As your dog chews, the collagen breaks down into peptides and amino acids that help: Reduce inflammation Increase mobility and flexibility Improve bone strength Support skin health and moisture retention Make your dog’s coat shiny Promote dental health through saliva secretion and tartar removal   Feeding Guidelines & Storage If your dog is a gulper or swallower, give them an oversized chew, nothing smaller than what they can fit in their mouth. If your dog is unfamiliar with the product, always watch them initially and supervise their chewing.  The best storage solution for these chews is to be stored in a bag in the freezer (extends shelf life 2 years). The second best is to be bagged in the refrigerator (extends shelf life 1 year). Third is in a non-humid area away from sunlight. Keeping these chews bagged will help prevent oxidation. This is a food product. If it is treated like food, it can last a long time. These are safe to store in the cupboard or pantry but should be fed within 4 months of purchase.
