About this product
A proper chew, with one simple ingredient.
Whole pork ears, hand sorted for size and thickness. Pick a pack of 12, 50 or 100.
Give your dog a whole pork-ear chew with no rawhide or added ingredients. These thick-cut ears are hand sorted and average about 39 g each.
Choose 12 ears to try the range, or a 50- or 100-ear pack for a household that gets through more. Each pack arrives in a resealable bag.
The ears are irradiated and samples are tested by an independent laboratory for salmonella, coliform, yeast and mould. Always supervise chewing and remove small pieces.
Most chews on a supermarket shelf are rawhide, and rawhide is not really a food. It is a leather by-product that has been cleaned, pressed and shaped, and plenty of owners have decided they would rather not.
A pig ear is the opposite kind of product. It is one part of one animal, dried, and that is the whole ingredients list. No bone, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones.
Size is the thing people notice first. These are whole ears rather than off-cuts, hand sorted so the thin ones are left out, and the average comes in around 39 grams. A bigger, thicker ear takes longer to get through, which is the entire point of buying a chew.
They are also less greasy than a lot of what is sold, and they do not have much of a smell. That matters more than it sounds when the bag lives in a kitchen cupboard.
Pig ears are high in fat, so they are a treat rather than a meal, and they belong alongside a balanced diet rather than in place of one. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, ask your vet before you start.
Give one under supervision, and take it away once it is small enough to swallow.

Three pack sizes. The x12 Pack holds twelve ears, the x50 Bulk Pack holds fifty and the x100 Jumbo Pack holds a hundred.
Which pack should I buy?
The x12 suits one dog trying them. The x50 is for a household with more than one dog, or for a dog that gets one regularly. The x100 is the bulk buy.
How big are the ears?
They are whole ears rather than off-cuts, hand sorted so the thin ones are left out. The average is around 39 grams.
How many calories are in one ear?
Roughly 70 kcal an ear.
Is there any added salt?
No. No salt is added.
Is there rawhide in them?
No. These are whole pig ears. Rawhide is a different product entirely.
Is there bone in them?
No bone, and nothing synthetic. The ingredients list is one line: whole pork ear.
How long does one ear last?
For a smaller dog, under about 9 kg (20 lb), one ear is usually 30 to 45 minutes of work. A determined chewer will be faster.
Are they tested?
Yes. Every run is irradiated, then a random sample from random lots is sent to a third-party laboratory and tested for salmonella, coliform, yeast and mould.
Do they smell?
Less than most. They are drier and less greasy than a lot of what is sold, which is what people notice when the bag lives in a kitchen cupboard.
How should I store them?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool dry cupboard. Stored that way they stay good for months.
What is the bag like?
A heavy gauge resealable bag.
Can I give one to a puppy?
Size the chew to the dog and stay in the room. Ask your vet about your own puppy before you start.
Should I supervise?
Yes. Give one under supervision and take it away when it gets small enough to swallow.
Are they suitable for a dog with a sensitive stomach?
Pig ears are high in fat. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, ask your vet before you start.
Are they grain free?
There is no grain in them. There is nothing in them but pig ear.
Are they a meal?
No. They are a complementary treat and belong alongside a balanced diet rather than in place of one.
How many can I give a day?
That is a question for your vet, because it depends on the dog's size and the rest of its diet.
Where do the ears come from?
They are a pork by-product, dried whole. If you need the country of origin for a specific batch, email us and we will check the batch.
Are they irradiated?
Yes, and then sampled and laboratory tested afterwards.
What is the difference between the packs?
Only the count. The ears are the same ears.
Do you sell half ears or slivers?
Not on this store. We sell whole ears in three pack sizes.
Do they come in a plain bag?
They come in the branded resealable bag.
How long do they keep once opened?
Press the seal closed and keep the bag dry. They are a dried product, so the enemy is moisture rather than time.
Can I freeze them?
There is no need to. Sealed and dry in a cupboard is enough.
Do you deliver across Canada?
Yes. Delivery is $25 and free on orders of $75 or more.
How long does delivery take?
Five to seven days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time. Delivery time varies by location.
Can I return them?
Food is sealed for hygiene, so an opened pack cannot be returned. Our voluntary policy is additional to applicable consumer rights: returns within 15 days of purchase, with a non-refundable $39 per order packing and handling fee on a change of mind. If something arrives damaged or is not what was described, contact us and we will cover it.
Can I cancel an order?
Yes, until it ships. Most orders ship within 24 hours, so contact us within 12 hours. A 12.5% service and processing fee applies to a cancellation.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form and tell us the quantity you need.
Who do I contact about an order?
Email the team. Most emails are answered within one business day.

Choosing your pack
A whole pig ear gives your dog something to chew without rawhide or added flavourings. An ear has an average weight of 39 g and approximately 70 kcal per ear. Natural shape and size vary.
The 12-ear pack is the smallest option. Larger households can choose 50 or 100 ears in a resealable bag. Pack size changes the quantity supplied, not the ingredient.
What is in the bag
Whole pork ears, with no bone or added salt. The ears are hand sorted, thick cut, grain free and gluten free. They have a natural scent; chewing time varies with the dog. Store the resealed bag somewhere cool and dry.
The ears are irradiated, then a sample from production lots is sent to a third-party laboratory for testing for salmonella, coliform, yeast and mould.
Before you offer a chew
Supervise your dog throughout chewing and remove pieces that could be swallowed whole. Wash your hands after handling pet treats. These are treats to complement food, not a complete diet or a dental treatment. Ask your vet about suitability, especially for a puppy, a dog with a sensitive stomach, a pork allergy or a restricted diet.
