Finding the best treat products for your four-legged best friend can be difficult with the number of products to choose from these days. So, a question you might have is, are beef esophagus products good for dogs? And it's a resounding YES!
Natural Farm has two great beef esophagus products to choose from — Beef Gullet Sticks and Beef Jerky Treats — and we’ve outlined everything you need to know about them below.
Pros of Beef Gullet Sticks for Dogs
Our Beef Gullet Sticks are a high-value treat with a deliciously complex flavor. This special treat is softer than bully sticks but equally as entertaining.
Nutritional Benefits
Gullet sticks are very easy to chew and gnaw, and are highly recommended for senior dogs, small dogs, dogs with dental issues, dogs with arthritis, and for younger and pickier pups.
The digestible treat is gentle on a sensitive stomach and has a high natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin, which promotes positive joint health for pups. They also naturally support dogs’ dental health as they chew, working to stimulate jaw muscles and scraping away tartar and plaque.
Behavioral Benefits
As a high-value treat, this will offer an exciting chewing time for your dog and will keep them busy and occupied! Chewing stimulates a dog’s brain and keeps them preoccupied long enough to avoid destructive behaviors brought about by boredom, restlessness, or anxiety.
Health Benefits
Natural Farm’s easy-to-digest Beef Gullet Sticks contain a single ingredient: only the highest quality, 100% natural, human-grade beef esophagus for pure flavor, and they never contain questionable preservatives, additives, or flavorings.
Cons of Beef Gullet Sticks for Dogs
There are many pros to giving your dog this all-natural, low-odor, and highly digestible treat. However, they may not be the best fit for dogs that prefer to gnaw on only heavy chews, and they should not be given to dogs with beef allergies.
Pros of Beef Jerky for Dogs
Our Beef Jerky Treats are wider and flatter than our Beef Gullet Sticks. These chewy and tasty treats provide pups with a resistant chew that softens to a highly digestible, flavorful treat.
Nutritional Benefits
Beef Jerky Treats are an excellent option for light chewers, dogs with dental issues, senior dogs, dogs with arthritis, small breeds, and puppies while offering an exceptionally flavorful chew.
Made from the highest quality, all-natural, human-grade beef esophagus, these chews soften to become fully digestible. With a rich source of chondroitin and glucosamine to support joint health and better mobility and flexibility in dogs, it is both mouthwatering and delightfully textured for natural dental benefits.
Behavioral Benefits
Every dog needs to have a good chew once in a while as chewing stimulates a dog’s brain and keeps them preoccupied long enough to avoid destructive behaviors brought about by boredom, restlessness, or anxiety.
Natural Farm bakes beef esophagus to form a uniform sheet of beef, forming the ideal treat for lighter chewers.
Health Benefits
Natural Farm’s easy-to-digest Beef Jerky Treats contain a single ingredient: only the highest quality, 100% natural, human-grade beef esophagus for pure flavor, and they never contain questionable preservatives, additives, or flavorings.
Cons of Beef Jerky for Dogs
There are many pros to giving your dog this all-natural, low-odor, and highly digestible treat. However, they may not be the best fit for dogs that prefer to gnaw on only heavy chews, and they should not be given to dogs with beef allergies.
Alternatives for Beef Esophagus Products
Now that you know all the great benefits of giving your dog beef products to chew on, there are plenty of other healthy dog treats and chews you can choose from.
There are many natural dog treats available on the market for your fur babies. If you’re looking for all-natural and healthy chews that aren’t made from beef, look into Natural Farm’s Pig Ears or nail-free Chicken Feet.
Natural Farm Bully Stick Filled Bones
Another fantastic alternative is the Bully Stick Filled Bones that ensure cleaner teeth and stronger jaws. With three flavors — Bully Stick, Peanut Butter, and Bacon & Cheese — your dog will find their favorite flavor! Also, chewing these bones will stimulate their brain and provide stress relief.
This option is made for larger dogs, and the bones are easily refillable with other dog-friendly ingredients of your choosing.
Natural Farm Collagen Sticks
Natural Farm's Collagen Sticks are perfect if your dog devours treats in record time. Made with 100% natural beef skin from grass-fed cattle, they contain nutrients that support joint flexibility, skin health, a shiny coat, and an active mind.
This treat is made for medium-to-heavy chewers and generally lasts longer than our Bully Sticks. Plus, we’ve got a Gourmet version that features an added all-natural beef coating for an even more flavorful chewing experience.

About Natural Farm
In 2018, after years of searching for high-quality, natural dog treat products, we decided to bring them to the market ourselves. That’s how Natural Farm was born—we wanted to present the industry with what it lacked the most: natural dog chews, treats, and bones, sustainably sourced from local suppliers and produced in our own human-grade, FDA- and USDA-approved facilities, where every product is lab tested for quality and contamination.
Natural Farm is committed to pets, people, and the planet. We give back to communities and pets in need, support reforestation efforts and nonprofits, and our products are packaged using recycled materials.
