This chew is made from a single ingredient, collagen sourced from beef hide, with no added grain, gluten, wheat, corn, or soy. Collagen is naturally rich in chondroitin and glucosamine and carries a higher protein content than traditional rawhide, which many dogs digest more easily. Each stick is intended to give dogs a long-lasting, satisfying chewing outlet that can help occupy active jaws and ease boredom. The repetitive chewing action also works mechanically to help scrape away plaque along the teeth. Multiple sticks are included per bag so owners can offer chews over repeated sessions. As with any chew, dogs should be supervised while chewing, given fresh water, and any small or splintered pieces should be removed before they can be swallowed.
