Beef Tendons
Dense Connective Tissue Built For Joint Support.
Our Beef Tendons are raw flexor tendons, a collagen-dense connective tissue that is a natural source of elastin and glucosamine.
Flexor tendons connect the muscles of the lower leg to the bone and bear enormous tension with every step, which is why they are made almost entirely of tightly packed collagen fibers rather than muscle. That dense, fibrous structure makes them naturally lean and tough, giving them a satisfying chew when fed whole. They can also be dehydrated at home into long-lasting chews, or simmered into homemade bone broth, where the collagen breaks down into gelatin.
Raw Feeding Fact
Collagen is a structural protein, not a complete one. It is notably low in the essential amino acid tryptophan, so tendons work best as one part of a varied diet rather than as a primary protein source. Pairing them with muscle meat and organs fills in the amino acids that collagen lacks, while the tendon contributes the connective tissue that muscle meat alone doesn't provide.
