Kangaroo tendons are great for puppies and small to Large dogs. Chew treats such as kangaroo tendons have great benefits for dogs. Firstly, over 70% of dogs over two years suffer from some form of periodontal disease. A good chew every day will help to mechanically disrupt plaque build-up due to the repetitive movement of the teeth against the treat creating a brushing action. In addition, a good chew also has behavioural benefits for dogs, as it stimulates the production of calming hormones. A great way to reduce hyperactivity is a short training session, game or sniffari (to alleviate boredom) followed...
