Expert Summary

Feed Wise considers this a workable everyday option for Healthy Paws Pet Food Beef Tripe & Salmon – Cold Smoked Treats, an air dried formula with a short, limited ingredient panel. No nutritional adequacy statement is on record, so it is best used as part of a balanced feeding plan or rotation rather than as the sole diet. Owners should note that portions shown here are calculated from the calorie panel rather than a published chart.
