EPA restrictions have limited the United States to around 33 tanneries that process hide into leather goods and rawhide. Rawhide is also a by-product of the leather industry where processing methods can contain toxic and harsh chemicals. When it comes to our pets, the low digestibility of rawhide contributes to a greater risk of intestinal obstruction if large pieces are swallowed. Rawhide can have a very negative impact on animals, people, and the Earth. Selecting sustainably sourced, highly digestible goodies for our pets is one way we can help preserve a healthier future for animals, people, and the Earth. When our pets consume highly digestible chews and treats, they generate significantly less poop that contaminates local waterways. Here’s why: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers our pet’s waste to be hazardous to the environment. Independent testing has found that, on average, No-Hides exceed the digestibility of rawhide chews.* This means No-Hide chews are better for sensitive tummies and, thus, better for our planet. Some manufacturers also color rawhide chews with potentially harmful dyes such as FD&C Red 40 which studies show is carcinogenic and genotoxic. Traditional rawhide bones are a by-product of the leather industry and are often processed using toxic solutions such as ash lye, bleach, and chromium salts – to name a few.
