Nature Gnaws Beef Tendons for Dogs (8oz) - Mixed Thickness - Long Lasting for Medium and Large Dogs - Natural Beef Jerky Dog Chew Bones - Rawhide Free

Our dogs REALLY LOVE these. Our dogs get very excited for this treat and since it's good quality ingredients, it feels good to give it to them. Never had a digestive issue with this treat. Unfortunately too expensive for multiple dogs. Great product for one dog household.

My dog loves these. I love that there's only one ingredient on the list. There aren't any "extras" prone to making my dog sick. It works great as a high value treat; we use it as a reward for longer puzzle and scent games. It's convenient and easy to give, and highly enjoyed. Speaking to the other reviewers' comments: * I purchased the 8oz bag, not the 1lb bag, and can only speak to the size in the smaller bag, which I would describe as 'adequate'. These are tendons, which means they're going to come in slightly different shapes/sizes as different tendons in any animal differ. They aren't overly processed, so they aren't going to come in the cute cookie cutter identically sized shapes you might be used to from other suppliers. You can see that from the bag, though. * Choking: my dog is fine. He's a 50-55lb GSD mix. Larger pieces actually encourage your dog to chew more, and the pieces that I've found (8oz bag, granted, which are supposedly a bit bigger) have been appropriately sized. Now, some dogs are simply gulpers by nature. You should supervise anything you give to your dog, especially if you think he'll gulp it on down. I'd use extra caution for bigger dogs, or inexperienced puppies. You can also teach/train a gulper to chew their food. The bigger the piece, the safer it actually is. * The smell: my dog loves it! It isn't appetizing to me as a human, but it shouldn't be. It's a tendon, right? I don't want to eat that. My dog does. I'm sure it'd smell much more appetizing if it were less appetizing and also more harmful to my dog, ie, if it had a longer ingredient list and was less healthy for him. This treat's for him and him alone, so I definitely prefer it be the way he prefers it. All that being said, I don't find it particularly gross or overpowering. The worst part of this bag is the price. I haven't dared buy the 1lb bag given the comments here, but would appreciate an option to buy them cheaper in bulk (with the same size) and therefore feed more frequently. As such, it's something I buy and feed on occasion as a higher value treat. I'll keep buying more as is.

This may sound a little strange but my package doesn't say anywhere what kind of tendons these are. The picture says it's beef. It may be beef but nothing says. Why does it matter? Maybe it doesn't matter but I like to know what I am feeding my Fur Babies. The tendons are thick and a good size for Shih Tzu's. My puppies like them a lot and I like the fact that it takes them awhile to eat them. I think they are reasonably priced for the quantity and size. A Caution: These splinter where others have not. They can be sharp. They are so thick that it is difficult for smaller (i.e. 10 lbs) dog to carry, not to mention eating them.

My dog will do most anything to get as treats!

These are rock hard and definitely not for smaller or medium sized dogs as they can break their teeth.

Dogs love them. But do not leave them unattended while they have these. They split into shards and these treats are very hard therefore the shards can very well do some damage. I doubt I will get these again although the flavor must be great because my dog has been chewing it for 30 mins straight. Just be careful.

I have a 1 year old cocker spaniel puppy who is a BIG chewer. We’ve tried so many “long-lasting” chew sticks and he usually chews through them in minutes! Nature Gnaws are the only ones I’ve found that takes him hours, sometimes days to get through! They have been a lifesaver in helping us get through the puppy stage. I’ve gotten all varieties of Nature Gnaws—the beef tendons, bully sticks, variety pack, etc. and they are all so well worth the money. I always make sure to have them on hand when company is coming over because it keeps my puppy so calm and occupied. The only slight drawback is that they are kind of stinky when chewed, but I think that is the same with all dog chews. They don’t crumble or make a mess like other chews. We will be purchasing these for many years to come!

Great buy
