As pet owners, we all want the best for our furry friends and an essential aspect of a dog's diet is the type of treats and chews they consume. Natural, hairy, and animal-based treats and chews can be an excellent choice for keeping dogs happy and healthy.
Supports Dental Health
One of the key benefits of natural chews is their ability to promote dental hygiene. Chewing on items like hairy rabbit ears or cow ears helps scrape away plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and bad breath. The natural bumpy textures of these chews act like a toothbrush, keeping those canine teeth clean.
Provides Essential Nutrients
Unlike highly processed treats, animal-based chews are rich in natural nutrients. Hairy chews, for instance, contain essential fibres that aid digestion and act as a natural dewormer by helping clear out intestinal parasites. They contain no preservatives, additives or filler ingredients because they are naturally dehydrated.
Fulfils Natural Instincts
Dogs are natural scavengers and carnivores, and chewing is an inherent behaviour. Providing animal-based chews satisfies their need to gnaw, which can help prevent destructive chewing. Hairy chews, like rabbit ears or beef skin, mimic what dogs would consume in the wild, making for a more natural and enriching experience.
Long-Lasting Stress Reduction
Natural, single-ingredient chew treats are longer lasting as they have been dried or dehydrated creating a tough texture. Chewing is a natural stress reliever for dogs. When they chew, it stimulates the release of endorphins, which help reduce anxiety and keep them calm.
Choosing natural, hairy, and animal-based treats and chews for your dog is a fantastic way to ensure they receive nutritious, engaging, and beneficial snacks. We stock a range of natural hairy and animal-based dried products, always covered and wrapped in brown paper bags, ready for your dog to taste test.
We understand that offering these types of treats are not for everyone, we have plenty of others to choose from!
