"The pig ears were of great quality. Not too oily. We put these on auto-ship, which we never do with other products"

β€” James

"When pulled out of the bag, the smell was unbelievably disgusting. They smelled so bad when I threw them away. "

Bottom Line

If your dog loves pig ears and you are willing to take a chance, these are a good option. It’s a bit of a gamble, but the majority of dogs seem to love the taste and size. If your dog is prone to digestive issues, this may not be the chew for them. Be prepared for the strong smell, regardless of the brand.
