Product Information

You'll end up spending more on repairs or replacements for low-quality goods in the long term. The initial investment in higher-quality goods will pay off in the long run. Comments: “The filling material appears to be a mixture of animal product (identification of skeletal muscle) mixed with a filler product( plant based material?)” Independent testing has found that, on average, No-Hides exceed the digestibility of rawhide chews.* This means No-Hide chews are better for sensitive tummies and, thus, better for our planet. Here’s why: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers our pet’s waste to be hazardous to the environment. When our pets consume highly digestible chews and treats, they generate significantly less poop that contaminates local waterways. Selecting sustainably sourced, highly digestible goodies for our pets is one way we can help preserve a healthier future for animals, people, and the Earth.

Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs, so offering dog chews is a healthy alternative to chewing your shoes, the rug or the windowsills. Dog chews help clean teeth, exercise jaws, relieve stress, and prevent boredom. Many also include vitamins or other essential nutrients to aid your dog’s healthy digestion, joints, and immune response. But it’s hard to choose which variety and brand is best for your dog. I don’t know what changed with the pressed rawhide, but Nellie learned to get small & large pieces of rawhide out of them that she could swallow! I tried several brands, but all seemed to fall apart within a day! So, rawhide was out! Provided to TruthaboutPetFood.com was an analysis report from “Waldo Kallenberger, Ph.D. Leather Chemist”. Full report linked below. Excerpts from the report… So what next.. I’ve already got hundreds invested into this and I’m going to take it farther. I’ll send out a labeled rawhide chew and have it processed as the No Hide was so a direct comparison can be made. Then depending on cost have specialized stains run. We all should b able to re-create this in our own homes as these ingredients are simple to obtain at the grocery store – I just have to figure out how to get it all perfectly white and to remain so tough, even if boiled……..

This piece was written by Lorraine Wilde who has had at least two dog companions in her home for the past 35 years. When researching these brands, Wilde evaluated the type and quality of the ingredients, hardness and longevity of each chew, the company’s research and development, and their business ethics. Lorraine also holds a Master’s degree in environmental science. She is a firm believer that consumers can make healthy, informed and environmentally conscious choices to protect their pets and our plan. The only downsides for us is that they are expensive and the price online is the same as at my local store. Also, that they can’t be left outside nor buried because they get super mushy. Lastly, my dog doesn’t finish them after he gets the tasty meat out out of the middle. The treat removed from Dumplin’s airway is being analyzed now. When known, those results will be shared.Ingredients do NOT include a beef ingredient – yet… DNA analysis found the majority of the product analyzed as “Bos taurus”– beef.

So you can imagine our excitement when we met Earth Animal and they Natural Dog Chew No-Hide that we had to share it with you our customers. PROMOTES HEALTHY TEETH: All Amazing Dog Treats products offer stimulation of the gums, and teeth which release natural brain chemicals which produce enjoyment for your dog. Our treats and 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 with all natural single ingredient dog treats. 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. Earth Animal – and every other chew manufacturer – has a responsibility to ascertain that the product they market is as advertised and should detail all ingredients, including base materials, added flavors or basting. If they are a stand up company they won’t default to the “we’ve been victimized, too” defense so rampant in the Industry should their product turn out to be misrepresented. To help you decide how to proceed with your investigation of the no hide dog chew, here are some questions to consider:Recently what came to mind is if there are problems in one area of a company there may be problems in other areas as well. I went to several stores that sells No Hide Products. I took my kitchen scale with me and started weighing the No Hide products. In nearly all cases the product did not meet label weight. When selecting a dog chew, pet parents need to consider the hardness, durability, longevity, size and ingredients and opt for those that have earned the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal of Approval,” recommends "Petrendologist" Charlotte Reed, host of the syndicated radio show The Pet Buzz.
