The benefits of beef snouts
- A 100% natural busy treat: the beef snouts are 100% natural, they are dried slowly in the open air so as not to damage their resistance. They are gluten-free, GMO-free, additive-free, coloring-free and preservative-free.
- Rich in protein and low in fat: source of natural protein, beef snouts will be a major asset for strengthening your little one's muscles. In addition, the fat content being low, if your dog is overweight or prone to illnesses such as pancreatitis, he will be able to enjoy delicious food without making you feel guilty.
- Improves joint health: collagen present in cartilage is a natural source of chondroitin. Chondroitin is a component of the joints, its presence in beef snouts will help maintain the joints of dogs who are prone to osteoarthritis, or sporting dogs who tend to put a lot of strain on them.
- Promotes oral hygiene: the rubbery and very thick side of beef snouts is excellent for the dental health of your little ones. The chewing action helps reduce tartar and keep your little one's teeth clean; the longer the chewing time, the better their teeth will be looked after.
- A moment of relaxation lasting several hours: the thick and soft side of beef snouts makes them more complicated to chew. Therefore, they are perfect for extreme chewers, your little one will be able to enjoy his muzzle for several hours.
Ox noses for what types of dogs?
- For large and medium dogs: beef noses do not present a risk for small dogs, it is simply that they will be too big and too hard for your little one to benefit from them. Furthermore, for medium to large sizes, they will be happy to taste this treat. You can give him one every two weeks if your little one is of average size and one per week if he is a large size.
- For Adult and Senior Dogs: Ox muzzles are perfect for adult and senior dogs. We do not recommend giving it to your little one if he is still a puppy, he risks being too small and his jaw too weak for him to really enjoy it. Before that, you can opt for pork or beef ears , more suitable for your puppy and just as delicious.
- For extreme chewers: some dogs have very powerful jaws, so it is difficult to find a treat that will last more than a few minutes. The hard, chewable side of the beef snouts will be perfect for keeping your little one entertained for a long time.
Precautions to take:
We advise you to always keep an eye on your dog while chewing. Some dogs can get carried away in their chewing and break off bits of their muzzle. This is why monitoring makes it possible to remove pieces if they were present.
It is also advisable to remove the muzzle piece when it becomes too small, to the point where it fits entirely into your doggie's mouth.
FAQs
Are beef snouts unpleasant at home?
Beef snouts can have a strong odor when chewed. Be aware, however, that it is this smell that is so attractive to your little one. We advise you to allocate a specific place for him during this chewing, such as his sleeping place or if you have an exterior, so as not to dirty your interior such as your sofa or your carpets.
Can ox noses cause diarrhea in dogs?
The majority of the time, beef noses do not cause diarrhea in dogs because they are not high in fat. However, if your little one is prone to an intolerance to beef, it is possible that it will trigger diarrhea. In this case, you can opt for pig snouts.
