a husky chewing a trachea chew in the sunny backyard grass

  • Awesome daily chew for light and medium chewers!
  • Great interactive chew for tug-of-war, hide-n-seek, and fetch!
  • One of the best low-fat chews you can get!
  • Hair makes dogs more excited to chew/play!
  • Natural Biome: These ears come from cows that spend their entire life pastured. Although each ear is washed before dehydration, seeing elements of grass, dirt, and other natural debris is common. Products with hair also retain some of their natural animal scent (which dogs love), so you can expect a cow ear to smell somewhat like a cow!
  • Can dogs eat hair? Yes! Hair is actually very beneficial to the digestive tract (think of it like a pipe cleaner). It also delivers good levels of fiber and manganese! As humans, it throws us off, but your pup is a carnivore; it doesn't slow them down, it actually excites them! A dog's nose doesn't miss much, and having hair left on a chew gives them more smells to work with! Additionally, it feeds their canine drives by allowing them to "de-fluff" and pick at the chew before gnawing it down!

Sourced and 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.

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.

Safety & Supervision

All chewing should be supervised, especially when your dog is trying something for the first time. When giving chews that have dehydrated bone, you want to make sure the dog has the jaw strength and patience to chew/crush the bones before consuming. If a sharp edge or inappropriate chewing behavior is ever discovered, we recommend removing the chew for safety reasons.

    Not "highly digestible" for my dog

    I bought two ears for both of my dogs. One of them showed no interest, but my other dog loved it. She’s an avid chewer, and I was looking for something softer than beef hides. At first, it seemed like a great choice.

    Unfortunately, things took a bad turn. In the middle of the night, she started vomiting hair—not just once, but repeatedly, until it was all out of her system. This was especially surprising since she doesn’t have a sensitive stomach and usually handles chews well.

    I’ve loved all the other products I’ve purchased from Farm Hounds, but this one didn’t work for us. Now I’m stuck with beef ears that I can’t even give away. Knowing how much discomfort it caused my dog, I wouldn’t want to risk another dog going through the same thing.

    Glad to have found these!

    My boy LOVES these and savors them so they last a little longer for us than they possibly should. They're a great size and quality.

    What is this strange thing?

    Ay first my dog did not know what to do with it. He would lick it and then look at me lol. Once he figured out he was allowed to chew it, he went to town. 😄

    Mooooorific Chew

    My dogs Clover and Sage love the cow ears with hair! I love that they get an awesome source of fiber and a healthy outlet to “defluff” something while cleaning their teeth.

    Sage (left in photo) is a heavy chewer and even these last about 30 ish minutes! (That’s a long time for him). Clover had hers for almost 2 hours she has become a very soft chewer now that she’s turned 9.

    To say my dogs loved these is an understatement

    Such high quality and clean products. My dogs literally dragged the package of these out of the box!
