Caution. Goat horn can be a good chew treat for dental health while providing mental stimulation for dogs. However, they're not suitable for puppies, seniors, or dogs with dental issues due to their hardness. Choose the right size goat horn for your dog's chewing style.

Benefits

health-benefits
  • Dogs can chew on goat horns as an occasional treat. Chewing on goat horns scrapes away plaque and tartar buildup, which promotes healthier canine teeth and gums.
  • Goat horns are durable dog chew treats that can be given to aggressive chewers. The enzymes in the dog's saliva help soften the edges so they are less likely to break off or splinter into large shards.
  • Chewing on goat horns promotes mental stimulation, prevents boredom, and eases anxiety.

Risks

  • Goat horns are not suitable for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with dental problems as chewing on the hard texture can break their teeth. They can benefit more on age-appropriate soft chew toys or treats.
