HDP Beef Cow Ears Jumbo Flavor:Natural Size:Pack of 20

I foster dogs, Spaniel-sized little guys. They are so sweet, and loving, it is really difficult to even imagine these loving little fur-kids as fast and frenzied, cow and pig ear disposals units, possessing piranha-like chewing skills. However, just pull the container of cow ears out from its top of the refrigerator location and witness the excitement, (Even the most determined of jumpers has never managed to steal food from that location.) I knock on wood as I write those challenging words..These ears are of a lovely quality, one of the best brands that I have tried. My fur-kids have chewed their way throjgh unbelievable quantities of these canine, gustatory, delights. I have been disappointed so frequently with my purchases of large quantities of both cow, and pig ears., I used to feed smoked and dried pig ears.. But pig ears are quite caloric, and a few members of the group were already displaying depressing signs of middle--aged spread.. Serious measures were called- for, and this job was immediately moved to the top, and out of my " #1 bucket list".I checked my long-time friend for both solid recommendations, and a excellent value for ,money : Amazon.. I immediately located these cow ears, there were so many brands, so many words of advice. I became quite discouraged as I viewed the many, many offerings on display. However, utilizing the ever-helpful Amazon methods of narrowing down my choices, until there were only a few contenders left on the pages, and I perused the reviews of the most likely of offerings, soon to be aided and directed towards only three offerings.After careful perusal of the reviews, along with the seller descriptions of the product, there was really only one clear winner: the HDP Jumbo Cow Ears. Go to the HDP site, and read some of the reviews, compare the seller descriptions, you will be led to the HDP brand, just as so many others before you demonstrate so mightily - HDP becomes the only top contender for the "Kids".I ordered the "HDP Jumbo Beef Cow Ears,and have never looked back. I ordered and received the pack, the ears were lovely and ENORMOUS, What a step-up from the minuscule, and very pricey ears, those that I had been purchasing from some of the larger pet-product businesses. I was thrilled, the ears were not only large, they seemed to offer forth a more acceptable aroma, not quite as off-putting as other brands on the market.I whistled and called, the Gang was outside, protecting us all from any possible, organized, squirrel incursions upon the premises. This can be a very intense, and rather high-voltage activity. However, I was able to attract the attention of my clever, alpha female, uncontested leader of the pack. She raced in my direction, and shot through the doggy door before I could even open the people door. She is old and very wise. She knew that something good was in the offing. Some of the younger, teen-aged, and frantically barking males were a bit slower than my alpha girl. But you could see the news circulating through that group of dedicated, young barkers. Soon, even the most frenzied member of the younger generation had received the news, given-up on his responsibilities as mighty defender against those ever more pesky squirrels, and had joined the panting line-up in the kitchen.I distributed the ears, and,the pack rapidly disappeared, each seeking a favorite hiding place. A wise move, as even the best of "buds" will, with absolutely no hint of hesitation, attempt to smoothly snatch, and disappear with this most precious of objects beyond price in the canine world.I agree with the pack, these are great ears, very large, obviously quite tasty, and well worth the money. These cow ears were obviously awarded the highly-regarded, and most treasured of rankings (# 1), in the world of cow ear competitions. Try these, whether you have a large pack, or a treasured, loved, and single little fur kid - they deserve the very best, and with these HDP Jumbo Beef Cow Ears that is what you have.......the best.

I have two Great Danes and both have loved these very much! Most ears have been really large, which is great because I have really large dogs. :DI've decided to remove 1 star. The second box of 100 smoked ears I got have been mostly small. I had a few small ears in the 1st box I got but thought nothing of it. This box has been full of smaller ears, which is quite unfortunate because for me the selling point was large ears for large dogs. :D**EDIT March 21st, 2018Will still be buying these but man these are NOT the jumbo ears I got in the first box I ordered. Most of these ears on my second order have been on the smaller side. However, they also have been a bit thicker?? Dogs love them and still a decent price for a good, safe and enjoyable chew for my dogs.Changed to 3 stars because they are not "JUMBO".

These aren't genuine smoked cow ears and if I could give negative stars, I would. Appear to be dyed rawhide and don't resemble the texture, smell, or color of cow ears. The product I received looks nothing like the stock photo. My GSDs are obligate chewers and love natural chews, especially ears. But I've never given them rawhide due to the known and well-established risks associated with rawhide (blockage, chemical residues from tanning, etc.). Also noticed other reviewers mentioning their dog's bloody stools after chewing these, which can happen with rawhide. It's a leather by-product and much more difficult to digest than real ears.I am deeply disappointed, but more importantly feel that members of my family were endangered for a quick buck.

These are nice big good quality ears. I cut one up each night with wire cutters for the 3 dogs to share. I have two heavy chewers that chomp on the thicker parts, and my little hound gets the thinner ear tip part. I like these because they aren't fatty like the pig's ears. That said, do monitor your pets when they are eating these--my really heavy chewer likes to get the entire thing gummy and then will try to swallow it whole--thus the whole cutting it up with the shears thing. He is a very aggressive eater however. The other two will chew smaller pieces off first.

My pups are heavy chewers; these treats are pretty large (most are >6”) and occupy them for 10-15 mins. I have been giving them these treats for almost 2 years now, and while I do supervise them, I have never had a choking episode. They love them and know them by name!

This is the second time (Fall, 2011) I ordered these. My first review is below, for which I gave three stars. This time the cow ears are SMELLY. In addition, they are softer, and "tear" apart very easily and my dogs then swallow the torn shred which sticks in the back of the throat. I am very disappointed and will not use them, hence a total waste of money. I will pay more (these were $42 for 100) but buy from a different distributor.I really was pleased with these cows ears, at first. My dogs love them and I was surprised that a small miniature dachshund was able to go through one in about 20 minutes as they are thin. I started cutting them into two, giving half each day to each dog. THEN after a month, I discovered that their gums were really red and swollen, especially the part closest to the teeth. The vet suggested that maybe these ears, because they are thin, scrape against the gums and irritate them. I stopped using them and five days later, their gums are more normal now and less red and swollen. The problem is now they expect one each morning after their morning walk.... I think maybe a thicker ear or a rawhide bone would not have the same effect. Too bad as these cows ears were very reasonable, don't smell bad and the dogs certainly like them.

Wow! I was so happy these are gigantic ears they are not thin. I ordered a different manufacturer in the past and they were very thin my dog just walked away from them. My dog really likes these and I’m very pleased! Will order again
