Collagen College: What You Need to Know
Collagen is a protein that’s present in the bodies of most animals. It’s a constituent of everything from bones to tendons to some insect silks, and it represents about one-quarter to one-third of the protein in a typical mammal’s body.
Unlike rawhide, which isn’t easy for your dog’s body to digest, collagen is rapidly turned into peptides and amino acids in the stomach.
These components are eventually absorbed into the bloodstream, where they can travel throughout the body and be used where needed. This means that unlike rawhides, collagen-based chews shouldn’t be as likely to cause obstructions.
However, choking is still a possibility, as a big hunk of collagen could get stuck in your dog’s throat. So, it is still wise to supervise your dog when she’s enjoying a collagen-based chew.
Collagen may provide important health benefits too. Many people take collagen supplements for joint issues, and there is some evidence that collagen supplementation can help reduce the effects of canine osteoarthritis.
All of Frankly’s chews are made from collagen, but they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and you can even choose between two different flavors.
Their product lineup consists of the following:
The nutritional values for each product vary slightly, but they’reall made from 100% beef collagen and contain 85% to 90% protein and 6% to 7%fat.
Frankly Chews are made in Frankly’s own US-based factory, and they use only USDA, American-born cattle to source their collagen. Frankly also conducts sanitation checks every single day, and they’re certified by BRC Global and the Global Food Safety Initiative.
A few days after speaking with Frankly’s representative Elizabeth, the package of chews arrived.
They sent over quite a nice selection of chews, a bit of information about the treats, and a note to my pooch!
They even included the periods in her abbreviated name, which demonstrates an attention to detail I really appreciated.
In total, the package contained the following:
Everything was nicely packaged and arrived in a box decoratedwith Frankly’s logo.
My dog was immediately interested in the box and its contents, but that’s not really unusual – she always wants to check out any type of delivery or box I bring home.
However, she’d clearly determined that this cool new stuff smelled tasty and was anxious to get them in her mouth.
So, I unwrapped the Chicken-Flavored XL Roll and offered it to her. She wasted no time snatching it from my hand and making off with the goods.
She settled in and went to work. She probably spent about 15 minutes enjoying it before she moved on to other things, but that’s typical for her.
J.B. clearly enjoyed the first chew I gave her.
She has a pretty consistent approach to most chews: She gnawsfor a while, and then “buries” it somewhere in the house. Later, she’ll go backand retrieve it for some more chompin’ fun.
And that’s exactly what she did with this roll.
She’d chew for a while, hide it, chew some more, hide it again, and so on. Slowly but surely, the roll shrunk in size and she consumed small bits of it.
It lasted for about two weeks before disappearing completely, but I’m sure that power-chewing canines could probably polish one off in a day or so – potentially in a single sitting.
I was anxious to try out some of the other goodies we received, so I opened one of the Natural-Flavored Ears. J.B. immediately snatched it, took it to her favorite chewing spot and got busy. I went back to work, pleased that she seemed to enjoy it so much.
Five minutes later, she emerged from the bedroom, having completely devoured it.
I was a bit surprised she’d managed to finish it so quickly, so I checked her hiding spots, but there was no chew to be found. She really had eaten it completely.
Over the next few weeks, I ended up giving her all of the other treats.
Generally speaking, she consumed the ears in the same way she’d devour typical pig ears. But the rolls all lasted several days at a time.
They unwrapped a bit as my dog munched on them, which seemed to make them easier for her to consume.
