Pigs Ears

Description

Collection only,  £1.00 each 

Pigs Ears are 100% natural, single-ingredient dog chews made entirely from dried pork cartilage. They are highly popular in the UK as a traditional, long-lasting alternative to raw hide. 

• Texture: Hard, tough, and rubbery outer skin.
• Structure: A pliable layer of real cartilage sandwiched between thin skin layers.
• Flavor: High-intensity, natural pork aroma and rich taste that dogs find highly palatable.
• Variability: Sizes and colors vary naturally per piece. Large pieces or smaller “bites” are widely available. 

• High Protein: Typically between 58% and 68% crude protein, aiding in muscle repair.
• High Fat: Typically contains 20% to 32% crude oils and fats, making them nutrient-dense.
• Essential Nutrients: Naturally rich in glucosamine and chondroitin (derived from the cartilage) to support joint health.
• Free From: Most UK variants are grain-free, gluten-free, and processed without any chemical additives or preservatives. 

• Natural Toothbrush: The intense chewing action scrapes away plaque and tartar buildup while stimulating saliva.
• Mental Stimulation: Chewing satisfies natural instincts, helps relieve boredom, and releases calming endorphins.
• Highly Digestible: Unlike rawhide, pork cartilage breaks down safely in the canine digestive tract 
  Important Safety & Feeding Tips
  Because pigs’ ears are naturally rich and calorie-heavy, they should be fed in moderation—typically no more than one per day for large dogs, or a few times a week for smaller breeds. They are generally recommended for puppies over 12 to 16 weeks old. Always supervise your dog while chewing to prevent them from gulping down large, unchewed pieces that could cause a choking hazard
