Our collagen sticks are made from 100% beef inner skin, which is naturally rich in collagen. There are no grains, artificial preservatives, dyes, or unnecessary fillers added. So when we say single ingredient, we really do mean one ingredient: beef.

Collagen sticks give dogs a satisfying way to chew while naturally providing protein and collagen. Chewing can also help scrape buildup from the teeth and, perhaps most importantly for a bored dog, gives them something productive to do. We think of them as a chew with nutritional benefits rather than a replacement for a balanced diet or any joint supplement your vet has recommended.

If you're trying to move away from traditional rawhide, collagen sticks can be a useful alternative. They're made from beef inner skin and are designed to be digestible rather than simply giving your dog something tough to chew. 

The biggest difference is what they're made from. Collagen sticks come from the inner layer of beef skin, while bully sticks are made from beef pizzle. Both are single-ingredient beef chews, but collagen sticks have a dense texture and naturally contain collagen, so your choice may simply come down to your dog's chewing style and which texture they prefer.

There's no one schedule that works for every dog because size, diet, chewing speed, and digestion all matter. We recommend introducing collagen sticks gradually and keeping them as a treat rather than an unlimited snack. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or hasn't tried one before, start with a shorter supervised chew session and see how they respond before offering more.
