These chews are usually 100 percent beef or lamb ligaments, meaning they only contain one kind of protein. Ligament is quite difficult to digest, so their nutritional value is low, but they are often low in fat and may be lower in calories than other chews. Please note that natural treats can be odorous. Whilst we can guarantee that your dog will love the smell, you may not. Strong odour does not indicate any issue with quality or freshness.Protein essential for all the building and repairing in your dog's body eg health and shiny coat, skin health, lean muscle growth and a stronger immune system. a b c Wang, Xiaoming and Tedford, Richard H. Dogs: Their Fossil Relatives and Evolutionary History. New York: Columbia University Press, 2008. pp.97-8 Structurally, the nuchal ligament is formed with the association of both elastin proteins as well as type III collagen (45%). The collagen fibrils share a consistent size as well as helical pattern which gives the ligament its tensile strength. The elastin on the other hand is a protein that allows for flexibility. These two elements of the nuchal ligament maintain a complex balance which allows the constant weight bearing of the head along with multidirectional movement without damaging the durability of the ligament through over-use/stretching.

It keeps them occupied and content because chewing releases endorphins - which naturally calm and soothe. While a dog’s teeth are able to process hard chews, they’re not suited to puppies’ digestive systems. The meat segments, however, can provide chewing fun while helping dogs lose weight. Unlike raw meat, these bits are high in fiber and low in calories.Always feed under supervision. Intended for use as a pet treat only not a complete meal. Ensure clean, fresh water is available. However, dental chews are not effective against moderate or severe tartar, so you should see your veterinarian if your dog has any existing issues. Long Chew Time

Crunchy Vegetables – If your dog loves to chew but is also prone to putting on weight, then a bit of veg may be the perfect option for them! Go for carrots or celery if they like a bit of a crunch, or else cooked broccoli or cauliflower can give them a good chew – particularly if you include the stalks! They are also high-fiber and low-calorie, which can help your dog to lose weight. Drake, Richard L.; Vogl, Wayne; Tibbitts, Adam W.M. Mitchell; illustrations by Richard; Richardson, Paul (2005).

In most other mammals, including the great apes, the nuchal ligament is absent or present only as a thin fascia. [2] As it is required for running, not all animals have one. [7] If you need a few minutes to yourself, having a chew in the cupboard your dog will love is a perfect solution for both you and your dog.

PMID 1810923.

The nuchal ligament is unusual in being a ligament with an elastic component, allowing for stretch. [5] Most ligaments are mostly made of highly aligned collagen fibres which do not permit stretching. [ citation needed] It is a tendon-like structure that has developed independently in humans and other animals well adapted for running. [2] In some four-legged animals, particularly ungulates and canids, the nuchal ligament serves to sustain the weight of the head. If your dog is a heavy chewer, this treat is perfect. It is also great for dental health as it helps to get rid of tartar and bad breath.Robert Eden George Cole, A Glossary of Words Used in South-west Lincolnshire, English Dialect Society, 1886 OCLC 249538445.
