Redbarn Collagen Sticks – Long-Lasting, Single-Ingredient Chews for Stronger Jaws and Healthier Skin

If you’re looking for a high-protein, long-lasting chew that dogs actually benefit from, the Redbarn Collagen Stick belongs in your cart. Available in two sizes—Large (11.5–12") and Extra-Large (23–24")—these single-ingredient chews are made from 100% beef-hide collagen, with no added fillers, flavors, or preservatives. Just pure, digestible collagen in a durable form that satisfies a dog’s natural chewing instinct while offering health benefits from the inside out.

We carry this chew at Sturgeon County Kennels because it checks all the right boxes: tough but not brittle, natural and digestible, low in odor, and a better alternative to rawhide. Whether your dog is a powerful chewer or just loves a good gnaw session after dinner, this chew delivers lasting engagement—and clean nutrition.

What Makes Collagen Better Than Rawhide?

Rawhide is cheap and common, but it’s also poorly digestible and often full of questionable additives. Collagen, by contrast, is a structural protein naturally found in animal connective tissue. Redbarn Collagen Sticks are made by gently cooking beef hide to extract its collagen content, then shaping it into a dense, chewy roll that softens as your dog works through it.

Compared to rawhide, collagen:

• Breaks down more easily in the digestive tract
• Supports healthy skin, coat, joints, and nails
• Lasts longer than many bully sticks or tendons
• Has a cleaner ingredient list with zero artificial junk

It’s the kind of chew we feel confident giving to dogs in our care, and the kind we recommend to our customers who want something tougher than a treat but safer than a bone.

Sizes for Different Dogs and Needs

Choose the right size based on your dog’s chewing habits and jaw strength:

• Large (11.5–12") – Great for medium to large breeds or light power chewers. A manageable size for dogs who enjoy steady chewing without rushing through it.
• Extra-Large (23–24") – Built for serious chewers, large breeds, or extended chew sessions. Ideal for dogs who tend to finish everything too fast or need extra engagement.

Both sizes feature the same high-quality beef collagen and are part of Redbarn’s grain-free, high-protein chew line.

Feeding & Safety Tips

Always supervise your dog when giving any chew. Provide access to fresh water, and discard any small or sharp fragments. Choose a size slightly larger than your dog’s mouth to reduce choking risk. Not recommended for puppies under 6 months or dogs with dental issues that make chewing difficult.

For safety and cleanliness, avoid feeding on carpets or upholstered furniture.
