Core features | • Double-layer structure: Meaty outer layer + chewy/nutritious inner core, combining palatability and chewing time. • Low-temperature air-drying process (60-80℃) retains meaty flavor and reduces water activity (≤0.85), achieving a shelf life of 12-18 months without preservatives. • High in protein and low in fat (primarily meat in the outer layer), the inner core can be made with vegetables, fruits, or hide to provide dietary fiber or teeth-cleaning benefits. • Tough and chewy, helps clean teeth, relieves anxiety, and reduces destructive behavior. • Can be used as an interactive reward, daily teething stick, or training snack. • No artificial colors or palatability enhancers (customizable additive-free version available). |

Additional Notes (Customized Services and Export Compliance ) | • OEM/ODM One-Stop Service : We can adjust the hardness and diameter according to the client's target market (e.g., Europe and America prefer medium-sized chew sticks, Asia-Pacific prefers small soft sticks). We are particularly skilled at incorporating functional ingredients (such as glucosamine and probiotics) into the core, differentiating it from ordinary meat sticks. • Export Compliance : Air-dried meat rolls/ sticks require attention to the quarantine requirements of some countries for "cowhide products." We use traceable Brazilian or Chinese cowhide and provide proof of being from disease-free areas. The outer meat layer meets the safety standards for exported pet food ingredients. • Applicable Scenarios and Selling Points : Suitable as a daily chew toy substitute for dogs, a comfort treat in the crate, or a high-value reward after training. Meat rolls/ sticks prolong chewing time, helping to reduce tartar buildup while satisfying their chewing instincts. Compared to pure cowhide sticks, the outer layer of real meat is more appealing to picky eaters. |
