FAQs
What is the JR 75cm Beef Slice Dog Chew made of?
It is made from 100% natural beef skin. That is the only ingredient.
Is this chew suitable for puppies?
Yes, it is suitable for puppies aged 12 weeks and over. Always supervise puppies during chewing.
Does this chew have any additives or preservatives?
No, the JR 75cm Beef Slice Dog Chew is made with absolutely no additives or preservatives. It is simply air-dried.
How long does this chew typically last?
The 75cm length and tough texture are designed for longer-lasting chewing, particularly for larger dogs and aggressive chewers. However, the actual duration can vary depending on the individual dog's chewing intensity.
Is this chew good for dental health?
Yes, the natural chewing action helps to clean teeth and gums, promoting good dental hygiene and reducing tartar buildup.
What are the main nutritional benefits?
It is high in protein, which aids muscle and tissue repair, and high in collagen, beneficial for healthy coats and skin. It is also low in fat.
What should I do if my dog tries to swallow it whole?
You should immediately remove the chew and supervise your dog closely. This product is intended to be chewed, not swallowed. If your dog consistently tries to swallow large pieces, it may not be the right chew for them, or they may need further training on appropriate chewing.
How should I store the chew?
Store the chew in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is kept clean and dry between uses.
Troubleshooting
Dog is not interested in the chew
Some dogs may take time to accept a new chew. Try introducing it during a quiet time or after exercise when they might be more receptive. Ensure there are no competing, more exciting items available.
Dog is trying to swallow large pieces whole
This indicates the chew may be too advanced or the dog is not chewing it appropriately. Immediately remove the chew and provide a smaller, more manageable natural chew or toy. Reintroduce this larger chew only when the dog demonstrates more appropriate chewing behavior, always under supervision.
The chew appears to be breaking down too quickly
This can happen with very aggressive chewers. While designed to be long-lasting, some dogs can break down natural chews faster than others. If this is a concern, consider alternative very hard chew toys designed for power chewers, though this natural chew still offers significant benefits.
