Care

While owning a hypoallergenic dog can be a great solution for those with allergies, it's important to take proper care of your pet to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. Regular grooming, such as brushing and bathing your dog, can help reduce the amount of dander and allergens on their skin and coat. It's also important to keep your home clean and free of pet hair and dander by vacuuming and dusting regularly. Additionally, consider investing in an air purifier and choosing a high-quality, hypoallergenic dog food to help support your dog's overall health and reduce the risk of skin irritations that can trigger allergies. By following these good pet care practices, you can enjoy the companionship of a hypoallergenic dog without worrying about allergic reactions.


In conclusion, if you have allergies but still want to enjoy the companionship of a dog, these hypoallergenic dogs are all good choices.

Customer video review of Large Ostrich Cane (11.5" x 5"): The Ultimate Long-Lasting Chew for Medium, Large & XL Dogs

This is Jax. He’s a rescue now living his best life. He loves to chew but destroys quickly any toy or bone….until I found this ostrich bone. He absolutely LOVES it. He’d chew for hours if I let him. I sometimes have to pick up to get him to take a break. LOL Will definitely be buying again…and again. Thanks for a great product!

Customer photo review of Chewy Ostrich Whole Gizzard: The Protein & Omega-3 Rich, Natural Dog Chew Treat

When I opened the treat, my dog came running to me sniffing the air like, what is that. Gave it to him and noticed his eyes went wide. He barked ran around the room, jumped and barked again. I finally realized he didn’t know what to do with this LARGE treat. He’s only 10 pounds. Broke a small section off, he went to chewing on that delicious ostrich gizzard. Another positive note, no offensive order.

Customer photo review of Ostrich Long Bone (19" x 3.5"): The Ultimate Challenge for Medium, Large & Extra-Large Dogs

Love it! My 8 month old PitShepSky mix is a super chewer. We have tried every type of bone, chew, yak chew, antler, etc… and everything is demolished within minutes. We are currently on day seven of his ostrich leg bone and still going strong. This has been his absolute favorite treat and the longest lasting by far. Highly recommend!

Customer photo review of Power Chewer Medium Box — 8 Ostrich Treats for Serious Chewers

So…..I ordered this food because my Shar Pei is Savannah. She is loving the ostrich sausages as a topper on her fresh salmon. The free gift were ostrich twists and she loved them. Chewed em up and gone. Ostrich chips with beetroot, she’s loving it as well. Savannah for Savannah. Love it!

Customer video review of Ostrich Long Bone (19" x 3.5"): The Ultimate Challenge for Medium, Large & Extra-Large Dogs

Unemployed Lloyd loves this so much! He's been chewing on it for a couple weeks and has not lost interest or destroyed it. It doesn't splinter and keeps him busy for hours. At one point he accidentally pushed it under the sofa and he was beside himself trying to get to it! This is by far the best thing we've found for him to chew on safely that lasts for a long time. Will be ordering more of your ostrich items! Lloyd thanks you and so do we!

Customer video review of Ostrich Foot Bone (7" x 3.5"): The Flavorful & Long-Lasting Chew for Small to Medium Dogs

Our 7 lb. Yorkies have put a hurtin on this thing in about 2 days. The actual bone itself is still in tact but the softer tissues on the outside are just about gone. That's both good and bad. They love the bone but ingesting that tissue upsets their stomach a little. This is the leg bone. I will order more but will try other items. I need something that they want to chew but really can't eat.

Customer video review of Moderate Chewer Trial Pack — 6 Ostrich Treats for Everyday Chewers

Love Savannah snacks! I get a subscription to this set every month and the dogs really look forward to it. And I feel good about what I’m giving them because it’s lean and healthy, not to mention it doesn’t set off my little girl’s allergies (she has a strong allergy to chicken but the ostrich doesn’t have any effect on her). I especially like the beetroot snacks and they eat that every night after their last potty break, that gets them into their beds fast. I think the beetroot has a lot of vitamins and it’s really good for them. I forgot to show the braided tendon one that also comes in this kit… I forgot to show it because I just gave them that after lunch this afternoon. I think it’s a good deal for the amount of treats you get in one box.

Customer video review of Ostrich Foot Bone (7" x 3.5"): The Flavorful & Long-Lasting Chew for Small to Medium Dogs

I have to admit I was not going to believe this until I saw it with my own eyes. My dog Riley devours a bone in about 30 seconds and splinters it everywhere. She has had this for over 20 minutes now and it hasn’t budged and she is really really enjoying it. I am so excited! Finally somebody has figured out how to make Riley happy.
