Quick answer
West Paw Air Dried Bison Lung Treats are safe for most dogs when fed as an occasional reward. Follow portion guidelines and supervise your dog to prevent choking.
Why air-dried treats require special handling
Air-dried treats like bison lung retain more moisture than freeze-dried options, which can make them slightly softer but also more prone to spoiling if stored improperly. Always reseal the bag tightly after opening and keep it in a cool, dry place.
Understanding the single-ingredient advantage
With just one ingredient—pasture-raised bison lung—these treats avoid common allergens like grains, fillers, or artificial additives. This makes them a good choice for dogs with food sensitivities, but always introduce any new treat gradually.
Frequently asked questions about West Paw bison lung treats
Are these treats safe for puppies?
Puppies over 3 months old can enjoy these treats in small pieces, but always supervise first to ensure they chew properly. The chewy texture is gentler than hard bones, making it a reasonable choice for growing teeth. Break into pea-sized pieces for small puppies.
How should I store the treats after opening?
Reseal the bag tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best freshness, use within 30 days of opening. Do not refrigerate, as moisture can cause mold. Use within 30 days; do not refrigerate.
Can these treats cause choking?
Like any treat, there is a choking risk if your dog gulps large pieces. Break the treat into smaller training bites—the texture is easy to snap—and always supervise. If your dog tends to inhale food, consider using a treat-dispensing toy. Supervise and break into small pieces for gulpers.
Are there any dogs that should avoid these treats?
Dogs with pancreatitis, severe kidney disease, or a history of gastrointestinal blockages should avoid any high-protein organ treats. Consult your veterinarian if your dog has a medical condition. Check with your vet for dogs with specific health issues.
How many treats can I give per day?
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake. For a 50 lb dog, one whole 2.5 oz bag equals about a full day's treat allowance. Stick to a few small pieces per day as a reward. Limit to a few small pieces daily.
