The myth that pigs ears are a fatty treat is purely that, a myth.

Pigs ear is made from cartilage which is good for your pups joints in moderation.

Cartilage contains natural glucosamine and chondroitin, so chewing on ears can benefit your pups joints. They’re soft and easy on the teeth … so they’re good chews for dogs with sensitive teeth or dogs who prefer a leisurely chew. They are also an alternate from a traditional bone, and is good for your pups teeth. Gnawing on ears helps remove plaque and tartar, promoting dental health … and chewing helps keep your dog’s gums healthy too.

And because they’re just cartilage, pig ears are easily digestible for your pup. Just monitor your pup in the early stages. We recommend you don’t cut this into smaller pieces at it could cause obstruction in your pups throat.
