Jack&Pup Half Pig Ears, 18 Pack, 100% Natural

When you open this 18-count pack of Jack&Pup pig ears for dogs, choose a portion that suits your dog's size and chewing habits, and stay with the dog while it chews. Each piece is a pig ear cut down to about half the length of a whole one, and the manufacturer slow-dries the pig ear so it keeps thick cartilage and a chewy texture. Keep fresh drinking water available too.

Portion and supervision while your dog chews

Jack&Pup gives three directions for use. Work out how much of the pack suits your dog based on its size and how it chews. Keep an eye on the dog during chewing. Have fresh drinking water available. The instructions do not set a fixed number of ears per day, so the portion is left to the owner.

What the ears are made of

Pig ear is the only ingredient, and it is the whole of the recipe: F9 lists the treats as single ingredient, and the pack states 100% pig ear. The pigs are free-range and were raised without added hormones or antibiotics. Nothing was added for colour, preservation or bulk, so there are no artificial colours, no preservatives and no fillers in the bag.

The ear itself brings protein, iron, zinc, magnesium, copper and vitamin B12 as nutrients that occur naturally in it, and chondroitin also occurs naturally in the cartilage.

How do the half ears compare with whole pig ears?

Each treat is half an ear rather than a full one, which makes it a smaller piece than a whole pig ear. The cartilage running through it is thick and the bite is chewy, and the slow-drying process is how the manufacturer prepares the ear.

With 18 half ears in the pack, a dog that gets part of an ear at a time has a supply to work through, and a larger dog can be given more than one piece.
