Pets Elite Natural Hide Chips
Why we stock it
This is the pork rind range in its most everyday form — no shaping, no filling, just flat squares folded double so they have some substance. It is the one to buy if you give a chew most days rather than as an occasional event, because the 450g pack works out cheaper per chew than the shaped items. Individually they do not last long, which is the trade-off.
What it is
Flat sections of real pork rind, each around 90×90mm, folded in two to make a chip roughly 3 to 5mm thick. About 450g in a pack. Rates 3 of 5 on the Pets Elite chewyness scale — medium hard.
Ingredients
Pork (rind/skin), vinegar.
Vinegar is used during dehydration as a natural preservative. No grain, no added salt or sugar, no colourants or flavourants.
Feeding and use
Give under supervision, with fresh water alongside. Take it away once it is small enough to swallow whole. Chews and treats should stay under about 10% of what your dog eats in a day.
Suited to
- Daily chewing rather than an occasional treat
- Small and medium dogs
- Multi-dog households
- Dogs on a beef-free diet
Not suited to
- Dogs wanting a long session — these go quickly
- Dogs on a pork-free elimination diet
- Puppies under three months
