    While chewing action helps remove plaque and tartar build up, consult with your veterinarian for professional advice on dental health and routine care.

    Seek immediate medical attention from your veterinarian if your dog swallows an oxygen absorber or its contents.

  • For longer lasting treats, how long can the treats be left out once given?

    Oinkies treats are intended to be consumed in a single sitting. For your dog’s safety, unconsumed treats should be discarded within the same day. Always monitor your dog while they eat food or treats.

    To ensure maximum freshness of the treats, Oinkies treats are best if consumed within one month of opening the package.

    Ensure packaging is sealed properly and immediately after every use to maintain freshness.
