Hunter Calcium Milk Bone Dog Treat

Hunter Calcium Milk Bone Dog Treat is the full-size version of Hunter's milk bone - a bone-shaped biscuit treat for everyday rewarding, in two sizes. Hunter say the bone shape and texture can be a tasty way to help clean teeth while your dog chews.

Key Features

• Two Sizes: S at 23g per bone and M at 54g per bone. Pick above.
• Bone-Shaped Biscuit: firm enough to be chewed rather than swallowed, which is where any teeth-cleaning benefit comes from.
• With Calcium, as the name says.

About The Calcium

• A treat is not a calcium supplement, and it should not be. A complete dog food already provides the calcium a dog needs, and the amount in a few bone-shaped treats is not meant to add to that.
• This matters most for large-breed puppies. Too much calcium while a big dog is growing is linked to skeletal problems, so if you have a large-breed puppy do not add calcium to their diet - from treats, powders or anything else - without asking your vet first.
• For an adult dog on a complete food, these are simply milk-flavoured biscuit bones. Enjoy them as that.

Good To Know

• Choose S (23g) or M (54g) above. For a puppy or a very small dog, the Mini Calcium Milk Bone 90g pack is the better buy.
• Hunter's teeth-cleaning claim is about chewing, not treatment. Chewing can help lift soft plaque, but it does not remove hardened tartar and it is not a substitute for brushing or a vet dental check. Persistent bad breath is a reason to see your vet, not to buy more treats.
• Treats should stay a small part of the day - about a tenth of the calories is the usual guidance - and come out of meals rather than on top of them.
• Supervise your dog while they chew, and take the last small piece away rather than letting it be swallowed whole.
• Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry cupboard. UAE humidity softens a firm chew, which is what usually makes a dog lose interest in one.
• Fresh water alongside, always, and check the bowl twice a day in UAE heat.
• Hunter do not state a country of origin on this listing. Ask us if that matters to you.
