beef tendon

Beef tendons are made up of collagen and help attach muscles to bones. They are pliable, but not elastic and great for feeding as the muscle meat in a raw diet or as a fun chew!

Why we feed?

Because beef tendon is made up of collagen, which helps make up connective tissues, it can help or prevent joint issues, which is common in older dogs, large breed dogs, and very active dogs. It is also helpful in maintaining healthy, elastic skin, and strong but flexible bones. They also are a great natural source of glucosamine, and are chewy, so they are longer lasting than your normal chews.

Why we feed

How to feed?

Tendon can be included in your dog’s 80% muscle meat category. You can also use them to make “pupsicles” by freezing some bone broth (or goat’s milk), and sticking the tendon in as the “stick.” It’s a great, healthy treat that helps with skin and joints!

Additional info?

Tendons are commonly used in bone broth to give that extra jelly consistency. In addition, they are often found in Pho for humans, yum!
