As dog owners, we all want the best for our furry companions. Whether it’s providing them with a balanced diet, keeping them active, or offering them engaging treats that promote both health and happiness. Putting animal hair into your dog’s diet can have some surprising positive effects for accomplishing some of these goals. 

Undomesticated dogs living in the wild eat everything, and their bodily systems are designed to handle and make use of it all. The wild dogs don’t just eat the meat, they eat the organs, bones, hide/skin, hair, feathers, etc. All these things have vitamins, minerals, or some other physical system of cleansing to help with bodily function. An animal hide with the hair still attached provides fiber, collagen, and the hair brushes the dog's teeth as they chew! 

When a dog eats a hairy hide, the hair passes through the digestive tract and acts like a pipe cleaner. Many dog owners have reported incredible results, some claiming it helped clear out old buildup, improved their dog’s bowel regularity, and even led to healthier-looking excrement. Dogs like this more than likely never caught that squirrel, or that bird to clean out their digestive system before they ate a hairy hide. We have received countless testimonies and overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers who swear by these benefits. While these reports are compelling, it’s important to note that we do not yet have scientific studies to definitively prove these effects, and that hair like any health supplement can be overfed, so always monitor your dog's health to ensure the hair is helping them. 

As mentioned earlier, our hairy hides are an amazing natural toothbrush. We understand the struggle of trying to regularly brush your dog's teeth. I think it’s safe to say your dog also hates teeth cleaning time. In the wild, dogs keep their teeth clean by chewing on the hides of animals they hunted. Since most domesticated dogs are no longer catching their own food, they have lost nature's natural way of cleaning their teeth. By introducing our hairy hides into their diet, they are not only getting nutritional value, but they are also brushing their teeth on their own teeth! The best part is your dog will love eating our hairy hide rolls. Your dog can now have clean teeth without the hassle. 

Incorporating animal hair into your dog’s diet may seem unusual, but it aligns with their natural instincts and can provide valuable health benefits. Just as wild dogs consume entire animals, including hair and feathers, domestic dogs can also benefit from the fiber, collagen, and natural cleansing effects that hair offers. From improving digestion to promoting dental health, this simple addition can support overall well-being in ways that traditional diets may not. By embracing a more natural approach to feeding, we can help our furry companions thrive, ensuring they live healthier, happier lives.
