Whimzees Alligator Dental Dog Chew – Large, Box of 30

Whimzees Alligator Dental Dog Chew – Large, Box of 30

Thirty Large Alligators, which at one a day is a calendar month of dental care for a single dog of 18–27kg. It is the sensible quantity for a household that has decided the shape works and wants to stop buying it a few at a time.

Each chew is the full Large, 176 kcal, with the same knobbly back and open grooves as the single. Thirty of those is a little over 5,000 kcal across the month, which is worth knowing if the dog is already carrying weight.
