Best Dog Chews

Nature Gnaws Bully Sticks are not cheap. But, when you're purchasing these treats made from oven-baked, free-range, grass-fed beef, you know you're purchasing quality goods. With 100% natural beef puzzles being the only ingredient, these chews are high in protein and grain-free. Now, the people behind the product are claiming that they're also odorless but most customers are saying the opposite, with some going as far as suggesting that the chews smell horrible.

This is subjective but there's nothing subjective about the formula not including chemically produced rawhide bones and chips, additives, and artificial ingredients. Also, with the sticks weighing around 2.2 ounces and containing 180-200 kCal, they double as excellent snacks, keeping the doggo's appetite at bay during long walks. Low in fat (around 2%), they will also prevent your four-legged friend from gaining extra weight.

Last but not least, the 20-count bag is resealable, making sure that the sticks do not go bad during storage.

All things considered, these bully sticks for large dogs will do an excellent job reducing plaque, tartar, and facilitating teeth' and gums' health. They will also minimize bad breath, proving not only tasty but also beneficial for your doggo.

Few are aware that deer antlers make great dog chews, which's surprising considering that Heartland Antlers have been selling them as dog treats for a minute now and the company is not unknown, we can say that much.

Of course, we're not suggesting that all antlers make great chews but the premium-grade ones from the above-mentioned company usually do. Most dogs find them tasty and, unlike nylon rawhides and bones, these antlers are 100% odorless and mess-free.

When we're talking about the formula here, we're talking about nothing but certain hoofed fellow's antlers, meaning no additives, no preservation, and no processing. The antlers have also been extracted according to cruelty-free practices.

The biggest sin that the subject antlers commit is that they will have sharp corners/points sometimes, so we would recommend inspecting the product before treating the little furry rascal.

Also, considering the antler's size, this is not something that small puppies will find all that chewable. No, these are medium- and large-sized dogs' chews. They last longer than most chews and, getting inside the smallest spaces between the teeth, they will also help you keep your best friend's teeth healthy.

Virbac Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs are small chews, accommodating small dogs and large dogs' puppies. Inside the bag, you will find 30 chews, not the worst deal considering the modest price, even though the chews' size and thickness will vary between pieces.

The primary ingredient here is 100% natural all-beef rawhide but the formula also introduces chlorhexidine gluconate, enzymatics, salt, potassium, rosemary extracts, lecithin, maltodextrin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, mixed tocopherols, and more. With the first ingredient and the chews' abrasive texture, this product reduces plaque and minimizes tartar.

Aside from that, these rawhide chews will also eliminate odor-causing bacteria, cleaning teeth and freshening the dog's breath. Poultry-flavored, these dental chews are not only providing health benefits but also taste great, with this nice firm texture that most dogs will appreciate, even the picky ones.

Finally, despite the rich formula, these chews for puppies do not have any sugar in them and are low in fat, so you can have the pup chewing on them daily without worrying about your little buddy getting a little chonky. Add the resealable bag to the affordable price and the product's case becomes even more appealing.

Purina Busy Real Beefhide Dog Chews will keep the dog busy, that much is certain. With the formula adding brown rice and wholesome oats, they're not just chews, these are tasty snacks. That said, chews without meat is not something that we condone here, so the product would not have made an appearance on this list without the formula also incorporating beefhide.

Besides these ingredients, these chews for small dogs contain maltodextrins, gelatin, lecithin, xanthan gum, wheat flour, sorbic acid, animal digest, citrus pulp, potassium, phosphoric acid, and more. With lecithin lowering cholesterol levels, improving heart health, digestion, and soothing and moisturizing dogs' skin, this is one layered product, even without mentioning potassium kidneys- and bones-related benefits, and everything else that the ingredients above are bringing to the table.

While these safe chews are not perfect, usually leaving a noticeable mess behind, especially when the dog gnawing and nibbling them is not a very neat one, we cannot complain too much since, counting the reasonable price, the taste, and the countless health benefits, the product will have your friend wagging its tail in delight and keeping it blissfully busy without a care in the world.

Himalayan Pet Supply Cheese Dog Chews have an approach that's different from most chews on the market today. Whereas most chews are using beef, these are made from Himalayan yak cheese. Despite being made from cheese, these chews are lactose-free, which's important since most canines are usually lactose intolerant. Besides excluding lactose, the formula ditches grains and gluten, so you do not have to worry about increasing heart diseases' chances and upsetting the dog's gastrointestinal tract.

Texture-wise, the chews are hard and crumbly, which means that things can get a little messy with the dog working the treat first, then chewing off the small pieces left. But that also means the chews will be cleaning teeth and removing plaque. Not unlike the chews that we have reviewed above, these cheese-based treats do not use binding agents, do not add preservatives, and do not incorporate additives, keeping the formula 100% natural.

Rounding up the hard chew's advantages is the resealable bag enabling long-term storage (even though the bag is packing only three treats, meaning that, once you open the bag, long-term storage will seldom prove a valid option).

Firm, chewy, and 100% natural, these treats from Himalayan Pet Supply will satisfy even the most aggressive chewers.
