Rewardables Natural Collagen and Beef Sticks: The "Guilt-Free" Reward for Your Pup
PetsCareLab's conclusion: A high-protein, two-ingredient treat that bridges the gap between a snack and a dental aid. These are ideal for dogs over six months old of any breed, especially those needing extra support for joints and coat health.
If you're like most pet parents, you’ve probably stared at the back of a treat bag only to find a list of ingredients that looks like a high school chemistry project. We’ve all been there—trying to find a reward that makes our dogs happy without ruining their canine diet or upsetting their sensitive stomachs. That’s exactly why we decided to put the Rewardables Natural Collagen and Beef Sticks to the test.
Whether you’re looking for a "lazy" way to help scrub your dog's teeth or a high-value training reward, these sticks claim to do it all with a simple, limited-ingredient recipe. In a world of over-processed "junk" treats, a snack made primarily of real beef and collagen sounds almost too good to be true. Let’s see if they actually hold up to the hype.
Product Profile (At a Glance)
Raw Material and Facts
The ingredient list is refreshingly short: Beef and Collagen. Our research shows that collagen isn't just a trendy buzzword for humans; for dogs, it provides essential amino acids that support joint flexibility, skin elasticity, and a shiny coat.
These aren't those rock-hard, bleached rawhides. They have a slightly flexible, leathery texture. As for the smell? It’s a distinct, meaty beef scent. It’s enough to get a dog’s nose twitching from across the room, but it isn’t so pungent that it’ll funk up your entire pantry.
You won't find any Xylitol, grain fillers, or artificial preservatives here. They are designed to be easily digestible, making them a much safer alternative to traditional rawhide which can cause blockages in some pups.
The "User Experience" (Pet & Owner)
The sticks are uniform and easy to grab out of the bag. They aren't greasy, so you won't feel like you need to scrub your hands after every reward session. The packaging design makes it simple to store and access daily.
Our testers went nuts for the real beef coating. Even picky eaters who usually snub "healthy" dental chews seemed to view these as a high-value prize that they would work hard to earn.
On a scale of 1–10, this is a 10 for ease of application. There’s no prep work. You can give a full stick to a medium-sized dog for a few minutes of "quiet time," or easily snap them into smaller pieces for training.
We didn't notice any "tummy troubles" or loose stools, which is a huge win for dogs with sensitive systems. Because they aren't rock-hard, we didn't see any of the gum bleeding sometimes associated with more aggressive dental chews.
Effectiveness: Does It Actually Work?
While these aren't a replacement for a breath spray, the mechanical action of chewing does help "wipe" away some of the daily film on the teeth. You'll notice less doggy breath immediately after they finish a stick.
If you’re consistent, you’ll see the best results. The collagen supplement works from the inside out. Owners of older dogs often report a bit more mobility and pep thanks to the joint support, and the coat definitely takes on a healthier sheen.
While these won't remove years of hardened tartar, they are excellent at preventing plaque buildup. After two weeks of daily use, our team noticed the gum lines looked less inflamed and much cleaner than before.
Pros & Cons
Final Verdict
These are perfect for owners of small-to-medium dogs, senior pups who need joint support, or anyone looking for a "clean" treat that isn't loaded with corn and soy fillers.
At 100 sticks per bag, the price-per-treat is fantastic. It’s much more cost-effective than buying individual dental sticks at the grocery store or local pet boutique.
Would we buy it again? Yes. It's a rare "win-win" where the dog thinks they're getting a "cheat meal" while the owner knows they’re actually feeding high-quality protein and beneficial collagen.
Pro-Tips for Better Results
Note: If you have a small dog or a puppy, try snapping these into thirds. It makes the bag last even longer and prevents them from getting too many daily calories at once. For the best dental results, let your dog chew these while you’re relaxing in the evening—the saliva production helps wash away food particles from dinner!
