Dog Owners Are Choosing This Chew Instead Of Dental Sticks

Walk down the pet aisle and you'll see shelves full of brightly coloured dental sticks.


Most promise cleaner teeth and fresher breath. But more and more dog owners are starting to ask a simple question:


"Is there a better way?"

The Problem With Many Dental Sticks

Take a look at the ingredient list on many popular dental sticks.

 

You'll often find starches, glycerine, preservatives, artificial meat flavourings and ingredients that are difficult to pronounce.

 

But the biggest problem with dental sticks is that dogs finish chewing them in less than a minute.

 

So while they're marketed as a dental chew, the chewing itself doesn't always last very long.

The Secret Isn't The Ingredients

It's The Chewing.


Dogs have a natural instinct to chew.


When they chew on something firm and tough, that chewing action creates friction against the teeth and is what helps reduce plaque.


That's why many dog owners are swapping highly processed dental sticks for longer-lasting natural chews.

The Natural Chew Dog Owners Are Talking About

Did you know that around 80% of dogs over the age of three show signs of dental disease?


Looking after your dog's teeth isn't just about fresher breath. Healthy teeth play an important role in their comfort, ability to chew and overall quality of life as they get older.


Most of us have met an older dog with very few teeth left, struggling to enjoy something as simple as eating dinner or chewing their favourite treat.


It's no surprise that more dog owners are searching for natural ways to support their dog's dental routine.


One chew that's becoming increasingly popular is Beef Tendons. They're made from just one ingredient: 100% Australian Beef Tendon.


No artificial ingredients. No preservatives. Nothing added. Just a naturally tough chew that's gently air dried to preserve the flavour and texture that dogs love.

Why Dogs Love Them

Most dogs don't need convincing to chew beef tendons.


The smell is of real Aussie beef and the taste is just unreal.


The tough texture keeps them interested for much longer than soft dental sticks


Instead of disappearing in seconds, Beef Tendons give dogs something satisfying to work on. And that's exactly what many owners are looking for.

Tooth scraping goodness

"These beef tendons are a fantastic chew. They help scrape my dog's teeth, keeping them clean while she has a fun time crunching."

Great baby sitters

"We give her these when she needs to stay home alone... no separation anxiety with these baby sitters! One will last her more than a week and she chews it every day! She often walks around the house with them in her mouth and had learned how to hold them with her paws. They are great because they don't have any strong smell too!"

Surprisingly Convenient

Unlike raw bones, Beef Tendons don't need to live in your freezer.


They're naturally shelf stable thanks to our air-drying process.


Keep a bag in the pantry and they're ready whenever your dog is.


They're also easy to pack for road trips, weekends away or when your dog is staying with family, friends or a pet sitter.
