Critical Warnings

All dogs will react differently. Would recommend other options and allow stomachs to settle before feeding them again. Uchena pig ears were poorly taken by dogs.

"These Pig Ears are great. Love that they are USA products and don't have a terrible smell. I just wish you could order half pig ears. I have dachshunds, including a very small mini and you can't cut them. Other than that the dogs just Love Them. Always 5 Stars!"
