Dehydrated kangaroo ribs are a nutrient-dense, hypoallergenic, long-lasting chew that supports dental health and mental stimulation, making them ideal for Australian dogs with sensitivities. At Elite Raw, we prioritize proper sourcing and sizing to ensure each Kangaroo Rib provides a safe and beneficial experience for your dog. These chews promote strong teeth while engaging your dog’s natural chewing instincts, contributing to overall well-being. Designed to align with our commitment to improving your dog’s health through premium K9 nutrition, they are a trusted addition to any raw feeding regimen. Always supervise your dog during chewing to maintain safety and maximize benefits.
Key Benefits
🥩 Novel, Lean Protein
Kangaroo is a novel protein for many dogs, making it useful for dogs with common protein sensitivities (e.g., chicken, beef).
Naturally very lean, helping reduce excess fat intake while still providing high-quality protein.
🦷 Dental Health Support
The rib structure encourages extended chewing, which helps mechanically reduce plaque and tartar.
Chewing stimulates saliva production, supporting overall oral hygiene.
💪 Nutrient Density
Rich in iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support:
Muscle function
Immune health
Energy metabolism
🧠 Mental Enrichment
Tough, natural chews satisfy instinctive chewing behaviour.
Helps reduce boredom, stress, and destructive chewing at home.
🌱 Single-Ingredient & Low-Allergen
No additives, grains, or preservatives.
Well, suited to elimination diets or dogs with food intolerances.
🌏 Sustainable & Ethical (Australia-specific)
Kangaroo is generally considered a sustainable, free-ranging protein source with a lower environmental footprint than many livestock proteins.
Important Considerations
⚠️ Size & Supervision
Best for medium to large dogs with strong chewing ability.
Always supervise to reduce choking risk or inappropriate bone swallowing.
🦴 Bone Safety
Dehydrated (not cooked) bones are less brittle than cooked bones, but they can still splinter.
Remove the chew if it becomes small enough to swallow whole.
🧂 Feeding Balance
Treat, not a meal replacement.
Limit to occasional use (e.g., 1–2 times per week depending on dog size).
🧪 Quality Matters
Choose products that are:
Australian-sourced
Air- or slow-dehydrated
Tested for pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli)
Avoid smoked, flavoured, or heavily processed versions.
