Overview Some dogs power through chews in minutes, leaving you with a mess and a pup still looking for more. Cow hooves for dogs are one of the toughest natural chews around, giving your dog a safe outlet for their chewing instincts and keeping them busy for hours. Serve them plain straight out of the pack, or stuff them with your dog's favourite filling for an extra tasty challenge. For hot days, fill the hoof, pop it in the freezer, and you have a cool, long-lasting treat that will keep even strong chewers entertained.

Specifications Ingredient: 100% cattle hoof Origin: New Zealand Form: Dried and cleaned natural hoof Shelf life: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight Benefits Cow hooves tick a lot of boxes for both dogs and owners. They're long-lasting, which makes them cost-effective, and the hard surface helps scrape away plaque as dogs chew, supporting dental health. Chewing also works as a natural stress reliever, giving dogs an outlet for energy and helping prevent destructive behaviour at home. Because these hooves are natural and contain no nasties, you can feel confident about giving them as an occasional treat. Usage Instructions Offer the hoof as a supervised chew, especially if your dog is new to this type of treat. Serve plain or fill with wet food, peanut butter, or other dog-safe favourites. For an extended challenge, freeze the stuffed hoof before giving it to your dog. Always provide fresh water during chew sessions. Important Notes Not suitable for puppies, elderly dogs, or pets with dental issues. As with all hard chews, supervision is recommended to ensure safe chewing. Remove and discard the hoof if it splinters or becomes small enough to swallow whole. Compatibility Best for medium to large adult dogs with strong chewing habits. Lighter chewers may still enjoy stuffed hooves but may not need the full toughness of the chew. Care and Maintenance Store in a cool, dry place to keep the hooves fresh. Do not boil, bake, or alter the hoof before giving it to your dog. Dispose of any pieces that become sharp, splintered, or too small. Frequently Asked Questions Are cow hooves safe for dogs? Yes, they are safe when given as intended. Always supervise your dog while chewing and remove the hoof if it breaks into sharp or small pieces. How long do cow hooves last? For most dogs, they last significantly longer than standard chews. Strong chewers may wear them down faster, while lighter chewers can enjoy them over several sessions. Can I stuff the hooves with food? Absolutely. Many owners fill them with wet food, dog-safe peanut butter, or raw mince. For longer-lasting entertainment, freeze the stuffed hoof before giving it. Do they help with dental health? Yes, chewing naturally scrapes plaque and can help keep teeth cleaner. Regular dental care should still be maintained alongside chews. Where are Shine Pets' cow hooves sourced from? All of our cow hooves are sourced and produced in New Zealand, using local cattle and natural processes.
