Choking is defined as anything that breaks off large enough pieces that can cause an airway, esophageal or intestinal obstruction or blockage. As guardians, you can now evaluate all choking hazards by a simple: will this break up or break apart? Will the pieces create a blockage or not?
This is why we’re so passionate about protein! Human grade, whole cuts of breasts, loins, bellies and rounds have no, NONE, ZERO connective tissue and are gristle-free. There is nothing there to choke on! 100% whole meat tissue proteins means that even if an overzealous dog swallows it whole, the digestive system of every dog (somewhere between their mouth and the end of the intestine) will digest 100% of the treat.
But we don’t expect you to just take our word for it. Put us to the test! Break off a piece of any Beg & Barker treat and put it in your mouth and keep it there. Remember – it’s literally JUST meat! In less than 4 minutes, your saliva softens the strip and it becomes slippery. This then will pass through your digestive system just like your breakfast, lunch or dinner. No blockage. No chokes.
