The benefits of beef ears as a chew snack for your dog

Beef chews are very popular as dog chews, and for good reason. Our natural beef ears not only offer your four-legged friend a delicious treat, but are also rich in healthy proteins. These not only support healthy skin and coat, but also promote muscle development and give your dog vitality and strength. Additionally, beef ears can have a positive influence on your pet's vitamin and mineral intake and promote their overall well-being. Beef ears consist of a tough outer layer of skin surrounded by cartilage. While the outer layer of skin is easier to chew, the resilient cartilage layer offers a longer-lasting and more satisfying chewing experience. They are therefore both robust and flexible enough to gently strengthen your dog's chewing muscles. They also feature a low fat content of 2.4%, making them particularly suitable for dogs on a low-fat diet or those with weight problems.

How are beef ears made into a chew snack?

Our beef ear chew snack is, as the name suggests, made from the ears of cattle. Carefully selected, the earlobes are first removed and then thoroughly cleaned. They are then gently air-dried at 95°C. The long drying process removes moisture, increasing their shelf life. This process also preserves natural flavors and nutrients, preserving their delicious taste. The remaining texture is chewy and gristly, offering your dog a challenging and satisfying chewing experience.

At Masterfeed, you receive carefully selected and processed natural products of the highest quality, such as our beef ears, which are free from additives and flavor enhancers.

For which dogs are beef ears suitable as a chew snack?

Beef ears are generally suitable for all dogs who don't have a specific allergy to beef. Their texture makes them particularly suitable for dogs with a strong need to chew. Additionally, they are characterized by their low fat content, making them particularly suitable for dogs on a low-fat diet or those with weight problems.

Our variations – guaranteed to have something for everyone

We offer beef ears in two variations, with or without shell.

The main difference lies in their texture and flavor. Beef ears without shells have a smoother and more uniform texture, yet still offer a satisfying chew. They have a low fat content and a milder flavor. In contrast, beef ears with shells have a more bumpy texture, and the cartilaginous texture of the shell can provide additional benefits for dental hygiene and enhance the chewing experience. The shell also imparts a more intense flavor. Overall, both varieties offer a satisfying chewing experience for dogs; choose according to your dog's preferences and needs.
