NOVA DOG CHEWS BEEF TENDON
Approx 30cm
Beef tendons are nutritious, low-fat chews for dogs which help improve dental health, as well as mental health, by providing plenty of chewing time. They also contain glucosamine and chondroitin which helps to improve joint health.
Beef tendons are tough to chew through, and will keep your dog entertained for hours. Constant chewing stimulates the release of endorphins; natural compounds which help your dog feel happy and relaxed. Coupled with the hour or two of distraction that a beef tendon will provide your dog, they are ideal to improve your dog’s mental health, especially if they are a worrier, suffer from separation anxiety, or need some distraction through a thunderstorm or fireworks display.
Dental Health
Also, chewing through tendons helps improve your dog’s dental health. The chewing action provides abrasion against the teeth, resulting in less plaque build-up and cleaner teeth.
Joint Health
Beef tendons are full of connective tissue. This is high in protein and low in fat, and also naturally contains glucosamine and chondroitin. These compounds have been scientifically proven to improve joint cartilage health of osteoarthritic dogs. Glucosamine and chondroitin are precursors for cartilage, and stimulate the production of glucosaminoglycans (GAGs) which make up cartilage. They also improve joint fluid through stimulating the production of hyaluronic acid.
