Product description

The full-size version of the Cupid & Comet pigs in blankets, Rosewood's Christmas dog range. A sausage wrapped in strips of chicken with cranberry through it, in a 90g festive pack. The point of the jumbo is chew time: a standard pig in blanket is gone in one bite and this one is not.

The label puts chicken at 57% and pork and pork by-products at 15%, with cranberries at 4%, then soy protein, wheat flour, corn starch, vegetable glycerine, sorbitol, salt and potassium sorbate. It is a semi-moist treat at 25% moisture rather than a baked biscuit, which is why it is chewier and more aromatic than its size suggests.

Chicken 57%, pork and pork by-products 15%, cranberries 4%
Analysis: protein 23%, fat 7%, fibre 1.5%, ash 3.5%, moisture 25%
90g pack, larger than the standard pigs in blankets
A complementary treat, fed alongside a proper diet

The blanket outweighs the pig, by nearly four to one. It is called a pig in blanket and the chicken wrap is 57% of it against 15% pork, so if you are buying it because your dog does better on pork than on poultry, this is the wrong treat. The pork that is in it is declared as “pork and pork by-products” rather than named cuts, which is normal for this kind of wrapped treat and worth knowing if you read labels closely. At 23% protein and 7% fat it is rich, so take it off the day's food rather than adding it on top.

Who it's for: a medium or large dog that deserves something proper on Christmas morning, and an owner who would rather give one long chew than a handful of little ones.

Why we chose it

Christmas dog treats are usually small, soft and gone in a second, and we wanted one a big dog would have to work at. It is also one of the few festive treats on the shelf that publishes a full analysis, which is what let us tell you the chicken outweighs the pork rather than leaving you to assume from the name.

Common questions

What is actually in it?

Chicken at 57%, pork and pork by-products at 15% and cranberries at 4%, plus soy protein, wheat flour, corn starch, vegetable glycerine, sorbitol, salt and potassium sorbate.

Is there more chicken than pork?

Yes, and by a long way. The chicken blanket is 57% of the treat and the pork sausage 15%.

What does the analysis say?

Protein 23%, crude fat 7%, crude fibre 1.5%, crude ash 3.5% and moisture 25%. The moisture figure is why it is chewy rather than crunchy.

How is it different from the standard pigs in blankets?

Same idea at a larger size, in a 90g pack. The standard version comes as several small pieces; this is the one that lasts.

How many can my dog have?

The pack says to feed as a treat as part of a well-balanced diet, with fresh water always available, and gives no number. At 23% protein and 7% fat we would treat a jumbo chew as one a day at most for a medium or large dog, and count it as part of the day’s food.
