Dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and types love to chew. By providing healthy options in bones and chew toys, owners can prevent this natural behavior from becoming a problem. Even older dogs who no longer want to chew on items around the house benefit from tooth and gum health when they have regular, safe chew toys.
Smart dog owners know that finding a safe alternative to rawhide chews for dogs is important for indoor pets. While raw bones are an excellent choice for outdoors, they are messy and impossible to provide when the dog is in the house. Even dogs outdoors enjoying a bone need to be supervised and the bone removed if it begins to splinter or when it gets small and could be swallowed. Additionally, bones need to be picked up frequently as they attract insects and can harbor dangerous bacteria.
Baked Pork Skin and Real Chicken
One of the best safe alternative to rawhide chews for dogs is a product made from baked pork skin. Unlike rawhide, which is very slow to digest in the body, the baked pork skin is 100% digestible, completely gone from the digestive tract within 24 hours or less.
By using the baking process, over 70% of the fat is removed, leaving a crispy, crunchy and great tasting pork skin to form into delicious chews. Real chicken, milk and peanut butter can then be used to add flavor and additional nutrients.
Best for Indoors and Outdoors
Two of the big advantages of these types of safe alternative to rawhide chews for dogs is they can be eaten indoors or out, and they are completely consumed.
This means dog owners do not have to worry about cleaning up any mess, and there is no need to pick up the chew and throw it out after the dog has finished. Instead, the dog enjoys every last bit of the chew, while still getting his or her cravings for great flavor and chewing action.
