Benefits

  • Long-lasting and digestible
  • Low odour compared to meat chews
  • High in protein and calcium
  • Final small piece can be microwaved into a puffed treat
  • Limited ingredients, good for sensitive dogs

Is This Right for Your Dog?

Answer three quick questions for a tailored verdict.

Handling and Feeding Tips

Microwave the final small piece into a puffed treat rather than letting your dog chew it down further - that's when it becomes swallow-sized.

What to Watch Out For

Like antlers, can be very hard and risk tooth fracture in aggressive chewers. Take away small pieces once they reach a size your dog could swallow. Not suitable for lactose-intolerant dogs.

Best For

Medium and large dogs who are moderate to heavy chewers. A good alternative to rawhide.
