Pork Chomps Munchy Sticks Assorted

Words · Craig & Sammy  |  ASIN B00X4S4IIK

Yorkies have a natural instinct to chew, and satisfying that urge safely is essential for their dental health and mental stimulation. These Pork Chomps munchy sticks offer a rawhide-free alternative that is gentler on your Yorkie's sensitive digestive system.

With 50 sticks in each pack, you have months of happy chewing ahead. Perfect for keeping your Yorkie occupied while you work from home or need a few moments of peace.

A Field Note

On choosing the right training treats.

Four small, repeatedly-useful instructions, refined over a winter of testing and one regrettable rainstorm.

i

Small-breed kibble, always.

Standard kibble is the size of a Yorkie's molar. Small-breed formulas have smaller, denser pieces designed for tiny mouths.

ii

Single-protein for sensitive guts.

Yorkies are prone to soft stools. A single protein source — chicken, fish, or lamb — narrows the guesswork when something disagrees.

iii

Treats are calories.

A Yorkie's daily calorie budget is roughly 200. Two large biscuits is most of breakfast — break treats into thirds.

iv

Fresh water, twice a day.

Small bowls grow biofilm faster than large ones. Refresh, don't top up.
