If food transition is not an option, we recommend feeding multiple smaller meals which helps over-feeding and gives your dog more time to digest the new food.

- 50 to 75 lbs. – Large Size Chew
- 75 lbs. and up – Extra Large Size Chew
2. Do Hide Free Chews contain any rawhide, animal skins or collagen?
- Hide Free Chews use absolutely NO RAWHIDE, Animal Skin or Collagen. We only use ingredients which are easily digestible. We proudly state 100% Rawhide Free directly on our packaging. Other brands imply they are rawhide free based on their product name, or they state their products are made from “collagen” but they can’t say Rawhide Free on their package because animal hide is used in some portion of their processing.
3. Do Hide Free Chews last as long as rawhide?
- They do not last as long as rawhide or chews that imply they are rawhide free in their name because Hide Free Chews do not use any animal skin, rawhide or difficult to digest ingredients. Hide Free Chews do provide enjoyable chewing to help fulfill a dog’s natural chewing instinct.
4. Do Hide Free Chews have artificial flavors or colors?
- They do not contain artificial flavors or colors.
