What Are Goliath Bones: The Answer to Aggressive Chewing

The other day, after my evening run, I was sitting on a bench at the local park, reading the latest thriller by my favorite author on my phone while my lab mix lounged happily in the grass near me. He couldn't get enough of the most massive dog bone I've ever seen. It certainly attracted some looks from passersby—and a few pics for Instagram.

Everyone wanted to know about this dog bone. I explained to more than one person that even though my Bruno is a gentle giant, he's also an aggressive chewer. He can tear most dog bones to bits in seconds. I had looked everywhere for dog chews for aggressive chewers like him before I found Goliath bones.

What are Goliath bones, you ask? I'm here to tell you about the long-lasting dog chews for aggressive chewers that saved my relationship... with my dog and my new running shoes.

What Are Goliath Bones?

Goliath bones are large, sturdy bones, usually a beef leg bone. These have to be strong to hold up a cow, and they can withstand the powerful jaws of my aggressive chewer. 

What Are the Benefits of Goliath Bones?

Definitely durability. These bones are incredibly tough, making them the ideal long-lasting dog chews for aggressive chewers. They can withstand hours of intense chewing without breaking apart—although you shouldn't let your dog have a bone for that long.

Next, there's the size. Goliath Bones are designed as dog bones for large dogs, providing a substantial treat that keeps them engaged and satisfied. That's important because big dogs need big bones. If I give my large dog a bone that is too small, he may swallow it. It becomes a choking hazard, and I prefer not to take any chances.

These bones work my dog's jaw like nobody's business, keeping it strong while also providing ample crevices and surface area to scrape away plaque, supporting cleaner teeth and less bad breath. And did you know that bones for dogs are also important for mental health?

For our furry companions, chewing is a comforting activity. They do it when they're bored or anxious. If you don't give your dogs something to chew on, they will find something as my brand new running shoes once found out.

Last but certainly not least, Goliath bones are loaded with nutrition, which comes from the bone itself, the tasty meaty bits, and the bone marrow. Bone marrow is a slightly sweet and delicious treat for dogs.

Do you love natural peanut butter? Well, I do. So that's what I compare it to. Maybe you'd compare it to chocolate, which we both know we can never, ever give to dogs. I'm glad I can give my dogs the "chocolate" of dog treats.

For dogs, marrow is a lot like that. But it's not just any treat. It's a no-guilt treat full of:

• Protein is mostly in the form of collagen, the most abundant protein in a mammal's body. It's vital for everything from bones to joints to the intestinal lining.
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin E
• B12
• Glucosamine
• Chondroitin
• Polyunsaturated fat (Omega 6 and 3)

Then there are grass-fed Goliath bones for dogs, which have more omega 3 and less saturated fat.

Safety First with Long Lasting Dog Chews for Aggressive Chewers

When looking for safe dog chews for aggressive chewers, I need to choose a dog bone that doesn't splinter easily. These better bones come from grass-fed beef raised in the USA. But there's more to safety than sourcing.

Goliath bones are prepared safely using a slow and low-heat cooking process. This maintains the bone's integrity. It minimizes the risk of creating weak spots that an aggressive chewer like my fur baby could use to break the bone, making it unsafe.

That said, I always supervise my pups as they enjoy their long-lasting dog chews for aggressive chewers because any risk is too much for me. If the dog bone becomes unsafe, I carefully take it away. Now, here's my secret for getting that bone away safely. I buy trachea tube, also from grass-fed beef. And I do a little trade with my dog. Bruno will always drop a bone for some chewy trachea tube.

How I Use Goliath Bones?

I have some quick tips for giving your dogs Goliath bones that I've learned over the years.

Always Supervise - It's easy to start taking safety for granted because these extra large dog bones are such safe dog chews for aggressive chewers. But please schedule some time to stay near when you give your dog an all-natural dog bone treat. Sometimes, I'm gardening, meal prepping, reading, or chatting up a friend, but I'm always there when my dogs enjoy their dog bone.

Keep Things Interesting - I could never eat the same thing every day, so I also like to offer my dogs variety. Sometimes I give them Goliath bones, sometimes lung bites, and sometimes beef knee caps. or knuckles. They're all from grass-fed cattle. But each offers my dogs a different experience with varying size and curvature. That said, I make sure they're the right size and don't give my lab mix the same size I give to my medium-sized terrier.

No More than 10% of the Diet - They may be super healthy, but they're still a treat. Veterinarian-approved pet food needs to be most of my dogs' diets. I give them their dog bone for 15-30 minutes 2-3 times a week. Then I do that switch-a-roo with the beef trachea I told you about earlier and put the bone away for next time. Since I'm on my run, I brought a little backpack with a plastic bag inside to store the bones on the way home.

Store Properly - If you freeze the bone after each use, you can give it back to your dog several times. I like to get my money's worth so I'm glad Goliath bones aren't a one time treat.

Bottom Line: Why I Choose Goliath Bones?

Goliath bones were the massive dog bones I had been searching for. They are safe and long lasting dog chews for aggressive chewers. I've truly found dog bones for large dogs that my lab mix can't destroy in seconds. I love their sheer size, durability, and nutrition. My large dog loves the taste, the cleaner teeth, and the emotional support benefits of massive dog bones.
