Beef Hide Chips
Beef Hide Chips
Transparently sourced from 100% pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle, these naturally dried hides are the complete hide. They are NOT stripped, processed with toxic chemicals, or dyed like many industrially made rawhides.
*Price listed is per single item
- 100% Beef
- Single Origin
- Zero Fillers
The BIG Difference: Industrial rawhide, with the use of toxic chemicals, only uses a portion of the hide after the top portion has been removed for tanning. This allows dogs to chew and consume industrial rawhide too quickly, opening the door to blockages and choking concerns.
Mentally Stimulating: Our Beef Hide Chips are less durable than the Beef Hide Rolls, but they do require more mental energy to chew due to their odd shape! These long-lasting chews provide a healthy chewing option for even the most aggressive of chewers!
Made in the USA: We are proud to work with American family farms committed to raising animals in the best way possible. To learn more about Regenerative Agriculture, click here.

Sourcing
Everything we make is connected to family farms. When you purchase from Farm Hounds, you will always know the exact farm we worked with to make that product.
We maintain the connection to the farm through the entire process by placing the farm name on every product.
Availability
We choose to source from working farms which means animals may not mature on our timetable. At times, this means we do not have access to the products we want or need. However, we continue to identify small, true working farms that we can partner with to help minimize any shortages.
Storage
Keep in a cool/dry place. Our dehydrated products are free of preservatives and pesticides, and although it is very uncommon, bugs and mold (from added moisture) are your two culprits for causing trouble.
For chews and hides, especially after a chewing session, avoid sealing them in plastic or containers that can trap moisture. Allow the chew to air out and store in a cool/dry place.
For longer storage, the freezer can be a great way to keep our products fresh, and away from bugs and pests that might show interest.
Safety
All chewing should be supervised, especially when your dog is trying something for the first time. If a sharp edge or inappropriate chewing behavior is ever discovered, we recommend removing the chew for safety reasons.
Motivate
Although we see most dogs take to the hides right away, sometimes they just don’t know how to get started.
There are a couple things you can do to try and get them going, and once they start, they typically go back to it without any assistance.
Option 1: A Little Something
Put a little coconut oil or peanut butter on an edge. This will get them licking, which should turn into heavy duty chewing!
Option 2: Hide Some Treats
Take some treats (like our beef organ!) and place 1-2 pieces inside the roll. This gives the pup a “target” zone and they will instinctively know where to start working to try and access the treat. Once started, they should just end up enjoying the chewing!
Option 3: Soak An Edge
Soak one side in about 1/4in of water. This will soften up an edge, making it a more appealing chew, and gives the dog an easier starting point.
Option 4: Play
Use the hide as a toy with games like fetch, keep-away, and tug-of-war. The goal is to get their mouth making contact with the hide as much as possible, which will turn into chewing as they get familiar with the hide.
Chewing is one of the best mental and physical activities a dog can participate in!

Dental Health
Want to save your dog from dental disease, horrible breath, and teeth cleaning bills? Then give your dog a chew for around 10 minutes every day! Similar to humans, canine dental issues can impact the overall health of your pet. Not only is gnawing and chewing a great mental and physical exercise, but it cleans teeth and strengthens gums. Daily chewing is just like brushing teeth for humans!

Recommendations
Limit chewing to 15-20 minutes per session. Most dogs feel fully satisfied (endorphins get released in the brain) after short sessions of back-of-the-jaw gnawing. After chewing, store the hide out of sight and give again when you need the pup to have some down time.

This chip forces Georgie to modify her chewing style and slows her down a bit. The bone is easier for her to "go to town" on. The chip gives her more of a challenge. Long lasting and she loves the flavor. She reminds us every night around 7:30 pm that it is Bone-Bone Time!

Our dog is a huge chewer and loves both the hide rolls and the hide chips. I've decided I like the chips better though. They're more unique, I haven't seen chews of this shape sold elsewhere. It definitely does make her slow down somewhat which for us is a plus. I also feel better about choking hazard at the end of the chew since it's less bulky than the rolls. The picture is the chew after 3 30 minute sessions which is major with our chewer! And a brand new chip to compare.

My dog loves these!!
His most favorite are the hairy ones but he likes the non hairy ones just as much!
I see such joy on his face when I give him any FarmHounds chew!
The hides are a very durable chew, my dog is an average intensity chewer, the hides sometimes take him about a week to go through, I highly suggest them for longer lasting chews for any dog!

My dogs immediately start drooling when they see their monthly Farm Hounds delivery! The beef hide chips are long-lasting and I love that I'm giving them something that's natural and not full of toxic chemicals.
