Calibra Joy Dog Classic Beef Sticks 250 grams

Calibra Joy Dog Classic Beef Sticks is a semi-soft dog treat, in a 250-gram format, made with dehydrated beef (85%) and rice flour (10%). It can be used as a reward and as a training aid, always as an occasional supplement to a balanced diet.

What is it for

It's a digestible treat with no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavorings. It's a single-protein (beef) product and gluten-free, making it suitable for dogs with sensitive digestion or common food allergies. It is not a substitute for a complete diet.

How does it happen?

• Small breed dogs (less than 10 kg): 1-2 sticks per day.
• Medium dogs (10-25 kg): 2-3 sticks per day.
• Large dogs (over 25 kg): 3-5 sticks per day.

Recommended for dogs 4 months and older. Cut it into pieces if giving the treat to miniature dogs or dogs with weak teeth, always supervise them while they eat, and leave fresh water available.

Composition and presentation

• Dehydrated beef 85%: high biological value protein, with leucine, lysine and valine.
• Rice flour 10%: hypoallergenic carbohydrate, highly digestible and low in gluten.
• Moisture 14%, crude protein 36%, crude fat 2%, crude fiber 1% and crude ash 5%.

Precautions

Do not give this to your dog if they have a known allergy to beef protein. In rare cases, it can cause loose stools if given in excess or if your dog has a very sensitive digestive system. If your dog has kidney or liver disease, consult your veterinarian, as the protein intake needs to be monitored in these cases.

FAQ

Can it be part of an elimination diet?

Only if beef has already been validated as a tolerated protein in your dog's dietary protocol. Since beef is the sole protein source and rice is the carbohydrate, it's easy to incorporate when that protein is permitted.

Does it contain gluten or allergenic grains?

No. The only source of carbohydrates is rice flour, which is low in gluten, and the product does not contain gluten-containing grains. It's a suitable option for dogs with sensitive digestion, provided they don't have a beef allergy.

How do I store it once it's opened?

Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed or in a zip-top bag, and consume within 7 to 10 days of opening. Remember that it contains no artificial preservatives, so it's best to respect that timeframe.

Is it suitable for training?

Yes. Its semi-soft texture and palatability make it ideal as positive reinforcement. Count the sticks within the daily amount corresponding to your dog's weight, from 1 to 5 per day, and break them into pieces if your dog is a miniature breed.

Does this snack make you fat?

In excess, yes. It must be included in the dog's total daily calorie intake. It contains 2% crude fat and 36% crude protein, and is compatible with hypoallergenic diets and weight management plans, with calorie adjustments.
