When we plan to get a dog, we face several problems, not having solved which, both we and our pet will experience some discomfort. Thus, problems with the nutrition of a pet can become, if not fatal, then critical. Therefore, the issue of its feed should be approached thoroughly.
For everyone in the public domain there are whole libraries devoted to the topic of dog nutrition. There you can find any information you are interested in - both general and for a specific breed and age. But our article is devoted not so much to food as to the so-called toy-rattle.
Why do you need such toys
As everyone is well aware, mammals have teeth cut at an early age. And dogs are no exception. To help the puppy cope with pain and itching and facilitate tooth growth, its owners can buy a rubber toy for the baby. But it can happen that the puppy does not like it or becomes unusable too quickly. What to do in this case? Dried offal will come to the rescue.
We are all well aware of what mosol is and what it should be given to dogs for teeth. Many owners do so. But it is worth noting that this is a bone, and the dog can swallow a sharp splinter or hurt their gums. Let's just say it is “cheap and cheerful,” but it is not the best way out of the situation. The fact is that other offal can be used for such purposes, for example veins and tendons. True, they are too fragile and literally "melt in the mouth", then the bull root comes to our aid.
The most delicious offal
If we omit the anatomical details, it is worth noting that this product is not of plant origin. It is not clear why, but dogs show a rather manic passion for this dried meat. Therefore, it is worthwhile to ensure that the animals receive enough named treats - for them, the bull root is like mom’s pies. How much joy and indescribable pleasure will appear in the eyes of your favorite when you give him this yummy!
What is useful for offal dogs
It is worth starting with the fact that the bull root for dogs is not only a delicious treat, but also a valuable addition to the main diet. This offal gives the animal a wide range of amino acids and other beneficial substances that are used to strengthen ligaments, muscles and tendons. It helps the dog during the change of milk teeth and in cleansing them of food plaque, as trying to chew a treat, your pet will certainly experience certain difficulties and strain his jaw to taste it. In addition to all this, dried bovine root improves digestion. For those interested, there is also a table of its nutritional value.

Where can I find a treat
So you know what a bull root is, but where to get it? The easiest solution to this is to go to the nearest pet store. In almost any such outlet you can find the delicacy you are interested in. At the same time, there are other options. So, you can try your luck and order a dog treat - a bull root - in the online store. And you can go to a large meat market and search there, and if you have friends in the village, then ask them.
What does it look like
Returning to the topic of finished semi-finished products, it can be noted that the bull root is usually packaged in packages of different formats and sizes. Naturally, everything is done based on what kind of dog a treat will be purchased for and how much its owner is willing to spend.
In ordinary pet stores you can find packs of 4 pieces each up to 25-30 cm long. On the Internet you can find a barrel for 100 "roots" on sale. As a rule, manufacturers pack them in vacuum bags with a tape fastener. This packaging is always convenient to carry. And if your pet could not overpower his portion immediately, it can be postponed until better times.
The only thing you should consider is that the bovine root has a rather specific smell. Weak but present.
Harvesting Methods
If you look closely at the bull root, you can understand that it is dehydrogenated. The dehydration process itself involves the removal of moisture from a product. This is achieved in various ways, both in terms of technology and other indicators.
The most common and easiest way to dry meat is to dry it normally under favorable conditions. Those for this process are: high temperature, dry external air and good ventilation. This method is good for home production in the open air, and for industrial, when the meat is dried in special "cabinets".
Just remember that this process has many nuances, especially when drying takes place in the open. As we have said, the bovine root is dried, which means that it can be soaked if necessary. Therefore, you can soak the treat in warm water and after a while get up to one meter of fresh beef meat. An interesting fact is that during the drying process, the bovine root decreases in volume by almost 5 times.
Feed Your Pets Deliciously
So you found out what a bull root is for treats for dogs. If you have not tried to give it to your pet, try it. We are sure that the pet will appreciate your care and attention to its problems. This kind of attention is especially important for those who are just beginning to cut their teeth and have an irresistible desire to nibble something (for example, your favorite slippers or ceremonial leather shoes). But you shouldn’t forget about the old people, as they will also like this treat.
