Manufacturer: Loving Pets
What It Is: all-natural dog chews
Dogs love chewing–and gnawing on a hard chew is a great way for them to clean tartar from their teeth. Many chews don’t have much in the way of nutritional value, though–but we recently had the opportunity to receive some review bags of Vita-Hide, a dog chew that consists of all-natural rawhide wrapped with 100 percent chicken and dipped in vitamins and supplements.
Two types of Vita-Hide treats are available:
- Loving Pets Vita-Hide Joint Formula: This treat contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin to promote healthy joints.
- Loving Pets Vita-Hide Heart Formula: This treat includes L-Carnatine, a natural antioxidant used to help improve heart health; Taurine, an amino acid helpful in the treatment of heart ailments and high cholesterol; and vitamins C & E, offering health benefits relating to heart function.
Each formula is available in several sizes to best suit the size of your dog.
We love the idea of added nutrients in the chew…but the real test was would the dogs. Would our dogs like them even with the added supplements? There was only one way to find out.
Tiki decided the chews should be eaten as a two-part experience, first the chicken, then the rawhide, while Irie (right) merrily chomped her way through the whole thing. We rarely give our dogs rawhide due to their bad habit of trying to swallow large pieces; because of the risk of choking, it’s a treat they receive only when they’re directly supervised. As with any rawhide, we watched the dogs while they enjoyed their Vita-Hide chews.
The verdict? Both dogs absolutely loved Vita-Hides.
