Beef Tendon - Small 5 to 7 inches and thinner

Beef tendons are widely considered some of the absolute best natural chews available for dogs. They strike a perfect middle ground on the hardness scale, making them highly versatile for many different types of chewers.

Key Benefits of Beef Tendons

• Naturally Softens As They Chew: When a beef tendon is dry, it is tough and firm. However, as your dog works on it, their saliva softens the fibers, causing the tendon to unravel slightly into a floss-like texture. This fiber separation gently scrubs between teeth and along the gumline to sweep away plaque.

• Powerhouse for Joint Support: Beef tendons are naturally packed with collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and elastin. These key structural components actively support joint health, maintain cartilage elasticity, and promote a healthy skin and coat.

• High-Protein & Ultra-Lean: Most beef tendons are incredibly lean, often reaching up to 90% crude protein with a very low fat content. This makes them a safe option for dogs prone to weight gain or those requiring a low-fat diet.

• 100% Digestible and Safe: Unlike rawhide, beef tendons break down entirely in a dog's digestive system. They are also flexible enough that they do not fracture or splinter into sharp pieces, making them gentle on sensitive stomachs.

• Stain-Free and Low-Odor: Unlike many other animal parts, high-quality dried tendons tend to be non-greasy and low-odor, meaning your pup can enjoy them on their bed or hardwood floors without leaving behind messy residue.
