5 Hairy Treats That Are Great for Your Dog’s Gut

When it comes to natural dog treats, the hairier the better! Fur-on chews do more than satisfy chewing instincts — they deliver a natural source of fibre that sweeps through the digestive system and helps support healthy stools.

Here are our 5 best sellers for keeping your pup’s gut happy and healthy.

1. Kangaroo Ears with Fur

Our best selling furry treat. Kangaroo ears are light, crunchy, and easy for most dogs to handle. Kangaroo is generally well tolerated by most dogs, making this a firm favourite.

Digestive perk: The fine fur works like a gentle brush in the gut, supporting healthy digestion and firmer stools.

2. Goat Ears with Fur

Only marginally lest popular than kangaroo ears, goat ears are the top pick for those dogs needing a hypoallergenic furry treat.

Digestive perk: The fur provides bulk fibre, helping to clean out the digestive tract naturally, and without irritation.

3. Beef Ear - Hairy

This chunky, textured chew is a favourite for dogs who love beef. The fur is dense, giving extra roughage, while the chew itself keeps jaws working hard. Available in 2 sizes to suit most dogs.

Digestive perk: Supports gut health and helps reduce anal gland issues by firming up stools.

4. Wild Boar Ears with Fur

A lean, novel protein with plenty of fibre. Wild boar ears are chewy, making them a great option for dogs with allergies who still need the benefits of fur-on treats, and love a good chew.

Digestive perk: Fur helps sweep through the digestive system, while the lean protein is gentle on sensitive stomachs.

A variety pack of 5 different furry treats, giving your dog an opportunity to sample different flavours. Choose for variety or because you're not sure what your dog will love.

Digestive perk: Natural fibre aids digestion and supports healthy bowel function.

Why Fur Helps Gut Health

The secret lies in fibre. Just like in a human diet, fibre helps regulate digestion and keep things moving. For dogs, fur provides insoluble fibre, which:

Sweeps the digestive tract like a brush
Helps reduce constipation and anal gland issues
Supports firmer, healthier stools

Not great for sensitive stomachs

One of my dogs loved it, however my other dog who has a sensitive stomach, got sick from it. After abit of research it appears dried Squid can be rich and upset sensitive stomach so just be aware. My other dog absolutely loved it though.

saved me a $800 dental bill!

my dogs absolutely love these treats, and my wallet does, too! i was quoted $800 for a dental scale/clean for my 9yo dog. on a whim to save my bank account while also preventing him from having to go under anaesthetic and have an operation, i bought these treats. they worked almost INSTANTLY. the hard build up on his molars started cracking off and was gone completely after only 5-6 treats! not even 20 days later (he gets one of these every 2-3 days) and the rest of the build up is starting to flake off, too! being cartilage, i’m not worried about his causing any harm to his actual teeth - it’s just getting rid of all the stuff that shouldn’t be there. plus, his coat is super shiny and i love knowing that his joints are receiving some preventative care. i have recommended these treats to all of my friends and family and will be buying many more in the future!

Best chew ever!

I stumbled upon these while googling dog treats without nasties. So happy I found them, Our dogs absolutely love them. They try and take each other's to hide for later. 1 small one keeps.our Chihuahuas happy for hours. I let them have one each for a couple of hours a day. 1 will last 3 or 4 days depending on how long I let them have it for.

Delicious and entertaining

My 14y/o, 2y/o and Puppy Goldens all love these. The big girls get about 20 mins and the little boy gets over an hr of munching. Look at those happy pups!
