This site says that people use it for dental exercise and someone on Yahoo! Answers said they allow their dogs to chew it too. I googled around a bit and it seems to be fine. Although, it seemed like to should be given whole as something to chew on (comparable to a knuckle, marrow or soup bone) rather than something that should be cut up and given as food to actually eat. I, however, do not have any personal experience with them.

 

they come cut up just trying to get more bone in there diet.they do not do well on chicken

 

My guys treated them like bubble gum. Chew chew chew chew chew ...

Have you tried turkey?

 

My dog takes much longer to chew on ox tail so it slows him down (which is a good thing) whether it is cut up in slices or as a chunk as large as a knuckle bone.

I would 2nd turkey as a suggestion as turkey necks can be picked up for a reasonable cost (cheaper than ox tail!)

 

I was having a hardtime finding turkey necks but I think I found one to day
