Paddock Farm Lamb Tripe

Chewing does more for a dog's teeth than most owners give it credit for, scraping at plaque mechanically in a way no amount of brushing at home reliably replaces — which is most of the case for a dental chew that isn't actually branded as one.

This is 100% lamb, sold as a dried tripe chew rather than a processed treat, and Paddock Farm's own feature list credits the chewing action itself with helping clean teeth as a dog gnaws. It's grain and gluten free, and the analysis shows 65.7% crude protein, 21.8% crude fat, 4% crude ash and 7.83% moisture.

• 100% lamb, single ingredient
• Grain and gluten free
• Crude protein 65.7%
• Crude oils and fats 21.8%
• Crude ash 4%, moisture 7.83%
• Suitable from 12 weeks

On the fat content. At 21.8% fat this sits below the goat version Paddock Farm also sell, but it's still a rich chew rather than a lean one — factor it in against a dog's other treats that week if weight is a concern.

Who it's for: owners after a single-protein, grain-free chew that doubles as a dental aid through the chewing action itself, rather than a specific dental additive.
