ATTENTION: Cartilage is not suitable as the sole raw meaty bone in the feeding plan, as it contains too little calcium. However, it provides a lot of cartilage, which especially benefits dogs with osteoarthritis. So it's worth integrating it into your dog's feeding plan.
Chewing Fun and Occupation: Beef Cartilage from Barfgold
Barfgold's beef cartilage in pieces is an excellent addition to raw feeding, serving both as an occupation and for natural nutrient supply. Cartilage tissue is naturally rich in glycosaminoglycans (such as chondroitin and glucosamine), which are the building blocks for a dog's joints and cartilage. Compared to hard bones, cartilage is significantly softer and more elastic, making it a gentle chewing alternative.
Chewing on the chunky cartilage massages the gums and the mechanical abrasion supports dental care. At the same time, the product provides valuable animal protein and important minerals in a natural form.
We particularly recommend Barfgold's beef cartilage for dogs that enjoy chewing but tend to have digestive problems or very firm stools with hard bones. It offers a welcome change in the bowl and naturally promotes the vitality of the musculoskeletal system.
Since cartilage is not a complete calcium source like bones, it should be fed as a supplement and reward within a balanced BARF plan.
