EA No Hide Beef Chew Medium 7"

The "Earth Animal No-Hide Beef Chew Medium 7"" is a popular dog chew designed as a safe, healthy, and natural alternative to traditional rawhide.

Here's a breakdown of its key features:

• Rawhide Alternative: The primary selling point is that it is 100% rawhide-free. Unlike rawhide, which is often difficult for dogs to digest and can pose a choking hazard, this chew is highly digestible (up to 80% digestibility, according to the manufacturer).

• Key Ingredients: The chew is made with a simple and transparent list of seven natural ingredients:

  • Humanely Raised, Grass-Fed Beef (around 48%): The primary protein source.

  • Brown Rice Flour: Provides a base for the chew.

  • Agar-Agar: A plant-based gelatin that helps hold the chew together.

  • Organic Eggs: A source of protein and other nutrients.

  • Olive Oil: A source of healthy fats.

  • Banana Powder and Pineapple Stem (Bromelain): These natural ingredients provide flavor and digestive enzymes that aid in the breakdown of the chew.

• Health and Safety:

  • High Digestibility: The unique manufacturing process (hand-rolling, cooking, and drying in the USA) makes the chew easily digestible, which is a major safety benefit compared to traditional rawhide.

  • No Chemicals or Additives: The chews are free from bleach, synthetics, formaldehydes, and artificial preservatives.

  • Dental Health: The firm texture of the chew helps to scrape away plaque and tartar from a dog's teeth as they gnaw on it.

  • Low Fat and High Protein: The nutritional analysis shows a crude protein content of around 50-55% and a fat content of just 4-7%, making it a healthy choice.

  • Calorie Content: A medium chew contains approximately 181-263 kcal, depending on the source.

• Target Audience: The "Medium 7"" size is specifically recommended for large dogs weighing between 45-75 lbs (approximately 20.5-34 kg). It's crucial to choose a chew that is larger than your dog's mouth to prevent a choking hazard.

• Purpose: These chews are a long-lasting treat designed to provide mental stimulation, relieve boredom, and satisfy a dog's natural urge to chew. They are intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding and should always be given under supervision with fresh water available.
