Anco Naturals Hairy Cow Ears 3pk

Anco Naturals Hairy Cow Ears – Pack of 3

Whole cow ears air-dried with the hair left on, three to a pack. The hair is the difference between these and an ordinary cow ear: it passes through undigested and acts as roughage, which is the basis of the traditional claim that hairy chews help move parasites through the gut. It also makes the ear noticeably scratchier to chew, so it lasts longer than a shaved one.

Of everything in this listing, hairy cow ears carry the highest protein and among the lowest fat: Anco declare 78.4% protein against just 5.7% fat, with crude ash at 11.2%. That makes them one of the few large, satisfying chews a dog on a weight plan can reasonably be given.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% beef, air-dried with the hair left on the ear.
• 78.4% protein and only 5.7% fat — high protein, genuinely lean.
• Hair acts as natural roughage as it passes through the gut.
• Rich in chondroitin from the ear cartilage.
• A flat, flexible chew rather than a hard one, so kinder to teeth than horn.
• Three ears per pack, making portioning straightforward.

Suitable For

• Dogs on a controlled-fat diet or a weight-loss plan.
• Medium and large dogs that get through a cow ear in a sitting.
• Dogs that need something to chew but cannot manage hard horn or hoof.
• Owners wanting a natural roughage chew rather than a supplement.
• Not enough chew time for a determined power chewer — the Anco Naturals Giant Camel Braid lasts far longer.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, to be used as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• One ear at a time rather than the whole pack, reducing the main meal to allow for it.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: 100% beef.
• Analytical constituents: protein 78.4%, fat 5.7%, crude ash 11.2%.

Care & Caution

• Anco require that pets are supervised at all times while consuming this product.
• A cow ear softens as it is chewed and a greedy dog may try to swallow the last half folded over — take it away at that point.

• Ensure fresh drinking water is available during and after the chew.
