About Beef Achilles Tendons
Beef Achilles Tendons are a tough, natural chew that ticks all the boxes for dogs who love a long gnaw session. Made from 100% Australian beef, these tendon chews are high in protein, relatively low in fat, and free from any additives, preservatives or artificial flavours – just the way nature intended.
At around 30cm in length, these beef tendons are a great alternative to bully sticks. They’re dense, chewy and fully digestible, giving your dog a rewarding challenge without the risks of rawhide.
Dental & Mental Benefits
As your dog chews, the fibrous texture helps clean teeth and massage gums – reducing plaque, tartar build-up and even bad doggy breath. Chewing also provides mental enrichment and helps satisfy your dog’s natural urge to chew.
Who It’s For
Perfect for medium to large breeds, or any dog that loves a durable, healthy treat. Whether you're looking for a dental chew, boredom buster, or simply a natural treat, beef tendons are a pawfect pick.
Additional Info
Sold in 500g and 1kg bags. Due to the natural variation of the product, weights may vary slightly.

Common Questions: Beef Achilles Tendons
What makes Beef Tendons different from other beef chews?
Beef Tendons are composed of dense, Fibrous Connective Tissue. Unlike muscle meat (jerky) which is consumed quickly, tendons are designed to withstand tension. This means they provide a longer-lasting chewing experience as the fibres slowly separate, acting like a natural dental floss for your dog’s teeth.
Do Beef Tendons provide any joint support?
Yes. Tendons are a primary source of Bioavailable Glucosamine and Chondroitin. These are the natural building blocks of healthy cartilage. By feeding a Desiccated Protein like our Achilles tendons, you are providing your dog with functional nutrients that support joint mobility and ease inflammation naturally.
How do these support "Periodontal Health"?
Maintaining Periodontal Health (the health of the gums and structures around the teeth) requires more than just a crunch. As your dog chews a tendon, it softens into a brush-like texture. This allows the fibres to scrub deep into the crevices of the molars and massage the gum line, helping to prevent the buildup of bacteria and plaque.
Are Beef Tendons low in fat?
Achilles tendons contain around 18% fat, and are high in protein. Because they contain very little fat compared to items like pig ears or marrow bones, they are an excellent choice for dogs on a weight management plan or those with sensitive stomachs who still need a Long-Lasting boredom buster.
Are these suitable for all dog sizes?
While Beef Achilles Tendons are tough, they are safe for almost all sizes because they soften as they are chewed. They are small enough for medium breeds to manage, yet durable enough to keep large dogs engaged. For smaller dogs, they provide a "marathon" chewing session that offers great Mental Stimulation.

Natural variation
All of our products are natural dog treats, meaning each piece is unique. Size, shape, colour and thickness may vary from treat to treat.
Where products are sold by weight, measurements are as accurate as possible; however, slight variation can occur due to the natural nature of the treats.
Ingredients & processing
Our natural dog treats are gently dehydrated to help retain nutrition and are free from additives and preservatives.
Natural aroma
Natural treats can have a strong smell. While we can’t guarantee you’ll love it, your dog usually will. Strong aroma is normal and does not indicate any issue with freshness or quality.
Feeding guidance
Always feed under supervision and ensure fresh drinking water is available. Treats are intended for supplemental feeding only and are not a complete meal.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
I have a 37kg Briard who turned his nose up for bully sticks recently so I gave this one a try. He loves them and it lasts as long as jumbo bully sticks (20-30min chew)
