Why we stock it
A flat pork shoulder blade bone — worth being specific here, because it is not smoked and not treated in any way, just dried. Its broad, flat shape gives a dog a different chewing angle to a rounded bone, and it rates 4 to 5 of 5, so it sits alongside the Beef Joint Bone as a serious chew rather than an everyday one.
What it is
A real pork scapula (shoulder blade) bone, dried and preserved with vinegar. Not smoked. About 150×120mm per piece, natural size variation applies. Rates 4 to 5 of 5 on the Pets Elite chewiness scale. Available as a single, or packs of 2 or 3.
Ingredients
Pork (scapula bone), vinegar.
Vinegar is used during dehydration as a natural preservative. No grain, no added salt or sugar, no colourants or flavourants.
Feeding and use
Give under supervision, with fresh water alongside. Take it away once it is small enough to swallow whole. Chews and treats should stay under about 10% of what your dog eats in a day.

- Dogs with strong teeth and an established chewing habit
