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

Product Information

If you want to live a healthy life, you need to buy quality no hide dog chew. If you care about your health or just want to make sure that everything you buy is of the highest quality, it is essential that you make informed decisions. The importance of selecting a high-quality product can be seen in the following examples: This pasteurized, aged cheese treat lasts well for most dogs and offers plenty of calcium for strong teeth and bones. Other ingredients like melatonin, chamomile, valerian root and passionflower induce relaxation and restful sleep. So they’re perfect to give before bed for a solid night’s sleep or to help you get through a thunderstorm or a vet appointment. (You'll need one chew per 25 pounds of your pet's body weight.) This product also earned the National Animal Supplement Council quality seal of approval and is made in a Good Management Practices (GMP) certified facility, indicating a high level of quality control. 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.

Results: The sample was analyzed using a universal animal DNA test, which identified it as Bos taurus. DNA from other animal species was also detected in relatively low abundance. 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. Two different labs confirmed beef in two varieties of No-Hide Chews that did not include beef in the ingredient listing; DNA analysis appears to confirm Dr. Kallenberger’s analysis that the treats are “rawhide split material”“from a large animal skin”– cow skin…cow hide…beef raw hide. 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.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. 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. When people hold chews in water, IMO they are testing for dissolution not digestion and I find it can be a valid test. She is a very aggressive chewer and I wanted something that she would chew on and not be able to eat as she has done with other “edible” products I have tried. Before rawhide was found to be so bad; I used it for years with my dogs in the past. I used the “pressed rawhide 10″ -12″” as it really lasted a long time and they would gnaw on it for months.

In the end, I think we’re going to find out that Earth Animal was duped by “someone” as it’s difficult to believe they would knowingly market these “No Hides” as being rawhide free if they thought for a second it contained rawhide. Some may say, “well, if they didn’t know, they should have”.. I say look at the thousands and thousands of customers, retailers vets and distributors experienced with the No Hides in some way and none of us suspected a thing. If they did know, well no need to comment further..The longest chews are labeled as 9 ounces (255 grams) but a few were are labeled as 4.9 ounces ( 255 grams) Obviously 255 grams can not be both 4.9 ounces and 9 ounces, 4.9 ounces is ~139 grams. The chew weights varied. The lowest weighted chew was 109 grams and the highest 155 grams. None met label claim of 255 grams.
