Give your dog something worth chewing on. This 100% venison paddywhack is the kind of chew that actually keeps your pup occupied — tough, satisfying, and made from a single natural ingredient with nothing added. Pure New Zealand venison, air-dried to lock in flavour.

Paddywhack is the nuchal ligament — the dense, elastic connective tissue from the neck of the deer that works hard every day keeping the animal's head up. It's tough by nature, which is exactly what makes it such a rewarding chew for dogs. Whinny & Co's venison paddywhack is air-dried from 100% New Zealand venison with absolutely no additives, preservatives, or artificial anything.

With 78% crude protein and just 9% fat, it's a genuinely nutritious chew — not just a treat. That fibrous, springy texture does double duty: it keeps your dog mentally engaged and helps scrub plaque and tartar from teeth as they work through it. Think of it as a natural toothbrush that your dog will actually be happy to use.

Because it's single-ingredient venison, it's a smart choice for dogs with sensitivities to common proteins like beef or chicken. Venison is a novel protein for most dogs, making this ideal for allergy-prone pups who still deserve a proper chew.

Each piece ranges from 120–180mm — a good size for medium to large dogs who like a challenge. Best given with fresh water nearby, and always with supervision.
