This chew is made from bovine collagen, the protein found in the inner layer of beef hide, and braided into a tough, long-lasting shape for dogs to gnaw on. The chew is naturally rich in chondroitin and glucosamine, nutrients associated with joint support, and contributes to a shiny coat and healthy skin. It is single ingredient, grain free, gluten free, and free of wheat, corn, and soy, offering an easily digestible alternative to traditional rawhide. The mechanical action of chewing helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup on teeth while giving dogs a lasting activity to occupy idle time. Chews are shaped and flavored using natural methods, so color, texture, and size vary slightly from piece to piece. Owners should supervise chewing sessions and remove any small pieces that break off to reduce the risk of choking or gastric upset.
