Sam’s Yams™

Big Boyz size for big dogs, and Bichon Frites, for smaller dogs.

Made from 100% sweet potato, Sam’s Yams™ are totally digestible and an excellent nutritional chew. There is nothing artificial in them — no sweeteners, colors or processed food items. They will not stain carpets or leave foul odors.

Sam’s trick is in the patent-pending drying process, in which sweet potato is transformed into a chew that has characteristics similar to rawhide or jerky. Basically, a vegetable rawhide-like chew.

The Big Boyz and Bichon Frites are healthy.

  • Sweet potato is very high in anti-oxidants, fiber and other “fido-nutrients” your dog needs: vitamin A, B6, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin.
  • Sam’s Yams™ buys only American-grown sweet potatoes and works directly with its U.S. farmers to ensure they meet high standards for the handling of their crop.
  • The chews assist in keeping your dog’s teeth clean. The patent-pending process creates a hard, grooved surface that is great for dental health and has the chew-ability dogs enjoy. They are particularly well suited for senior dogs whose teeth and gums are more sensitive.

Big Boyz: Made of very thick slabs of sweet potato, this sweet potato dog chew is designed for larger breeds, but smaller dogs will enjoy them as well.

Each slice is perforated to assist in the dehydration of such a large piece. The surface is hard enough to provide dental benefits, yet the chews have a texture similar to rawhide without the negative factors. Each chew has the nutritional value of half of a large sweet potato. One pound bag: $16.

Bichon Frites: Made of sweet potato, these dog chews are cut like French fries and then dried in Sam’s Yams™ unique process to lock in the nutrients. Perfect for smaller breeds as a chew, or a treat for larger dogs. They also can be used as a training treat. Ridges help clean your dog’s teeth and gums. 5 oz. bag: $8
