SmartBones Smart Twist Sticks Peanut Butter 50 Count

Overview

SmartBones Smart Twist Sticks are a 50 count bag of rawhide-free dog chews twisted from peanut butter, chicken and vegetables, positioned as an easy-to-digest daily chew that supports healthy teeth through the act of chewing.

The pitch here is digestibility rather than toughness: this is a rawhide alternative, not a heavy-duty chew. The package's 1 to 2 chews per day guidance is worth following closely, since at least one reviewer deliberately caps their dog at one a day to manage weight.

• 50 count bag of rawhide-free chews
• Twisted stick shape with real peanut butter, chicken and vegetables
• Vitamin and mineral enriched
• Feed 1 to 2 per day with supervision

Who it's for

Suited to owners of small to medium dogs wanting a rawhide-free daily chew, especially dogs that don't tolerate traditional rawhide well. Less suited to large, heavy chewers who could go through the stick shape quickly.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Each stick twists together real chicken, vegetables and peanut butter into a rawhide-free chew that's vitamin and mineral enriched, with the act of chewing itself credited for the dental benefit rather than any abrasive additive. The package calls for 1 to 2 sticks a day under supervision, and the stick's smaller diameter is sized for smaller dogs rather than heavy or large-breed chewers.
