(PRESS RELEASE) Project Hive Pet Company announces the newest addition to its Hive Dog Treat lineup: Pumpkin Hive Chew Sticks in Large and XL sizes! These USA-made, vegetarian dental treats feature a nutrient-rich pumpkin center and a ridged exterior designed to help clean teeth and freshen breath—creating a flavorful, functional chew dogs love.
Expanding The Hive Chew Stick Line
Since the debut of Hive Chew Sticks and Chew Treats in 2021, retailers have embraced Project Hive’s unique, vegetarian dog treats that are gentle on digestion, grain-free, and designed to promote better oral hygiene. The Hive Chew Stick’s compatibility with the Hive Chew Toy offers added enrichment value — providing long lasting engagement and helping relieve boredom.
Now, Project Hive is expanding the line with three new SKUs, featuring one of the fastest-growing flavor trends in the pet industry: pumpkin.
Why Pumpkin?
Pumpkin is a year-round favorite and a powerhouse ingredient known to support healthy digestion. These new treats feature a co-extruded pumpkin center and a lightly crunchy, ridged exterior that helps mechanically clean teeth while offering a mix of flavors and textures dogs can’t resist. With a touch of cinnamon for an appealing aroma, these treats smell as good as they taste—and pet parents appreciate that!

- Pumpkin Hive Chew Sticks – XL (18.3 oz) – MSRP $18.99

A Certified B Corp and member of 1% for the Planet, Project Hive donates 1% of all sales (not profits) to plant wildflowers and create healthy ecosystems for bees.
