If your dog suffers from allergies, you can ensure they are only being exposed to beef protein with these chews as they only contain one single source of protein. Oral and dental health Zinc plays an important role in the function of enzymes, hormones and proteins. Zinc is vital for a healthy immune system and a zinc deficiency may result in your dog’s immune response being compromised.

Your dog has underlying health issues and/or is immunosuppressed (for example receiving chemotherapy) Beef is a brilliant option for our dogs. It is extremely nutritious and easy to digest. Beef contains important minerals such as zinc, phosphorus, selenium and iron. Beef is also known to contain B vitamins such as B12, B6 and B3. Single Protein source Beef tails, as the name suggests, come from the tail of beef cattle. Beef tail is used widely in various different recipes, usually slow-cooked in soups or stews and is often described as a ‘forgotten cut’. The main producers of beef products in Europe are France, Germany, Italy and Spain. There are other manufacturers from further afield including the USA and Australia. I posted a question on Chewy.com to learn about how the cow tails are processed. This was the response.We feed our dog raw beef tail that we get from a local farmer. It’s prepared by a butcher and suitable for human consumption, but we don’t always get around to using it ourselves so it becomes a treat for Bingo! Beef Tails For Dogs Cow tail bones are a very special treat for dogs My boys are pretty aggressive chewers and I wouldn't feel comfortable adding cow tails to the menu for them. A Healthy Alternative to Cow Tails All these nutrients are important and very useful, however, there are no current studies to confirm that beef tail chews are a reliable source of these nutrients or indeed could be used as a supplement to ensure your dog is getting the recommended amount. Beef tail chews and indeed any raw meat product comes with a risk of contamination with dangerous bacteria. These include E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella. Most dogs won’t be severely affected by these pathogens, however all of these can cause significant disease in humans. In particular young infants, elderly people and anyone immunosuppressed.

Beef tail chews are considered a good choice for dogs. They are natural, high in protein, and have an interesting texture for your dog. They are good for mechanical debridement of plaque and tartar from your dog’s teeth. Chewing helps your dog exercise their jaw muscles and provides mental stimulation for them. Recreational chewing is normal healthy behaviour for our dogs and it is an important part of their scavenging process when they are hunting for food. It is instinctive for our dogs, therefore if we encourage it in a safe way that does not damage their mouths or our property – everyone is a winner. Some dogs may be more sensitive or even allergic to beef tail chews. All dogs will tolerate different amounts of the chew in different ways. If your dog doesn’t tolerate them well, or eats too many of them, this can cause symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea. Gastrointestinal ObstructionOne day, about 8 or 9 years ago, I got home to happy, excited dogs – ready for their walk. Rodrigo repeatedly did a play bow stretch. He was restless, couldn’t sit still, and kept bowing. I had no idea what was going on, so I went to Professor Google for a hint. Iron is important for transporting oxygen in the haemoglobin of red blood cells to all the muscles and vital organs in your dog’s body. Beef tail chews are made from drying sections of the tail of a cow. They are usually dried out using a slow baking method or dehydrated in batches at low temperatures over a long period of time.

Naturally, dogs are designed to eat and digest raw bones. But complications may come up when you give cooked oxtail bones to dogs. When you cook oxtail bones, their physical structure tends to change. And as such, they become very brittle with a high chance to splinter. They are a popular choice of chew for dogs as they usually are long-lasting, with a high protein, and low-fat ratio and are gluten and grain free. Many dogs do enjoy chewing on and consuming raw bones, and a Labrador-German Shepherd cross like Bingo is a large breed that would typically be able to handle raw oxtail bones. Gagging:There are a number of reasons why your dog could be gagging. But if your dog is gagging after eating an oxtail, you need to take him to a doctor immediately. Some dogs try to swallow the entire chew whole, this can also cause damage or obstruction. Ensure the size of the beef tail chew is appropriate for your dog, larger breeds may be suited to a more substantially sized chew to prevent them swallowing them whole. Avoid If…Food safety standards will vary greatly depending on the country of origin so bear this in mind when choosing your product. Animal welfare practices will vary too. Look for products which have been approved by associations such as RSPCA Freedom Food Standards, Red Tractor, the Soil Association and Scottish Organic Producers Association. When searching for a suitable product for your pet, it is best to try wherever possible, to source locally. Preparation

Digestive Irritation: Some dogs may have difficulty digesting bones, leading to constipation or other digestive issues. You can read more about the bones I feed to my dogs here: https://keepthetailwagging.com/can-dogs-eat-bones/ Fat Content: Oxtail can be fatty, and too much fat can lead to digestive upset or even pancreatitis in some dogs, though for the most part, it’s good for dogs.

PUPPY GAMES

Antlers. These are natural antlers that have been shed from deer or elk. They are extremely tough and don’t often splinter. They are a good alternative for very enthusiastic chewers that normal rawhide chews don’t last very long with. The downside is that they are so tough, some dogs are in danger of breaking a tooth if they chew too hard. Rodrigo is the dog that was sent to me to teach me patience, unconditional love and provide endless content for Keep the Tail Wagging.
