Cow ears for dogs are a natural, single-ingredient chew made from 100% cow ears, sourced from grass-fed, free-range cattle in the USA. Ours are made in a USDA certified and inspected facility, with no additives, preservatives or artificial flavors.
Are cow ears good for dogs?
For most dogs, yes. Cow ears are mostly cartilage, so they are lighter and less dense than a bully stick or a bone. That makes them a good middle ground: chewier and more satisfying than a soft treat, but easier on teeth than hard chews. They suit puppies 3 months and older, adult dogs and seniors, and the crunchy texture gives teeth a light scrub as your dog chews.
Cow ears vs pig ears
Cow ears are generally larger and leaner than pig ears, which tend to be fattier. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or you are watching their weight, cow ears are usually the better choice.
How long does a cow ear last?
A cow ear is a shorter chew than a bully stick. Small dogs may work on one for a while, while large dogs often finish one in a few minutes. For a longer session, try braided bully sticks or Himalayan yak chews.
Feeding tips
- Introduce cow ears slowly if your dog has not had them before.
- Supervise and take away the last small piece.
