The Buffalo Co. Beef Lung Steaks – 100% Naturally Air-Dried Dog Chews

The Buffalo Co. Buffalo Lung Steaks – 100g

Air-dried lung, cut into flat steaks and slowly dried until it is firm but still gives under a dog's teeth. Lung has an open, spongy structure, so it tears rather than shatters — a dog can get properly stuck into it without the tooth risk that comes with horn or bone.

That texture is what makes it useful at both ends of a dog's life: puppies past weaning and older dogs with tired teeth manage lung when they cannot manage a dense sinew. At 75% protein and 9% fat it is lean enough to hand out as a training reward without unbalancing the day's feeding.

Performance & Benefits

• 100g of air-dried buffalo lung and nothing else.
• 75% crude protein and 9% crude fat — high protein, moderate fat.
• Open, spongy texture that tears apart instead of splintering.
• Breaks down cleanly into smaller training-sized pieces by hand.
• Free-range, grass-fed buffalo, with no additives, preservatives or colours.
• Single-protein treat, which makes it easy to fit into an exclusion diet.

Suitable For

• Dogs of all sizes, from puppies past weaning to seniors.
• Older dogs and dogs with worn teeth that cannot manage a hard chew.
• High-value training rewards, broken into pieces.
• Dogs on a single-protein or elimination diet, where buffalo is a novel protein.
• Not a long-lasting chew — a determined chewer will finish a steak quickly, and The Buffalo Co. Buffalo Horn or Buffalo Paddywack is the better choice there.

Feeding

• Feed as a complementary treat alongside a complete, balanced diet.
• Break the steaks down into smaller pieces for training or for a small dog.
• Reduce the day's main meal to allow for what is fed as treats.
• Provide fresh drinking water, and supervise while your dog is eating it.
• Store in a cool, dry place once the pack is opened.
