Nature Gnaws Beef Tendons for Dogs (1Lb) - 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!

Not made for small dogs (8lb & 10lb). I couldn’t break them in smaller pieces. My poms reallllly liked them but had runny p00p after.

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.

Had to throw the entire bag away. The beef tendons were extremely dry, brittle, and splintery, which is not how quality beef tendons should be. Instead of softening and fraying into fibers while being chewed, they broke into hard, sharp pieces. This appeared to be either a production issue or a storage problem. Unfortunately, I would not feel comfortable giving these to my dog and cannot recommend this product.

We have been buying these regularly for a while now. Our dog loves them and goes crazy for them. However, the last 3 bags we have gotten have been bad and getting worse. The first issue was a bag that looked normal but had one very thick large tendon that looked like several fused together. We thought the dog would love it. It was inedible for him he couldn’t even chew it and quickly gave up. We threw it away and ordered a new bag. That bag arrived with two normal tendons and the rest all looked like the inedible one, but thinner (sort of like a pigs ear size/shape). We thought it being thinner he might be able to eat that one. We very quickly realized it was just splintering off into very sharp bits and we took it away. Amazon replaced that bag when we let them know, but the replacement bag was the final straw. There are almost no regular tendons in the bag. I’d say maybe one? The rest are all tiny little, what almost look like scraps and end pieces they couldn’t use elsewhere. They are horrible. We fortunately have a very little guy, and even though he wasn’t interested in the scrap pieces, they weren’t harmful looking for him. If I had a large dog and they sent me what amount to basically a bag of choking hazards… I would be livid. Anyways these are a really good product when they are. And sometimes you get three bad bags in a row. But that’s it for us. We won’t be buying this brand again unfortunately.

I have a shiba and she loves to chew on these. They're good enough to last her 15-30 minutes depending on the size. They have a slight smell and oil to them but it's not messy or anything to really worry about. For the price, there's a good amount of them in the bag. I understand this can't really be controlled as it's natural, but I've ordered these twice so far and the first bag was pretty uniform in size, and the 2nd bag had 2 huge pieces that were like shaped like a knot. I had to take those away from her after she was halfway done since they were the size of about 2-3 normal ones, but I will still be ordering more

I have 3 dogs. A 13 year old female large mutt, 3 year old male golden retriever, and a 16 week old female golden retriever puppy. I’ve been testing all kinds of different natural treats. One important thing to note is that my 3 year old golden does not care for food. He won’t even take sandwich meat or cheese (what!?). It’s been so hard to find something that he likes. These occupy my puppies time which is what I’m going for. They’re a good size and it takes a little to get through them. It didn’t cause upset stomach or diarrhea at all for all 3 of them. It came with a lot so it’s also worth the cost. My main goal is to get natural treats that are long lasting that is also healthy. This fits my needs!
