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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposition: dried beef head skin with fur.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e✨ Why updog?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eupdog 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e❓ Frequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fur good for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the fur dangerous?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size suits my dog?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a piece last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it smell strongly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mild natural smell, much less noticeable than tripe or fish products. Perfectly acceptable indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do the pieces look different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause it is a natural product. Size, shape, amount of fur and colour vary, that is normal variation and not a difference in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for puppies too?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom teething onwards in principle yes, under supervision. The first time, watch how your dog copes with the fur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCool and dry, reseal the pack after taking a piece out.
