Venison Tendons/Sinew

Our Venison Tendons (deer sinew) are 100% natural chews made from premium Scottish venison achilles tendon. They are air-dried with nothing added, creating a long-lasting, high-protein and low-fat chew that satisfies your dog’s natural urge to gnaw while supporting overall health.

Yes, venison is a novel, single protein that many dogs with sensitivities to common meats such as chicken or beef tolerate very well. These chews are also grain-, gluten- and lactose-free with no preservatives, making them a great option for many sensitive dogs. However, always introduce new chews slowly and monitor your dog for any reaction.

Venison Tendons are suitable for puppies from around 12 weeks of age and for most healthy adult dogs. For very young puppies, older dogs with dental problems or dogs with specific medical conditions, check with your vet first and always supervise chewing sessions.

Yes, these tendons act as a natural dental chew. The tough, fibrous texture encourages your dog to gnaw, which helps scrape away soft plaque and tartar from the teeth and supports healthier gums and fresher breath. They are a great addition to your dog’s dental routine alongside tooth brushing and regular vet checks.

Venison Tendons are naturally low in fat and very high in protein, making them an excellent choice for dogs who need to watch their weight or have to avoid rich, fatty treats. Because they are also hypoallergenic and easy to digest, they can be a good option for dogs with pancreatitis or sensitive digestion—always follow your vet’s advice.

These chews are designed as a complementary treat, not a complete food. For most dogs, one tendon a few times per week is ideal, depending on their size, chewing style and overall calorie needs. Treats and chews should make up no more than about 10% of your dog’s daily diet, so adjust their main meals accordingly.

When fed appropriately and under supervision, Venison Tendons are a safe, highly digestible natural chew. Always supervise your dog while they chew, remove any small pieces that could be swallowed whole, and ensure fresh water is available. If your dog tends to gulp chews rather than gnaw them, choose softer or smaller treats instead.

Each tendon is approximately 15–30 cm in length, making them ideal for medium and large dogs who enjoy a good chew. Smaller dogs can also enjoy them with supervision, but you may wish to limit chewing time or choose smaller pieces. Always pick chews appropriate for your dog’s jaw strength and chewing habits.

Store the tendons in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Reseal the packaging after opening or transfer the chews into an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy. Use them before the best-before date printed on the pack.

Yes, our venison tendons are responsibly sourced within Scotland from trusted suppliers who prioritise high welfare and sustainable management of deer. Choosing natural venison chews also helps ensure more of the animal is used in a respectful, low-waste way while giving your dog a healthy, satisfying chew.
