Whimzees Stix Dental Dog Chew – Large, Box of 50

Whimzees Stix Dental Dog Chew – Large, Box of 50

The Stix is the plainest shape in the range and the one that lasts longest for it — a twisted length with no thin sections to snap off, so the dog has to work from one end rather than break it in half. Fifty of them is around seven weeks of daily chewing for one dog.

These are the Large, 174 kcal a chew, for dogs of 18–27kg. Whimzees make the Stix in five sizes from XS to XL, and the calorie figures they publish run from 22 kcal at XS to 348 at XL, so sizing genuinely matters here.

Performance & Benefits

• 50 Large chews, roughly seven weeks at one a day for one dog.
• Twisted length with no weak point, so it lasts longer than the sculpted shapes.
• 174 kcal per Large chew — about 8,700 kcal across the box.
• No meat, no cereal grain. Fat 2.0%, fibre 7.2%.
• Made in five sizes, so the size choice can follow the dog rather than the shelf.
• Lowest cost per chew of the Stix options we list.

Suitable For

• Dogs of 18–27kg, fed one chew a day.
• Fast chewers who demolish the sculpted shapes in seconds.
• Multi-dog households on a daily dental routine.
• Dogs on meat-free or limited-ingredient diets.
• Small dogs of 7–11kg should not be given a Large Stix — the Whimzees Alligator Small is a better fit.

Feeding

• One correctly sized chew per day.
• 174 kcal per Large chew, 50 chews per box.
• Whimzees publish per-size calories for the Stix: XS 22, S 44, M 87, L 174, XL 348 kcal.
