As dog owners, we all want to give our pups something satisfying to chew on—something that keeps them entertained, supports their health, and doesn’t leave a mess on the floor (or in their stomach). For years, rawhide has been a go-to, but if you’re still giving it to your dog, it might be time to reconsider.
Enter: braided collagen chews—the superior, healthier, and safer alternative. If you’ve ever wondered what makes collagen chews better than rawhide, we’re here to break it down for you.
🚫 Rawhide – The "Nope" Chew
Rawhide has been around forever, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best option. Here’s why it might not be the safest or healthiest choice for your dog:
❌ Hard to Digest – Rawhide is made from the inner layer of animal hides and often processed with chemicals. Because it doesn’t break down easily in your dog’s stomach, it can cause serious digestive issues or even dangerous blockages.
❌ Slimy, Mushy Mess – Ever noticed how rawhide turns into a gross, sticky glob after some chewing? That’s not just unpleasant—it can also be a choking hazard if your dog swallows big, slippery chunks.
❌ Loaded with Chemicals – Many rawhide chews go through heavy processing that involves bleach, preservatives, and other chemicals. Not exactly what you want your pup munching on.
❌ Zero Nutritional Benefits – Rawhide is just... there. It satisfies the urge to chew, but it doesn’t provide any real health perks for your dog.
✅ Braided Collagen Chews – The "Heck Yes" Chew
Now let’s talk about why braided collagen chews are the way to go:
✔️ Made from Natural Bovine Collagen – Instead of processed animal hides, collagen chews come from the inner layer of beef skin, which is packed with natural protein that supports your dog’s joint health, skin, and coat.
✔️ Highly Digestible – Unlike rawhide, collagen chews break down easily, making them much safer for your pup’s stomach and reducing the risk of blockages.
✔️ No Slimy Chunks – These chews soften gradually and break down evenly, meaning no gross, slippery pieces that can get lodged in your dog’s throat.
✔️ Chemical-Free Goodness – The best collagen chews (like the ones we sell 😉) are made without harsh chemicals, preservatives, or artificial additives—just pure, protein-packed chewing fun.
So… Which One Wins?
It’s pretty obvious—collagen chews > rawhide all day, every day. Not only are they safer, but they also provide real health benefits for your pup. And let’s be real, if your dog could choose, they’d pick the tastier, cleaner, and healthier chew every time.
