Wholesome Hide dog bones are American made rawhide dog bones. Wholesome Hide is based out of Chicago and is one of the very few remaining rawhide dog bone manufactures left in the US.
Mickey's Pet Supplies is proud to offer this outstanding line of quality dog bones.
Whole Dog Journal has recommended only one rawhide chew and that was Wholesome Hide. Whole Dog Journal is considered the premier guide to natural dog care and training.
In May 2009, Nancy Kerns wrote an article titled "Finding the Right Rawhide Chew For Your Dog" She stated "Safe, natural chews are hard to find, but they do exist" Purchasing American made rawhide chews is the way to go. Lead, arsenic, mercury, chromium salts, formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals can be found in low quality hides. Rawhides that are processed in the U.S. are less likely to contain illegal or toxic chemicals, as compared to hides that are processed overseas.
The most important factor is to have a truly fresh hide that has been iced, refrigerated and then sent to the manufacturing facillity with a few days of the cow's slaughter. When hides are exported, more extensive interventions are required.
Ms. Kerns likes the "rolled" rawhides by Wholesome Hide. These retriever rolls are rolled up like a newspaper and dried. When you compare Wholesome Hide Retriever Rolls to other brands you can see the difference. Wholesome Hide uses a single sheet of rawhide, where other manufacturers use a small sheet wrapped around a lot of bits.
The Wholesome Hide rawhide chews are made from 100% USA Beef hide and their rawhide chews still contain the collagen layer. This flavor layer exists because of Wholesome Hide's natural processing. The collagen layer is what dog's love. This is the flavor that entices a dog to chew.
Wholesome Hide rawhide chews are always made from the freshest, thickest beef hides available in the U.S. Their dog chews are healthier for dogs than the imported chews.
Wholesome Hide pride themselves in not over-processing their rawhide. They use natural processing with no potentially harmful chemical residue and all their chews are hand-tied and knotted.
If you have a dog that loves to chew, especially a big dog, then you must try the Wholesome Hide Super Thick Rawhide Retriever Rolls.
These retriever rolls are more expensive than what is in the big box stores, but you will find these last twice as long as regular rawhide chews.
We have chosen to carry the Wholesome Hide brand of rawhide chews, not only because they are the best, but because our dog loves them.
The superthick retriever rolls are only made by Wholesome Hide and can be purchased at our store- http://mickeyspetsupplies.com
