Pork Chews for Dogs

Are pork chews healthy for dogs?

Pig-based chews are a great alternative if your dog suffers from a beef or chicken protein allergy. Pork chews come in various forms, including pork ears, weasands, pizzle sticks, bones, and rawhide.

Are pig skins safe for my dog to eat?

Pig skin is highly digestible and flavorful. These chews start tough, but as the saliva penetrates the chew, it softens and scrapes away plaque, stimulates gums, and generates healthy saliva.

Are pork ears the same as rawhide?

A pork ear chew is not rawhide. It is the full actual ear of a pig and contains cartilage and collagen, both excellent for your dog's diet. Pig ears are a higher calorie count than other treats, so always offer them in moderation to match your dog's nutritional needs. In addition, they are more digestible than rawhides, making them a popular choice for dogs.
