Earth Animal No-Hide Chicken Chews 7" 2-Pack

Product Information

The independent store employees were interested in the information and were very concerned. The owner of the store, who has said rawhide will never be in any of her stores and heavily markets this product, has so far said she believes in the product. I see it as she is emotionally invested in the company and can’t see things objectively.

The fat content is reported to be 5%, 4 grams in my chew. Salmon is considered a fatty fish. From the USDA nutrient database dried chum salmon is ( rounded to the nearest percent) 62% protein 14% fat and 22% water. Dried Egg is 48% protein and 43% fat. and oil would be 100% fat. So as not to exceed the reported fat content I can’t use a lot of Salmon, 25 grams dried salmon yields 3.5 grams fat unless it is some type of defatted Salmon and I can’t use much egg or oil either or the fat content is exceeded. THERE'S NO HIDING IT: No-Hide Chews are easier on your pet’s stomach than commercial raw hide. Our cat & dog chew treats have been tested annually for digestibility and the results are clear: No-Hide surpasses the competition each time.This is the description of the known rawhide : “The material appears to be composed of streams of eosinophilic material (no observable nuclei) with scattered regions of relatively distinct margins. The material is birefringent using polarized light. The diameter of this material varies (random sampling of measurements 27 um, 28 um, 30 um, and 33 um). Interspersed within the material are multiple clear spaces (artifact of processing vs. empty space within material).” Comments: “The filling material appears to be a mixture of animal product (identification of skeletal muscle) mixed with a filler product( plant based material?)” As a final step, rawhide is then preserved with various chemicals such as chromium salts, which when exposed in high doses can have long-term health effects. It is so toxic that government regulations have forced the closure of tanneries in the US and Europe. The workers who are exposed to these chemicals, some as young as 10 years old in certain countries, risk severe side effects from exposure. This includes irritation to the mouth, airways, eyes, and skin, digestive problems, kidney or liver damage, long-term cancer, and reproductive problems. Unfortunately, much of the wastewater from these processes also flows into local waterways and soil. Ditching rawhide and opting for alternatives is a small but important step in reducing the demand and slowing its harmful impact on people and our planet. Well that’s weird isn’t it?? The chews is white…yet except for the rice flour of which there is very little in our chew recipe the ingredients are colored. How can the chew be white when the ingredients to make it are all colored? This isn’t making sense.

PROMOTES HEALTHY TEETH: Cow Ears offer stimulation of the gums, and teeth which release natural brain chemicals which produce enjoyment for your dog. These dog chews help maintain canine dental health by removing plaque with a tasty treat, while allowing your dog to use every part of their mouth to chew, and floss away tartar. Low-quality meals typically have an unpleasant flavor and texture, whereas their higher-quality counterparts taste better and provide more nutrients. Can I get a no hide dog chew for a reasonable price? As to what FOODGUY said above – Has Anyone asked EA how their No Hide Chews compare, digestibility wise, with Salix’s DIGESTEEZE brand 99% digestible rawhides made in South America? Or 8 in 1’s Better Belly Brand Digestible Rawhides made in Vietnam? http://www.salix-llc.com http://www.dingobrand.com/Products/Better-Belly.aspx Other sizes had problems as well. For the middle sized chew, labeled 85 grams, weights varied from 61-74 grams. The smallest size reported at 51 grams varied from 38 grams to 71 grams.ANOTHER WAY: We are dedicated to enhancing and preserving quality of life for animals, people, and the Earth.
