Butchers Block

Natural Beef Treats Straight from Omaha

Butcher’s Block Pet Treats was founded in 1999 in Omaha, Nebraska, with a simple observation: dogs of all sizes need safe, natural chews that are not full of artificial chemicals. Located in the heart of beef country, the company committed to using the high-quality resources available in its own backyard. For over 25 years, they have provided pet owners with a safe alternative to imported rawhide and heavily processed snacks.

The brand is built on quality sourcing. They use exclusively Angus or Angus-Hereford crossed cattle, breeds known for superior beef quality. All cattle are born, raised, and harvested in the United States. This "born and raised in the USA" promise is a critical part of their safety standards, ensuring that no foreign ingredients or questionable processing methods enter their supply chain.

Butcher’s Block is for the dog owner who wants a simple, single-ingredient treat. It serves the needs of powerful chewers who destroy plush toys in seconds, as well as picky eaters who demand real meat flavor. If you are looking for a long-lasting chew that is 100% natural and made with American beef, this is the brand for you.

Why Butcher's Block Works

Single-Ingredient Purity: The treats are exactly what they look like. A beef bone is just a beef bone. A tendon is just a tendon. There are no fillers, binders, or unpronounceable additives.

Slow-Roasted Process: Butcher’s Block does not smoke or chemically treat their bones. Instead, they slow-roast them in one of their 14 ovens. This baking process locks in the natural beef flavor and achieves a shelf life of up to 24 months without artificial preservatives.

Hand-Trimmed Quality: Before going into the ovens, every bone and treat is trimmed by hand. This attention to detail ensures that excess fat is removed and the product meets their strict visual standards.

Superior Cattle Sourcing: By using only Angus and Angus-Hereford cattle, the brand ensures a consistent, high-quality product. This is the same grade of beef found in high-end steakhouses, repurposed into safe chews for pets.

Strict Safety Testing: The company uses a rigorous HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system. This means they test their cooking process to guarantee it kills harmful bacteria like Salmonella while keeping the water activity low enough to prevent mold growth.

Top Butcher's Block Products

Smoked Shank Bones

These are the heavyweights of the chew world. The shank is a dense, durable bone that can withstand aggressive chewing. The slow-roasting process gives it a rich aroma that keeps dogs interested for hours. It is ideal for large breeds who need a challenge.

Beef Trachea (The "Krunchie" Tubes)

A favorite for dogs who like a crunchy texture. Trachea is naturally high in glucosamine and chondroitin, which support joint health. It is fully digestible and breaks down as the dog chews, making it a safer alternative to synthetic chews.

Bully Sticks

Made from beef pizzle, these are among the most popular natural chews on the market. Butcher’s Block bully sticks are roasted to reduce odor while maintaining the chewy texture dogs love. They act as "nature's floss," helping to scrub plaque off teeth as the dog gnaws.

Beef Tendons

A tough, stringy chew that provides a good workout for a dog's jaw. As the dog chews, the tendon fibers soften and act like floss between teeth. They are low in fat and high in protein, making them a guilt-free reward.

Knee Caps

These are round, durable bones that are perfect for smaller to medium-sized dogs. They are naturally shaped to be difficult to break, offering a long-lasting chew session that helps satisfy a dog's natural urge to gnaw.

Supporting Products

Lung Puffs: Light, airy treats that are easy to break apart. These are excellent training rewards because they are low-calorie but packed with intense beef flavor.

Beef Liver: A nutrient-dense organ meat treat. Liver is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a powerful nutritional boost for any dog.

Patella Bones: A dense, rounded bone similar to the knee cap but often sized for different breeds.

Femur Bones: Large center-cut bones filled with marrow. These are the classic "soup bones" that offer a rich reward in the middle.

Real Beef, Real Safety

Butcher’s Block has spent a quarter-century proving that simple is better. By avoiding imports and sticking to American beef roasted in Omaha, they provide peace of mind to pet owners worried about recall headlines. Whether you are giving a Krunchie Tube to an older dog for joint support or a Shank Bone to a puppy that needs to chew, you are giving them a product that is safe, natural, and proudly made in the USA.
