A Light and Crunchy Addition to Your Dog’s Treat Cupboard
Looking for rabbit ears for dogs? These single-ingredient natural treats offer a satisfying texture and a simple way to add variety to your dog’s usual selection of chews.
At OurFurryFriends, our natural rabbit ears are made from 100% rabbit, with no artificial additives. They’re part of our Chester Approved range, carefully chosen by our family-run UK business.
Whether your dog already enjoys rabbit ears or you’re considering them for the first time, here’s what you need to know about choosing, serving and storing them.
What Are Natural Rabbit Ears for Dogs?
Natural rabbit ears are single-ingredient dog treats prepared to create a light, crunchy chew.
Their distinctive shape and texture make them different from heavier chews such as beef tendons, pig ears and pizzle sticks. This makes them a useful option when you want to introduce another protein and texture into your dog’s treat cupboard.
Our rabbit ears contain:
- 100% rabbit
- No artificial colours
- No artificial flavours
- No unnecessary additives
- No added grain
Why Choose Rabbit Ears for Your Dog?
Rabbit ears are popular with dog owners looking for a straightforward natural treat with an ingredient they can easily recognise.
A single animal ingredient
Our rabbit ears are made from 100% rabbit. This makes it easy to see exactly what you are giving your dog without a long list of ingredients.
A satisfying natural texture
Chewing is a natural behaviour for dogs. Rabbit ears provide a crunchy texture that can make treat time more interesting and enjoyable.
A different protein choice
Offering a selection of animal proteins can add variety to your dog’s treats. Rabbit provides another option alongside popular choices such as chicken, duck, fish and beef.
Easy to include in a mixed treat selection
Rabbit ears can be combined with smaller training rewards and more substantial natural chews, helping you create a varied treat cupboard for different occasions.
Are Rabbit Ears Suitable for Every Dog?
Every dog is different, so treats should be chosen according to your dog’s size, age, chewing style and individual dietary needs.
Select a suitably sized treat, supervise your dog while chewing and remove any small remaining pieces that could be swallowed whole.
If your dog has allergies, a sensitive stomach, an existing health condition or a prescribed diet, speak to your vet before introducing a new treat.
How Often Can Dogs Have Rabbit Ears?
Rabbit ears should be offered as a complementary treat alongside a complete and balanced diet rather than as a replacement for your dog’s normal food.
The appropriate amount will vary depending on your dog’s size, activity level and the other treats they receive. Introduce any unfamiliar treat gradually and monitor how your dog responds.
Remember to consider treats as part of your dog’s overall daily food intake to help prevent overfeeding.
How to Serve Rabbit Ears Safely
Follow these simple precautions whenever giving your dog a natural chew:
- Choose an appropriate size for your dog.
- Always supervise them while chewing.
- Make sure fresh drinking water is available.
- Remove the treat if it becomes small enough to swallow whole.
- Introduce new treats gradually.
- Feed as part of a balanced diet.
Natural treats can vary slightly in shape, size and colour. This is normal for a product made from a natural animal ingredient.
How to Store Natural Rabbit Ears
Keep rabbit ears in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Reseal the bag securely after opening to help maintain freshness, and always follow the storage information and best-before date displayed on the packaging.
Rabbit Ears and Other Natural Dog Chews
Different treats suit different dogs and different occasions.
Rabbit ears provide a lighter crunchy option, while products such as beef tendons and pizzle sticks may suit dogs who enjoy spending longer with a more substantial chew. Smaller pieces such as beef liver bites and beef lung cubes can be useful for training and rewards.
Creating a varied selection lets you choose a treat that suits your dog’s needs at that particular moment.
