Welcome to a real chew (with hair)!

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 and hair color can vary based on which cow it comes from

What makes our Beef Hide Chips (Hairy) unique?

  • 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!
  • Natural Biome: These hides come from cows that spend their entire life pastured. Although each hide 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 hide 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!
  • 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.

How to 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.

  • 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.

    Dogs love them!

    Both my dogs go nuts for the hide chips. I buy the large ones and cut them down myself to save a buck (it's not easy to cut... so be warned). They last longer than rolled chews for us.

    Great customer service

    I ordered one of these with my dogs usual beef ear that he LOVES. The chip that came was one that didn’t have hair! I wasn’t upset at all; accidents happen. I sent off a short email about it and the same day a replacement was in the mail. Customer service was so quick and easy.

    We love Farm Hounds!

    My Doberman loves these!

    The shape is perfectly unique, and it takes her several chew sessions to finish! She loves to rip off layers of the hide and fur lol.

    My dog’s favorite!

    These chews became a quick favorite for my dog! She loves them and she gets so excited any time we get a package, because there is a chance it will be from Farm Hounds! We’ve tried both the hide rolls and chips, and she loves them both. She’s such a fan that we have an order on auto-ship so that she’ll always have one around. We give it to her for about 20 minutes at a time and it lasts for days!

    Our pup has NEVER loved a treat more (and he LOVES treats!)!

    Oh wow....what to say about these hairy chips?! I got them on a whim, especially after reading about the benefits of the hair for dogs. Our dog is an equal-opportunity treat lover, but I have NEVER seem him react like he did with these! He was running around, tossing it in the air, carrying it everywhere with him, and definitely not letting us take it away after the 20-minute chew session. It was the cutest thing we have ever seen. A 200% winner in our book!

We love that he turned it into his own little celebration, running around and making it the star of his day! It sounds like you've found his ultimate favorite!
