What are beef ears?
Beef ears are the gently dried ears of a cow, often left natural with fur. The fur is intentional: it acts like a natural brush for the gut and supports healthy digestion.
Why are beef ears so popular?
Beef ears are a little softer than beef head skin and are therefore easy for almost any dog to chew. They're single-protein beef, grain-free and free from additives. As a calorie-conscious snack for in between meals, they're a safe bet.
Beef ears with or without fur?
With fur, they support natural digestion and can help with elimination. Without fur, they're a little milder. Both versions are natural and free from additives.
