About Beef Paddywack
Looking for a natural chew that lasts longer than dental sticks and does more than just keep your dog occupied? Our Australian Beef Paddywack is a tough, healthy chew that's built for big jaws and strong teeth.
Made from the nuchal ligament of Australian cattle (also called “paddywhack” or “paddywack”), this long-lasting tendon is rich in elastin and type III collagen – making it an ideal dental chew that also supports joint health.
Dental Health Benefits
Chewing paddywack helps scrape away plaque and tartar as your dog gnaws, which:
- Promotes healthy gums
- Freshens breath naturally
- Supports long-term dental wellbeing
Unlike dental sticks or rawhide, our beef paddywack contains no binders, fillers or artificial ingredients – just real meat, air dried for maximum flavour and chew power.
Safe & Natural Alternative to Rawhide
We don’t sell rawhide – and for good reason. It’s often treated with chemicals, glue, or bleach, and can be hard to digest. Paddywack is a safer, fully digestible alternative made from real beef, not manufactured waste.

Suits All Sizes
While it’s ideal for medium to large breeds and tough chewers, small dogs can also enjoy paddywack – just be sure to supervise, and choose the right piece for their size.
Nutritional & Functional Benefits
- High in natural elastin and collagen
- Free from preservatives, glycerin, or additives
- Great for mental enrichment and chewing satisfaction

In the case of a variety pack, it may occasionally be necessary to substitute an item in the event of stock shortage - the replacement will always be another treat of similar or higher value. Please note that the basket shown in our images is a styling prop.
All of our products are natural dog treats. Therefore each treat is unique and will vary in size, shape & colour.
Where pack sizes are shown as weights, these are as accurate as possible given the treats are natural products - it is sometimes not possible to be exact.
Our natural dog treats are dehydrated to retain nutrition. They are free from any additives or preservatives.
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.
Always feed under supervision. Intended for use as a pet treat only not a complete meal. Ensure clean, fresh water is available.
Please store in an airtight container a cool, dry place.
Common Questions: Beef Paddywack
What exactly is Beef Paddywack?
Beef Paddywack is the Nuchal Ligament of the cow—a powerful, elastic tissue found in the neck that supports the weight of the head. Because it is a natural ligament rather than a manufactured product, it is 100% digestible and incredibly tough, making it the perfect Rawhide Alternative for dogs that need a long-lasting challenge.
How does Paddywack support joint health?
Paddywack is uniquely rich in Elastin and Type III Collagen. These specific proteins are the building blocks of healthy connective tissues. Unlike synthetic supplements, the Bioavailability of these natural proteins allows your dog to absorb the nutrients more effectively, supporting long-term joint mobility and flexibility.
Is Paddywack safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Yes. Because it is a single-ingredient Australian beef product, it is free from the chemicals, glues, and bleaches found in rawhide. Its Fibrillar Structure breaks down naturally in the digestive tract, acting similarly to a digestive aid while being much gentler on the stomach than processed dental sticks.
How does it compare to other "Long-Lasting" chews?
Unlike bone, which can be brittle, or shark cartilage, which is crunchier, Paddywack requires sustained gnawing to soften. This makes it a superior Dental Chew for strong jaws, providing the resistance needed to scrape away stubborn plaque and tartar.
Can small dogs eat Beef Paddywack?
While typically recommended for medium to large breeds due to its toughness, smaller dogs can enjoy it as a long-term project. It provides excellent Mental Enrichment for small dogs, though we always recommend supervision to ensure they are chewing safely and effectively for their size.
I spent a long time on the hunt for local, natural, healthy treats for my two power chewing kelpies. These are a great way to occupy them for a decent amount of time with peace of mind. They love these! Up there with bully sticks.
Always a popular treat with Fraser, and takes him a bit longer to chew through, especially the larger sized ones, which is good for a Beagle.
My boy loved these! I also was happy they were a bit bigger in size for my neo! He enjoys these!
We would always get the paddywhack in our chewers delight bag and we soon found out that these were her favourite! They are long lasting (even for our chewing mad dog!) and don't leave behind a mess. We've now realised that we need to have paddywhacks on hand at all time as part of our treat rotation! Another great product from the Bonza team :)
My dog couldn't love these more
