How to Use

Directions for Use 

• One per day only: Allow one Ziggie daily; these are a daily dental treat, not a free-feeding snack, and the serving is set for caloric balance.
• Stuff inside a KONG: Push the Ziggie into a KONG Classic, Extreme, or Tires and vary its position to change how hard your dog works to get it out.
• Supervise while chewing: Always watch your dog to ensure they chew the treat properly before swallowing.

Additional Information

Precautions  

• Age and weight minimum: For dogs over 6 months and over 6 lbs (Small) or over 15 lbs (Medium/Large).
• Not a complete meal: These are supplemental dental treats; always give alongside your dog's regular balanced daily diet, not as a replacement.
• Check for sensitivities: Although free from wheat, corn, and soy, consult your vet before introducing if your dog has documented food allergies.

Storage Information 

• Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sun to preserve freshness and the chewy texture between uses.
• Reseal after each use: Seal the bag tightly after every session; an open bag lets air in and the texture can change more quickly.
• No refrigeration required: These store at room temperature; refrigeration is not required and may affect the chewy texture over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is PhytoDent™ sea kelp and why is it included?

Ans: PhytoDent™ is dried sea kelp included at 2.6% of the recipe. It is a natural occurring source of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and proteins, adding nutritional value on top of the dental cleaning benefit from the chewy texture itself.

Q2: Are these treats grain-free?

Ans: No. While free from wheat, corn, and soy, the recipe contains tapioca starch and potato flakes, which are starchy plant-based carbohydrates. If your dog requires a strictly grain-free diet, consult your veterinarian before introducing these treats.

Q3: How do these treats support dental health?

Ans: The firm, chewy texture mechanically scrubs teeth and massages gums while dogs chew. This daily mechanical action helps reduce and prevent plaque buildup and can freshen breath when incorporated into a regular oral care routine.

Q4: How do I use these inside a KONG toy?

Ans: Push the Ziggie into the opening of a KONG Classic, Extreme, or Tires and vary the position to change the difficulty level. Pairing it with KONG Easy Treat spread around the inside can extend the enrichment session further.

Q5: Can these be given every day?

Ans: Yes, one per day is the serving. They are formulated as a daily dental treat. At 3.5 kcal per gram, factor the daily treat into your dog's total caloric intake, particularly for smaller dogs on calorie-managed diets.

Q6: Are these suitable for dogs with food sensitivities?

Ans: The recipe is free from wheat, corn, soy, and animal protein, covering common allergen categories. Check the full ingredient list and consult your veterinarian before introducing them if your dog has documented food sensitivities or allergies.
