What is beef head skin?
Beef head skin is the dried skin from a cow's head. It's gently dried and processed without any additives. Its firm, chewy texture means your dog has to chew for a long time, which keeps them occupied and mechanically cleans their teeth at the same time.
Why is beef head skin so popular?
Beef head skin is naturally low in fat yet high in protein, which means it fits well into a considered feeding plan. It's single-protein beef, so free from grain, sugar and artificial additives. For dogs that love to chew for a long time, it's one of the longest-lasting chewing options.
Which dogs is it suitable for?
Beef head skin suits medium-sized and large dogs with healthy teeth who like to chew hard. For very small dogs or puppies with milk teeth, choose a softer option instead, such as beef ears or rabbit ears. Always give the chew under supervision and make sure fresh water is available.
