T. Forrest dog chews

The range leans firmly toward natural chews built around real bones and hide — filled bones in chicken, lamb and meat varieties, empty and meat-filled hooves, and mini roasted marrow bones — alongside a smaller line of grain and gluten-free sausages in beef and vegetable, and black pudding. It is a chew-focused range rather than a complete dry or wet food, so it sits alongside your dog's normal meals rather than replacing any part of them.

Filled bones and hooves are long-lasting chews, which suits dogs who enjoy working at something over time rather than a treat gone in one bite, though as with any chew, size needs to be matched to your dog and supervision is sensible, particularly the first time you offer a new type.

This is a good fit for owners who want a natural, minimally processed chew rather than a heavily processed treat, and who have a dog that enjoys the kind of longer chewing session a filled bone or hoof provides. It is less suited to a dog who needs something soft, such as a very young puppy or a dog with dental sensitivity.

As with any chew, introduce a new type gradually and keep an eye on how your dog manages it, particularly with anything bone-based, and stop offering it if your dog seems to be struggling to chew it comfortably rather than persisting.
