than mostly filler is a different proposition to the usual rawhide alternative, and it's worth checking which one you're actually buying before assuming they're interchangeable.

This one is 70% Beef Collagen, with glycerin (18.4%), potato starch (8.3%), tripe (1%), turmeric (2%) and a trace of vegetable oil. Crude protein comes out at 69.9%, crude fat at 3.5%, crude fibre at 0.4% and crude ash at 2.9%, at 370 kcal per 100g. It's grain and chicken-free, meant as one chew a day per dog rather than a complete food, and comes as a pack of 2.

• Beef Collagen (70%) is the main ingredient
• Crude protein 69.9%, crude fat 3.5%
• Tripe (1%) and turmeric (2%) also included
• Grain-free and chicken-free
• One chew a day per dog; not a complete food
• Pack of 2

Not a food, and not unlimited. At 370 kcal per 100g this is calorific for its size, and the guidance is one chew a day, adjusted for the dog's activity level, breed, age and weight. It's a complementary chew, not something to feed freely alongside a full meal plan without accounting for the calories.

Who it's for: owners of a dog that can't have chicken, wanting a grain-free, chicken-free chew built mostly from collagen rather than a rawhide alternative padded with starch.
