updog Beef Head Skin with Fur: Chew Snack for Dogs
Rinderkopfhaut mit Fell – zähe Kaubeschäftigung mit natürlichen Ballaststoffen für den Darm.
In your dog's bowl within 2 to 4 working days
🐂 The fur is no accident, it is the reason
Anyone holding beef head skin with fur for the first time is briefly puzzled. But that is exactly the point: the hairs act like a coarse brush while chewing, work their way through the digestive tract and are passed undigested. Many owners therefore use fur chews deliberately for natural gut cleansing.
Add to that what the head skin brings anyway: 76.6 % crude protein at only 7.2 % fat and a tough structure a dog really has to work on.
Composition: dried beef head skin with fur. Nothing else.

⚠️ What it is not meant for
Beef head skin is a beef product. For a dog with a known beef intolerance or during an ongoing elimination diet it is not the right choice, for that we have the Purwell range with rarer protein sources such as horse, roe deer and fish.
✨ Why updog?
updog is our house brand for honest chews, made by people who have dogs at home themselves. Gently dried, packed without chemical additives. What it says on the pack is what is inside.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is the fur good for?
The hairs are indigestible and travel through the gut as coarse fibre. That can stimulate gut activity and is traditionally used in the raw feeding community for natural gut cleansing. There are, however, no robust studies on worm prevention, so it is no substitute for deworming.
Is the fur dangerous?
Not in the usual amounts. With very frequent feeding or in dogs with known digestive problems, start slowly, too much indigestible fibre at once can burden the gut. Larger loose tufts of fur are better removed.
Which size suits my dog?
The 100 g pack is the trial size and suits smaller breeds, the 200 g pack is meant for medium to large dogs with a strong jaw.
How long does a piece last?
That depends heavily on chewing strength. A determined big dog gets through it much faster than a small one, but the tough structure ensures it is not a matter of seconds.
Does it smell strongly?
A mild natural smell, much less noticeable than tripe or fish products. Perfectly acceptable indoors.
Why do the pieces look different?
Because it is a natural product. Size, shape, amount of fur and colour vary, that is normal variation and not a difference in quality.
Suitable for puppies too?
From teething onwards in principle yes, under supervision. The first time, watch how your dog copes with the fur.
How do I store it?
Cool and dry, reseal the pack after taking a piece out. The best before date is stamped on the packaging.
