Wholesome Hide Rawhide Chews are Made in the USA

Dogs instinctively love rawhide! Rawhide truly satisfies a dog’s need to chew and their primal instincts are stimulated when they catch the scent of the dried hide.  There is now rightfully increased awareness about both the risks and benefits of rawhide.  Not all rawhide is created, sourced, and processed equally so it is important to understand and identify the difference between rawhide brands.

Our dogs really do deserve premium quality, natural rawhide chews and natural rawhide bones. Wholesome Hide All Natural Rawhide Chews are always made from thick, fresh, 100% USA beef hide and are made in the USA. In fact, Wholesome Hide is the ONLY rawhide chew that is produced entirely in the USA of USA beef hide! Don’t be fooled by other rawhide brands labeled as “Made from USA beef hide”.  Often the hide may be from the USA, but they are processed in foreign countries with harsh and toxic chemicals and returned to the US for packaging and distribution.

Foreign made rawhide dog chews are not subject to the same manufacturing and processing scrutiny and are more likely to be processed with toxic chemicals like arsenic, mercury, lead and formaldehyde and bleached to become white in appearance. Also artificial dyes are commonly added to hide spoilage and to make the products appealing to pet parents.  These chemicals alter the taste and remove any nutritional value the hide may have.

Unlike imported rawhide, Wholesome Hide is made of fresh, domestic beef hides that are transported by refrigerated truck to the Wholesome Hide facility located in Illinois. Because of the short transit time and careful handling, these fresh hides do not need to be processed with harsh chemicals.

Not only do Wholesome Hide rawhide chews come from USA beef, but the hides are naturally cleaned using only food grade hydrogen peroxide and rinsed with water. This simple processing means there is no leftover chemical residue clinging to your dog’s chews and also allows the collagen layer to remain on the hide. The flavorful collagen layer is removed when rawhide is processed chemically.

Each rawhide chew and rawhide bone is hand cut, hand shaped and hand tied. Slow drying on open air racks complete the manufacturing process. This hand processing results in rawhide that is uniform in shape and size with a natural golden color. All for your dog’s chewing pleasure and completely Made in the USA.

Thick USA beef hides with the collagen layer left on produce thicker rawhide. Thicker rawhide means more exercise for your dog’s jaw, cleaner teeth and longer chew time. Wholesome Hide asks you to take their challenge. Offer your dog a Wholesome Hide rawhide chew and another of lesser quality. Let your dog choose!

We all want our dogs to live long, healthy and happy lives. By choosing natural dog treats, dog food and dog chews we take a step towards achieving that goal.

When you compare the many brands and styles of rawhide treats available, you will realize how unique Wholesome Hide all natural rawhide chews are.
