Large Pig Ears

Pig ears are highly nutritious, but they should always be given as a treat rather than as part of a routine diet, as they are high in fat. Fat is not always a bad thing, as dogs need up to 20% of their diet to be made up of fats. In addition to fat, the other nutrient that is found in pig ears is protein (almost 70% of a pig’s ear is protein). Protein is made up of chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of all structural parts of the body, such as muscles, enzymes and antibodies. They are essential for basic functions in life, as well as effective immunity.
