Our Toughest Treats – Built for Dogs Who Love to Chew

Why Some Dogs Need Extra-Tough Treats

Not all dogs chew the same way. Some nibble politely (looking at you here Bilbo), others crunch with enthusiasm, and then there are the “power chewers” (take a bow Marvin) — dogs who can destroy a biscuit in one bite. For these pups, standard treats don’t cut it. Tougher chews:

• Keep them entertained for longer

• Give jaws and teeth a proper workout

• Reduce boredom chewing on shoes, furniture, or… walls

What Makes a Treat “Tough”?

The secret is in the texture and density. Our toughest treats are:

• Hard and dense — not easy to snap or crunch in one go

• Chew-resistant — designed to last longer than a quick snack

• Naturally abrasive — helping scrape teeth as dogs gnaw

Unlike processed dental sticks, Bonza chews are single-ingredient and 100% natural, so you know exactly what your dog is getting.

Chewing and Dental Health

Here’s the fun fact: tough chews don’t just keep your dog busy — they’re also nature’s toothbrush. As dogs gnaw and grind, the abrasive action helps reduce plaque and tartar. It’s a natural way to support oral health without synthetic additives.

Our Top Tough Treat Picks

Looking for something that can stand up to serious chewing? Here are Bonza’s best bets:

1. Deer Antlers – Zero fat, long-lasting, and full of minerals. Great for dogs who love to chew for hours.

2. Goat Horns – Hollow but seriously tough. Dogs love working on them, and they last and last.

3. Shark Skin Strips – Chewy, with a rough texture that supports dental health.

4. Cow Hooves – A classic long-lasting chew. Can also be stuffed with other goodies for extra enrichment.

What are the longest-lasting dog treats?
Deer antlers, goat horns, hooves, and other hard chews are among the toughest options, often lasting days for moderate chewers.

Safety and Supervision

Even the toughest chews need supervision. Always:

• Pick a chew size that matches your dog (too small = choking risk).

• Supervise chewing sessions to prevent over-enthusiastic gulping.

• Remove small leftover pieces.
