Kangaroo Ears for Dogs

Description

Natural Kangaroo Ears for Dogs

Kangaroo Ears are one of the more unusual natural dog chews in our range. Made from 100% Australian kangaroo ears with the fur left on, they provide dogs with a combination of fur, skin, cartilage and meat rather than the uniform texture found in many conventional dog treats.

The ears are dried to retain a degree of natural flexibility, giving them a bendy, chewy texture rather than becoming completely rigid. This makes them an interesting option for dogs that enjoy pulling, chewing and working at their treats.

100% Single Ingredient Kangaroo Ears

There is nothing complicated about these treats. The ingredient is simply: 100% kangaroo ears, fur on.

There are no added preservatives, colours or artificial additives.

Kangaroo is an Australian native protein and these ears are a particularly novel way to offer it as a natural chew.

What are Kangaroo Ears like to chew?

Kangaroo ears have several different textures. The outer fur, skin, cartilage and remaining meat provide a more varied chewing experience than a simple piece of dried meat.

The ears are naturally flexible rather than hard and brittle. This means they can bend and fold as a dog chews them, while the dog has to work at tearing and chewing pieces away.

They are smaller than typical beef or lamb ears, which makes them a useful option for dogs that find larger ears too much to handle.

Are Kangaroo Ears suitable for small dogs?

Kangaroo Ears can be suitable for dogs of many sizes, provided the individual dog is supervised while eating.

Smaller dogs may spend quite some time carrying, chewing and working on an ear, while larger dogs will generally consume them more quickly.

As with any chew, choose an appropriate size for your dog and supervise them while they are eating. Remove any small pieces that could present a choking risk.

Kangaroo ears with fur

The fur is intentionally left on these ears rather than being removed. This gives the treat its distinctive appearance and adds another natural texture for dogs to experience.

For owners who feed a variety of natural animal-based treats, fur-on products can provide an interesting form of enrichment and a more natural-looking chew.

The amount of meat on an ear is relatively modest compared with a product such as kangaroo jerky, so Kangaroo Ears should not be viewed primarily as a high-protein treat. Their appeal is in the combination of chewing, texture and natural animal components.

Kangaroo Ears are a chew, not a training treat

Because dogs need time to chew through an ear, these are not designed to be quick training rewards.

Instead, they are better suited to occasions when you want to give your dog something to chew, investigate and work on.

They can be particularly useful when you want to vary your dog’s selection of natural chews beyond bones, tendons and dried meat.

How should Kangaroo Ears be stored?

Keep Kangaroo Ears in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Because they are a naturally dried product, keeping them dry is important for maintaining their quality.

Always supervise your dog when feeding any chew or treat and provide fresh drinking water.

Kangaroo Ears FAQs

What are Kangaroo Ears for dogs?

Kangaroo Ears are natural dog chews made from whole Australian kangaroo ears with the fur left on. They have a flexible, chewy texture and provide dogs with something to work on rather than being a quick-to-eat treat.

Are Kangaroo Ears single ingredient?

Yes. Our Kangaroo Ears contain 100% kangaroo ears, fur on, with no added preservatives or additives.

Are Kangaroo Ears suitable for small dogs?

They can be suitable for dogs of different sizes because kangaroo ears are smaller than most beef, pigs or lamb ears. However, individual dogs vary, so always choose an appropriate chew and supervise your dog while eating.

Do Kangaroo Ears have fur on them?

Yes. The fur is intentionally left on the ears. This is part of the natural product and contributes to the distinctive texture of the chew.

Are Kangaroo Ears a training treat?

No. Kangaroo Ears are better considered a natural chew or enrichment treat. They take considerably longer to eat than small training treats and are intended to give dogs something to chew and work on.

They are a novel, low fat, high value treat, that is also 100% natural, unlike many carb laden “treats” out there.
