This chew is made from a single natural beef femur bone that is cleaned and slow roasted without the use of bleach or other harsh chemicals. No flavors, colors or preservatives are added, so the bone relies on its own natural taste and texture to appeal to dogs. Each bone is individually shrink-wrapped and carries its own UPC code for easy handling and inventory. The hard, dense structure gives dogs an outlet for natural chewing behavior while the gnawing action helps scrape plaque and tartar from teeth and massage the gums. It works well as an everyday snack, a reward, or an occupier during travel or downtime, and can also give teething puppies something appropriate to gnaw on. Because it is a natural bone, close supervision during chewing is advised.
