Lamb chews are dried sheep tracheas that are offered as a chew for dogs. They are soft and pliable and are therefore particularly suitable for puppies, seniors or dogs with sensitive teeth. But are lamb chews also healthy and well tolerated by your four-legged friend? In this article, you can find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of lamb chews for dogs.
What is lamb's kid?
Lamb kid is a natural product obtained from the windpipe of sheep. The trachea is cleaned, dried and cut into pieces. This preserves the cartilage structure that gives the lamb goat its elasticity. Lamb goat is available in different sizes, depending on how large the windpipe was. The color can vary from light to dark, depending on how much the lamb goat has been dried.
What are the benefits of lamb's wool for dogs?
Lamb goat has several advantages as a chew for dogs:
- It is a natural and species-appropriate snack that promotes the chewing instinct and chewing muscles.
- It is rich in protein and contains important amino acids, which are important for muscle building and immune defense.
- It is low in fat and calories and is therefore also suitable for overweight or allergic dogs.
- It is easy to digest and does not burden the gastrointestinal tract.
- It cleans the teeth and prevents tartar.
- It has a low odor and leaves no stains on the floor or sofa.
What are the disadvantages of lamb's wool for dogs?
Lamb tails also have some disadvantages as a chew for dogs:
- It can cause injury to the mouth or throat if the dog chews too hastily or swallows too large a piece. You should therefore always watch your dog chew and only offer it suitable sizes.
- It can lead to diarrhea or vomiting if the dog eats too much or too often. You should therefore adjust the amount of lamb's wool to your dog's needs and give him no more than one or two pieces per week.
- It can lead to hypersensitivity or intolerance to lamb meat if the dog already has an existing allergy or develops one. You should therefore speak to your vet beforehand if you are unsure whether your dog can tolerate lamb.
Lamb tails are a tasty and healthy chew for dogs that offers many benefits. However, you should also be aware of some disadvantages and always supervise your dog when chewing.
If you notice any signs of hypersensitivity or poisoning in your dog, you should see your vet immediately. We are not a substitute for a vet, but we try to be as accurate as possible. Every dog reacts differently and we recommend you get a second opinion or consult your vet if in doubt.
Stay healthy and take good care of your four-legged friend!😊
