The Benefits of Collagen Chews for Dogs
Wondering if Collagen Chews are a good choice for your dog? Collagen Chews are a best seller for a reason! Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of collagen and why you should include Collagen Chews in your dog's diet!
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a vital protein found beneath the top layer of skin in animals. Serving as one of the primary components of connective tissues, collagen acts as the "glue" that helps hold the body together. While many of us are familiar with how collagen can benefit humans, in recent years, the use of collagen has been extended to our furry companions, as it offers significant advantages!
Benefits of Collagen
Collagen Chews are all the rage with dogs for many reasons. Collagen Chews are great boredom busters. They are durable like our single-ingredient Bully Sticks but tend to be a more cost-effective option! Collagen Chews also offer several other benefits:
- Collagen Chews are packed with protein and low in fat: Redbarn Collagen Chews are low in fat, while maintaining their protein-rich composition. With a high protein content, these treats help support your dog's overall health and muscle development.
- Collagen Chews help support dental health: The mechanical act of chewing on our tasty collagen chews helps remove plaque and tartar from your dog's teeth. Like our Dental Treats, Collagen Chews can help keep your dog's teeth clean between brushings (and... dogs usually enjoy chewing on a Collagen Stick more than getting their teeth brushed!)
- Collagen Chews come in a variety of options: Dogs love variety, and beef Collagen Chews provide just that! Available in a range of shapes, including Sticks, Braids, Braided Rings, Slims, and Springs, these chews offer different textures and exciting chew experiences. If you've got a picky pup, we also carry Collagen Wrapped Esophagus Chews and Bully Wrapped Collagen Sticks, making them even more tasty!
Are Collagen Chews Better Than Rawhide?
Customers often want to know the difference between collagen and traditional rawhide products. Although both are made from beef hide there are a few key differences:
- Collagen is the third inner layer of skin, referred to as the corium. This layer is more elastic than the epidermis which is used in rawhide.
- Collagen Sticks come with nutritional benefits such as being packed with protein, and rich in glucosamine and chondroitin. Glucosamine and chondroitin are known to benefit joint health!
- Traditional rawhide is often treated with harsh chemicals and additives whereas Redbarn’s Collagen Chews are minimally processed and are free from grain, gluten, wheat, corn, and soy.
Beef collagen chews for dogs are a fantastic addition to your dog’s chew selection. With their high protein content, low-fat composition, and variety of shapes, these Collagen Chew treats offer a multitude of benefits for your dog's overall well-being. Treat your dog to the wonders of beef Collagen Chews and watch them enjoy both the taste and the benefits!
