The individual pellets are round and marble-sized. The food can be mixed in with homemade plant-based food to provide a delicious balanced crunch for larger dogs, or they can be added to Kongs or activity mats to encourage foraging – ideal mental stimulation for your pet.
They make perfect training treats as they are non-greasy and can be kept safely in your pocket on walks with no concern of catching meat-based infections!
Please note that the large bags of Solo Vegetal state that the biscuits are for dog weight 8kgs+ They are nutritionally fine and balanced for smaller dogs too if they can handle the size of the biscuit. They can be mixed with water or warmed oat milk and softened if
the size of the biscuit is an issue with small dogs, but very small dogs may struggle with the large size so maybe worth trying Green Crunch or Greta Mini for small dogs, or even Omni Sensitive.
