Why Dogs Love Ear Chews
Headlining the canine treat world, ear chews are about far more than just mouthwatering taste. In fact, dogs have been munching on ears for…well…forever. For thousands of years, dogs have instinctively satisfied their chewing cravings with a timeless delight – chewing on animal ears.

Read on to discover why!
Chewing
First, dogs have an innate need to chew and ear chews provides a safe and satisfying outlet for this behaviour. Chomping on ear chews helps promote healthy teeth and gums, reduces plaque buildup and supports dental hygiene.
Mental Stimulation
Another reason why dogs love ear chews? Two words: mental stimulation. The act of chewing stimulates the mind, subsequently alleviating boredom and anxiety. It's like a puzzle and a treat rolled into one!
Positive Way to “Keep Busy”
Similarly, with their irresistibly tasty and chewy texture, ears serve as fantastic distractions for dogs. Whether during crate training, alone time, guests visiting the home, fireworks, thunderstorms, or moments of restlessness, ear chews keep pups occupied and content.
Reward
Looking for a special way to reward your furry friend? Ear chews are an excellent option. The combination of yummy taste, interesting texture, and the highly engaging chewing experience makes them an ideal reward for positive reinforcement after a training session or to say, “Good boy.”
Beef, Pork, Goat, Oh My…Which Ear Chew to Choose?
Cow Ear Chews: Beef Up the Fun!
For the beef-loving pooch, cow ears for dogs are the ultimate treat. These protein-packed chews are full of:
- Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids
- Chondroitin
Two questions Only One Treats frequently gets about cow ear chews are:
Yes.
Beef ear chews for dogs are not only delicious and enjoyable but also highly digestible, making them a safe and satisfying option that won't upset your dog's tummy.
No.
Actually, rawhide is made from the inner lining of an animal’s hide (hence the name). It’s cleaned and treated before cut into strips that are tough to digest. Conversely, cow ear chews are 100% natural – just cartilage and cow skin.
Pig Ear Chews: A Pig-a-licious Chew Fest
Oink-oink!
Pig ear chews are another timeless favorite among canines. Not too hard and not too soft, they promote healthy teeth and gums. Therefore, the answer to the question, “Are pig ears safe for dogs?” is yes, so long as they aren’t raw (uncooked meat can carry salmonella and E.coli bacteria).
Nutritionally speaking, pig ears for dogs also come with beneficial health benefits, such as:
- Phosphorus
- Calcium
Goat Ear Chews: A Novelty Worth Chomping For
If your dog craves something unique, look no further than goat ear chews. These lesser-known delicacies are a delightful surprise for adventurous canines. Goat ears are known for supporting joint health, thanks to:
- Glucosamine
- Chondroitin
Lamb Ear Chews: A Taste of Tender Delight
When it comes to delectable ear chews, lamb takes the centre stage. Lamb ears are available in two sizes (small and regular) so they are safe for dogs of all ages, including puppies. They are low fat, high protein, and a stellar source of:
- omega-3 fatty acids
- vitamin B
- glucosamine
- magnesium
- zinc
- selenium
