We have the essential info on why you should choose rawhide dog chews, as we believe they are a great choice for your pet.

When considering what kind of treat to give your dog, as an owner, what do you consider?

You may think about the health aspects of the snack, the quality of the ingredients, whether it is organic or not, and most of all whether your dog likes them!

As a pet parent you are responsible for what your dog eats.

We all know that dogs will eat almost anything and love lots of things which aren’t necessarily good for them, and even sometimes harmful, such as chocolate.

Proper food should make up the majority of his daily diet, and by that we mean a balanced healthy diet of dog suitable food with a meager 10% of his intake left for snacks.

Did you know that you can actually reduce your dog’s life expectancy if you rely too heavily on snacks; just imagine that you may be cutting years off his life by giving the wrong kind of treats.

Many health experts argue that a diet free of processed foods is one of the healthiest to have; just like for humans could benefit your dog.

Of all healthy snacks on the market, rawhide chews must come in the top five in the health stakes as they are a totally natural snack, without heavy processing.

In the old days dogs would have devoured hide, hoof, and animal bones, so as you can see the rawhide chew is quite an appropriate snack, as it is made from beefhide cut into strips - how much more natural can you get?

Fortunately you don’t have to carve up rawhide by yourself, as pet food makers have done it for you, which thankfully is a clean, economical and easy solution.

Some lesser snacks contain unpleasant additions such as glues, fillers and so on, but Beefeaters for one, are a company which pride themselves on using only natural ingredients, so rest assured your snack will be a guilt free one.

Dogs love to chew, it’s a natural instinct for them just like breathing that’s why rawhide chews are so popular with our canine friends, as well as having such a delicious meaty flavor, they have the added benefit of helping to remove tartar.

If you add the benefits of cleaning the teeth and the gums, rawhide chews become the snack of choice, as better dental hygiene has many many benefits including fewer cavities, sweeter breath and fewer vet bills.

Beefeaters Rawhide Chew Sticks come in four delicious, mouthwatering flavors; Beef, Chicken, Lamb and Rice and Peanut Butter.

At 5 inches long, they are an ideal size for your dog to take in his mouth and chew to his heart’s content.
