RICHMOND, Va., August 06, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Barkworthies?, a leading natural dog chew brand in the Central Garden & Pet portfolio (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA), is now offering their hickory smoked chews in single-count bulk trial pack format, allowing pet parents the flexibility to select the exact variety that fits their dog and budget. The line features the brand’s same high-value chews smoked in small batches over real hickory wood, delivering the ultimate flavor indulgence.

Launched in May 2023, these natural treats are crafted in small batches and smoked to perfection at Barkworthies’ state-of-the art, patent-pending smoking operations in Richmond, Virginia. Hickory Smoked chews present a dual benefit: an appealing aroma for pet parents and an irresistible smell for dogs. Made with single or limited ingredients, the chews are prepared with no artificial flavors, no additives, and no shortcuts—just a time-tested, authentic smoking process.

The new single-count options not only let pet parents curate the ideal mix of premium chews for their dogs but provide a budget-friendly way to try multiple varieties. Plus, as pet parents shop the new bulk merchandising displays - a two sided floor stand and a point of purchase display - they can experience the hickory smoked aroma for themselves.

There are 10 products available as single serve treats with varieties for dogs of all sizes, including Duck Feet, Bully Sticks and Yak Cheese. The assortment offers smoked treats for as low as under $2 retail price.

The new single-count bulk options for the Hickory Smoked line are now available to order.
