Cow Ears or Pig Ears
We get a lot of questions about both of these chews and wanted to clarify some information on them. First off, they are both from South American free-ranging animals (this means that they are not kept in feedlots, given hormones, and are free-grazing eating mostly grasses). They are also both great chews for dogs and last a considerable amount of time. The sizing of them is about the same with the cow ears being a little bigger. They are both all natural and not smoked and as such offer a pretty clean treat for your dog. These are also both single ingredient items (no preservatives, chemicals, etc…)
Now for the differences…
Cow Ears are typically an off-white color and have a faint beef smell to them. They are not greasy at all and have a little less fat than a pig ear. They are a great option for dogs that are sensitive to pork products or may need to diet a bit. The nutritional data for cow ears is as follows:
Guaranteed Analysis

Pig Ears are a pink/brown/hazel color and are also a great dog chew. These have been around forever and are a little higher in fat than Cow Ears. Just like the Cow Ears the Pig Ears will have a faint pork smell that is all natural. The following is the nutritional data on Pig Ears:
