What is in the chew

The manufacturer lists it as a natural alternative to rawhide products and gives no further ingredients. It is a high-protein treat by the manufacturer's description.

Does this chew suit your dog?

Puppies are a further limit: the manufacturer notes that the chew may not be suitable for puppies.

Supervision is part of the stated use. Watch your dog while it eats, because a dog that eats too quickly runs the risk of choking. The reviews echo this, with two reviewers mentioning a choking hazard.
