Verified Aug 24, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

This is a single-ingredient, smoked ostrich tendon chew designed as a high-protein, relatively low-fat treat for dogs of all sizes. The assorted tendon shapes provide chewing enjoyment while supplying collagen from a novel protein source that can suit many dogs with sensitivities to more common meats.

Top Pick

A simple, single-ingredient ostrich tendon chew that works well as a high-protein, relatively low-fat treat or occasional chew for most dogs. The use of ostrich as a novel protein can be helpful for dogs that don’t tolerate more typical proteins like chicken or beef. As with any chew, it should be offered under supervision and fed in moderation, not as a complete diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single-ingredient formula with only ostrich tendon, which is helpful for dogs with food sensitivities.
  • Ostrich is a novel, high-protein, relatively low-fat meat compared with common proteins like beef and chicken.
  • Tendons are a natural source of collagen, which can support the tissues around joints and ligaments.
  • Varied tendon sizes provide different chewing options, which can help satisfy a dog’s natural chewing urge.

Considerations

  • This is a treat, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only make up a small portion of daily calories.
  • Chews like tendons can pose a choking or obstruction risk if dogs swallow large pieces, so supervision is important.
  • Ostrich is still an animal protein, so dogs with broad meat allergies may not tolerate it.
  • Smoked treats can be rich and may not suit dogs with very sensitive stomachs if offered in large amounts.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef Tendon
Beef tendon is a connective-tissue ingredient commonly used in pet foods and chew treats as a natural source of collagen and protein, valued for its long-lasting, chewy texture that provides dental enrichment. Its collagen-rich amino acids can support joint and skin/connective-tissue health, but tendon is not a complete muscle protein, may be less digestible than meat, and can pose choking or dental-fracture risks or trigger beef allergies—offer under supervision and avoid if your pet has a beef sensitivity or dental issues.
