Just like pig ears, they are mostly cartilage and high in collagen. A huge hit with most dogs but some dogs need to be enticed to try these as often dogs have never seen fur on their food. You can break off/cut off a small piece for them. This gives your dog a taste which usually entices them into it. They are good for teeth cleaning due to the toughness of the lamb skin and the fur’s polishing/cleaning abilities. For all dogs of all ages. A good inside treat – not too messy.

Why feed fur/benefits of fur:Fur is a great source of fibre and aids in good digestive health in the following ways: not fully breaking down so it brushes its way through the digestive tract, thereby cleaning away any food built up over time; cleaning away food build up, reduces the likelihood of a sluggish digestive system. A sluggish digestive system can become a breeding ground for yeasts and other fungi; cleansing the digestive tract, aids the body in absorbing nutrients; helping prevent worms by brushing away worms and eggs in the digestive system; helping to keep teeth clean - fur is a part of a dog’s natural toothbrush – it polishes their teeth; being a great source of fibre.

The fur, bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments of prey animals also function as fibre in the intestine of dogs.
