Earth Animal No-Hide Chews, the Healthy Alternative to Rawhide
10th Oct 2022
If you're looking for a natural treat to feed your lovely pooch, the Earth Animal No-Hide might just be your thing! Read on to find out about this rawhide alternative.
Rawhide can have a very negative impact on animals, people, and the Earth. When it comes to our pets, the low digestibility of rawhide contributes to a greater risk of intestinal obstruction if large pieces are swallowed. Rawhide is also a by-product of the leather industry, where processing methods can contain toxic and harsh chemicals.
This is where No-Hide chews come into play! This chew has been developed to mimic the long-lasting, boredom-busting benefits of a traditional rawhide chew, but is made with only 7 natural ingredients and zero rawhide! Not only does it have higher digestibility than traditional rawhide, but it also promotes healthy teeth and gums, so is a great dental treat for your pooch as chewing massages gums and helps to clean teeth.
Made from 6 simple ingredients and 1 sustainably-sourced protein
No-Hide chews are made with just 6 simple ingredients and one sustainably sourced protein ingredient. These are responsibly sourced ingredients you would eat yourself. Brown rice flour, olive oil, eggs, banana, pineapple, agar-agar (natural vegetable gelatine) and 1 sustainably-sourced protein from the following: humanely-raised chicken, grass-fed beef, wild-caught salmon, free range venison and natural roasted peanuts! The protein constitutes at least 48% of the chew, and is made with real meat - no meal or by-product has been used!
Benefits of chewing No-Hide chews
Not only does chewing No-Hide Chews help relieve stress and anxiety and provide mental stimulation, it also has physical benefits too!
Maintain Dental Health!
Animals don't just have bad breath. It comes from periodontal disease, which occurs when plaque hardens and becomes tartar, and then that tartar builds up beneath the gum line and breaks down the tissue surrounding the teeth. The worst part about it is that this build-up of tissue damaging bacteria can spread beyond your animal's mouth and cause other significant health problems, including heart and kidney disease. Therefore, dental health isn't simply about having bright, shiny teeth or breath. It is about your animal's whole body health.
So, what can you do to help keep your animal's teeth and gums healthy? Just like for human dental health, the best thing to do is brush your animal's teeth every day. In addition to yearly veterinary visits, consider offering your pet treats specifically designed to help clean teeth. No-Hide Chews help support your dog's dental health.
Easily Digestible
No-Hide Chews are easily digestible which means happy tummies and healthy stools for your pooch!
Earth Animal have run independent studies that show that No-Hide Chews are 80% digestible after 8 hours, compared to rawhide that is only 18% digestible after the same amount of time.
Long Lasting
If your dog gets bored easily, these chews are sure to entertain them! Twice-baked for an extra-durable and tough texture, No-Hide chews are a great long-lasting treat that will keep your pooch busy.
Chews the Right Size
Dogs love to chew. We want to encourage our dogs to chew because of all these great advantages, but we want to make sure our furry friends are chewing safely. Make sure you check the Earth Animal Chew table below (or on the product label) to find out what size chew is suitable for your dog.
It's a good idea to know your dog's style, choose the right size chew, and never leave your dog unattended while he or she chews. Just follow these simple rules to ensure safe chewing:
1. Choose the right size
If in doubt, please size up. Puppies get their "license to chew" at 6 months old.
2. Supervise, supervise, supervise!
All chews, as well as food, snacks, toys, sticks and stones have the potential to cause choking. Never leave your pet unattended while chewing.
Happy chewing!
