To me, the little bites are quite small. However, I have giant dogs, weighing 150 pounds and 200 pounds. I always soak their dry 1st in water or broth. That way it can't cause any problems if they eat fast. Most all canines eat fast.

Hi Jaz8, The molasses and glycerin both act as humectants that work to keep the shred piece tender, moist and shelf stable.The molasses also acts a binder to hold the shred pieces together and is a source of carbohydrates. The glycerin is 100% plant based (palm oil / palm kernel). Thanks

Hi ravzie, The shreds are a meat-free mix of high-protein ingredients like eggs. Thanks,
