Shark Cartilage Chicken Twist Dog Chew Treat (p/unit)
Crunchy shark cartilage wrapped in real chicken — simple, meaty and seriously satisfying.
Our Shark Cartilage Chicken Twist combines a firm, crunchy centre of natural shark cartilage with strips of chicken tender wrapped around the outside, giving dogs two different textures and flavours in one treat.
The shark cartilage provides the characteristic crunch, while the chicken adds a savoury, meaty outer layer that makes these especially tempting for dogs who love poultry.
Compared with our Shark Tenderloin Pop, which is wrapped in firmer beef tendon, the chicken wrapping is easier to work through. This makes the Chicken Twist a great option for dogs who enjoy a substantial crunchy treat without quite as much resistance around the outside.

Ingredients:
Shark cartilage, chicken.
Contains two animal proteins: shark and chicken.
If your dog has known food allergies or is following a single-protein or elimination diet, please keep this in mind when choosing their treats.
What's Inside & Why It Matters:
We like knowing what we're feeding our dogs and why, so here's a closer look at the simple ingredients that make up this treat.
Shark Cartilage
Shark cartilage naturally contains chondroitin sulfate, collagen and other naturally occurring components of cartilage.
Chondroitin is a naturally occurring component of healthy cartilage and is also commonly used as an ingredient in canine joint-support supplements.
A natural treat shouldn't be considered a replacement for a measured supplement or veterinary treatment — and the naturally occurring amount will vary from piece to piece — but shark cartilage provides a natural dietary source of cartilage-derived compounds.
Chicken
Chicken provides a highly palatable source of animal protein and naturally occurring amino acids.
Wrapping chicken around the cartilage also gives this treat a second texture: a savoury, slightly more yielding outer layer around the crunchy cartilage centre.
For dogs who adore chicken, it also makes shark cartilage a particularly enticing treat.
Size & Texture:
Each Chicken Twist consists of firm shark cartilage wrapped in strips of chicken tender.
The cartilage itself is hard and crunchy but can generally be chomped through relatively easily by an experienced chewer. The chicken outer layer is firmer than ordinary dried meat but does not create the same rigid outer structure as beef tendon.
This gives the Chicken Twist a satisfying combination of meaty, firm and crunchy textures.
As this is a natural product, size, shape, thickness, colour and weight will vary from piece to piece.
How It's Sold:
Shark Cartilage Chicken Twists are sold individually, per unit.
Because each treat is naturally shaped, individual pieces will vary slightly in size, thickness and weight.

For Smaller Dogs:
These are not particularly easy to break apart neatly by hand because of the cartilage centre.
Smaller dogs can still enjoy them by having the treat for a short supervised chewing session, after which it can be removed and saved for another day.
If you would prefer smaller portions, the treat may also be carefully cut into sections using a suitable small hand saw or hacksaw.
Always inspect any cut edges before offering the treat to your dog.
How Long Will It Last?
There is no guaranteed chew time with natural treats.
The cartilage provides a satisfying crunch, but an enthusiastic chewer may work through one relatively quickly. A smaller or more leisurely chewer may take considerably longer or enjoy the same piece across multiple sessions.
Your dog's size, jaw strength and individual chewing style will ultimately determine how long it lasts.
Suitable For:
Dogs who enjoy firm, crunchy natural treats, particularly those who love chicken.
For dogs wanting a tougher and potentially longer-lasting option, our beef tendon-wrapped Shark Tenderloin Pop provides more resistance around the outside.
Choose a treat appropriate for your dog's size, chewing style and experience.
Feeding Guide:
Feed as an occasional treat or chew as part of a balanced diet.
Always supervise your dog while chewing and make sure fresh water is available.
Remove the treat if it becomes small enough to swallow whole, develops sharp edges or your dog attempts to swallow large pieces.
Firm natural chews may not be suitable for dogs with damaged or compromised teeth, existing dental disease or a tendency to swallow treats whole. If you're unsure whether a firm chew is appropriate for your dog, check with your veterinarian.
Spitz Groom Tip:
If your dog loves the satisfying crunch of shark cartilage but finds very tough chews a bit too much, the Chicken Twist is a lovely middle ground.
The cartilage gives them something substantial to crunch through, while the chicken wrapped around the outside adds an irresistible meaty reward.
For dogs who want more of a challenge, step up to our beef tendon-wrapped Shark Tenderloin Pop.
Meaty. Crunchy. Naturally satisfying.
A simple natural treat combining two textures dogs love.
