Dreambone Sticks Wrapped with Real Chicken

Corn syrup / added sugar

Pets have no dietary need for added sugar. It adds empty calories and contributes to weight gain and dental disease.

Carrageenan

Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but degraded forms cause intestinal inflammation in lab animals and studies disagree on how much degradation happens during digestion. Common in pâté-style cat food.

Artificial colours

Pets are effectively colour-blind to these distinctions - the dye exists to appeal to the human buying it. Some have been linked to hyperactivity in children and offer zero nutritional benefit.
