Pet Munchies Large Buffalo Dental Chew – 90g

Pet Munchies Large Buffalo Dental Chew – 90g

The large chew in Pet Munchies' buffalo range, 90g to the pouch. The material is grass-fed buffalo hide at a declared 66.4%, with beef tendon behind it and salmon oil worked through — a genuine long-lasting chew rather than a treat, and the only product on this page that will occupy a determined dog for any length of time.

Hide chews carry a great deal of protein and very little else: Pet Munchies publish 78% crude protein against 2.5% fat, 0.3% crude fibre and 3.5% ash. The salmon oil is there for omega 3, which is why these are usually sold on skin and coat as well as teeth.

Performance & Benefits

• Grass-fed buffalo hide 66.4%, with beef tendon and salmon oil.
• 78% crude protein and only 2.5% fat.
• Salmon oil as a declared source of omega 3.
• Long lasting — this is the chew in the range that survives sustained work.
• Sustained gnawing helps lift soft plaque before it hardens into tartar.
• Grain and gluten free, with no artificial colours or flavours.

Suitable For

• Larger dogs and committed chewers.
• Dogs that get through the meat strips and dental sticks in seconds.
• Suitable from four months, on Pet Munchies' own guidance.
• Dogs needing something to occupy them during a quiet hour at home.
• Too large for a small dog to manage — the Pet Munchies Small Buffalo Dental Chews 55g pack four smaller chews for that.

Feeding

• Complementary treat — feed alongside a complete, balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies of four months and over.
• Give one chew at a time and stay in the room while it is being worked on.
• Keep fresh drinking water available throughout.
• Pet Munchies publish general feeding guidance only for this treat, not a gram allowance by bodyweight, so none is stated here.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: buffalo hide 66.4%, beef tendon, salmon oil (source of omega 3).
• Crude protein 78%. Fat content 2.5%. Crude fibre 0.3%. Crude ash 3.5%. Moisture 18%.
• 90g pouch.
• Pet Munchies publish no chew count, chew length or omega 3 figure for the large size, so none is stated here.
• This is a hide chew. Pet Munchies do not list vitamins or added minerals in its declaration.

Care & Caution

• Buffalo hide softens and stretches as a dog works it. A swallowed end piece can lodge in the gullet or the gut, so take the last stub away.
• Supervise the whole chew. Never leave a dog alone with one in a crate or a car.
• Not suitable for a dog that bolts its chews whole rather than gnawing them.
• Keep fresh drinking water available — hide swells as it takes up moisture.
• Complementary treat only, not a meal.
