Dental Chews: Format and Benefits
Dental chews are the largest line, with 8 products. They come in two pack formats: 160g bags and 50-piece packs. Flavours include Fresh Mint, Cranberry, Milk Tea, Charcoal, Peanut Butter, and Milk. These chews are designed to help clean teeth and freshen breath through mechanical chewing action.
The 160g pack is ideal for smaller dogs or for trying a flavour, while the 50-piece pack offers a longer supply for multi-dog households or daily use. The chews are firm and textured, providing a satisfying chew that can help reduce plaque buildup.
In Malaysia's humid weather, dental chews should be stored in an airtight container after opening to prevent them from becoming soft or stale. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Meat-Based Treats: Venison and Cod Fish
The meat-based treats come in several forms: loin strips, jerky steaks, sandwiches, sticks, sushi, and dumbbells. Venison and cod fish are the primary proteins, often combined with whitefish. These treats are available in 100g packs.
Venison treats include the Venison Loin Strip, Venison Jerky Steak, Venison & Whitefish Sandwich, Venison Loin Stick, Venison & Whitefish Sushi, and Venison Dumbbell. Cod fish treats mirror these formats: Cod Fish Loin Strip, Cod Fish Jerky Steak, Cod Fish & Whitefish Sandwich, Cod Fish Loin Stick, Cod Fish Dumbbell, and Cod Fish & Whitefish Sushi.
These treats are likely air-dried or jerky-style, giving them a chewy texture that dogs enjoy. They are great for training or as a high-value reward. Because they are meat-based, they should be stored properly to maintain freshness in Malaysia's humidity. After opening, keep them in a sealed container or the original resealable bag if available.
Texture and Feeding Occasions
Dental chews have a firm, abrasive texture that helps scrape teeth clean. They are best given as a daily dental care routine or as a long-lasting chew to keep dogs occupied. The 50-piece packs are convenient for daily use.
Meat-based treats like jerky steaks and loin strips are softer and chewier, making them ideal for training rewards or quick snacks. The sushi and sandwich formats are fun shapes that add variety. Dumbbells and sticks are slightly larger and can be used as a chew for medium to large dogs.
When choosing, consider your dog's size and chewing habits. Small dogs may prefer smaller pieces like sushi or sandwiches, while larger dogs can handle dumbbells and sticks. Always supervise your dog when giving chews to prevent choking.
Storage in Malaysian Humidity
Malaysia's hot and humid climate can affect the shelf life of dog treats. Dental chews and meat-based treats should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
For longer storage, you can keep unopened packs in the refrigerator, especially for meat-based treats. However, allow them to come to room temperature before serving if your dog prefers softer treats. Always check the packaging for specific storage instructions.
Avoid storing treats near the stove or in areas prone to condensation. Humidity can cause chews to become moldy or lose their texture. Proper storage ensures your dog enjoys safe and fresh treats every time.
Comparing Formats and Pack Sizes
Absolute Holistic offers three pack sizes: 100g, 160g, and 50 pieces. The 100g packs are used for meat-based treats, the 160g packs for dental chews, and the 50-piece packs for dental chews in various flavours.
When comparing value, consider the number of treats per pack and your dog's consumption rate. A 50-piece dental chew pack may last longer than a 160g pack, depending on the size of each chew. For meat treats, 100g is a standard trial size; if your dog loves them, you might need multiple packs.
There is no wet or dry food format in this range; all products are treats. The table below summarises the key formats.
