How long do Chickpea Training Nibs last?

Each nib is freeze-dried to be long-lasting, typically lasting 30-60 seconds in the mouth. This extended reward time reinforces training better than soft treats that disappear in seconds. Perfect for positive reinforcement training sessions.

Are Chickpea Training Nibs good for all dog breeds?

Yes. Chickpea Training Nibs work for all dog breeds from toy breeds to large dogs. The high-value nature of the treats makes them effective for training regardless of size. Portion size adjusts naturally based on your dog's appetite.

How many training treats per day is safe?

Training treats should make up no more than 10% of daily calories. For a 50lb dog, this is roughly 15-20 Chickpea Training Nibs per day. Always adjust their regular food to account for training treat calories to prevent overfeeding.

Can puppies have Chickpea Training Nibs?

Yes. Chickpea Training Nibs are appropriate for puppies 8 weeks and older. They're freeze-dried chickpeas with no artificial ingredients. Start with small quantities and monitor your puppy's digestion. Consult your vet if you have concerns.

Do Chickpea Training Nibs have fillers or artificial ingredients?

No. Chickpea Training Nibs are 100% freeze-dried upcycled chickpeas. No fillers, no artificial ingredients, no by-products. We use sustainable sourcing and chef-crafted quality standards from our Cordon Bleu founder.

Pawprint on the Planet 🐾🌎

Every 5 oz bag of Dog & Whistle Mint & Blueberry Chickpea Treats gives surplus ingredients a second life.

By using rescued blueberries and rescued chickpeas, we help reduce food waste while turning nutritious ingredients into flavorful treats dogs love.

These ingredients are gently dehydrated to preserve nutrients while making better use of the food system.

Per Bag Impact

🫐 Rescued blueberries given a second life
Blueberries are nutrient-rich fruits that are often discarded when they don’t meet cosmetic standards. Upcycling them helps keep valuable food and growing resources in the food system.

💧 Water Footprint Opportunity
Growing blueberries requires significant water and farmland resources. By rescuing surplus fruit, we help ensure those growing resources are not wasted.

🫘 Rescued chickpeas repurposed
Chickpeas are a plant-based protein and part of the legume family, which helps enrich soil by naturally fixing nitrogen.

🌍 Lower-Carbon Plant Protein
Chickpeas produce about 0.8 kg CO₂e per kg, making them a climate-friendly protein compared to many animal-based ingredients.

🌿 Fresh mint for natural flavor
Mint provides refreshing flavor while keeping the recipe simple and wholesome.

♻️ Whole ingredient utilization

Community Impact

If 100 bags are enjoyed by our community, together we help repurpose:

🫐 Over 100 lbs of rescued blueberries and chickpeas
♻️ Hundreds of pounds of food kept in the food system

Good for dogs. Better for the planet.
