Goat Horn

Common Questions: Goat Horn

What makes Goat Horn a "Novel Protein," and why does it matter?

A Novel Protein is simply a meat source that your dog likely hasn't eaten before. Because most dog foods rely on beef or chicken, many dogs develop sensitivities to them. Goat is a "clean" alternative that is highly hypoallergenic, making these horns a safe, itch-free choice for dogs with skin or digestive allergies.

Is the marrow inside the horn healthy?

Absolutely. The center of each horn contains Desiccated Marrow (dried marrow), which is a powerhouse of healthy fats and minerals. Unlike the fatty marrow found in beef bones, goat marrow is typically leaner but still provides the essential nutrients that support healthy joints and a shiny, hydrated coat.

How does a Goat Horn actually clean a dog's teeth?

Goat horns are made of Keratin—the same tough protein found in human clear nails. As your dog gnaws on the horn, the outer edges provide a firm Mechanical Cleaning action. This slowly "sands down" plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth, reaching right up to the gum line where bacteria tend to hide.

Do Goat Horns splinter like cooked bones?

No. Because our horns are 100% natural and air-dried rather than cooked, they don't become brittle. Instead of splintering into sharp shards, the horn wears down slowly as your dog chews. This makes them a much safer, Long-Lasting alternative for powerful chewers who tend to destroy standard treats quickly.

Which size Goat Horn should I choose for my dog?

To ensure a safe chewing experience, we recommend choosing a size that is larger than your dog's mouth. Our Small horns are perfect for toy breeds and puppies, Medium suits most mid-sized dogs like Beagles or Border Collies, and our Large horns are designed for the "power chewers" (like Shepherds or Labs) who need a more significant challenge.
