Description
Product Description:
Freeze-drying makes a huge difference when it comes to Vital Essentials Raw Bar Pig Ears. This snack doesn’t need artificial flavor enhancers that leave a greasy film or coating that causes upset stomachs. We use a 48-hour freeze-drying process to lock in vital nutrients and remove moisture without cooking the product. This means the natural aromas are left intact for your pet’s sensory pleasure. Pig Ears are a great source of hydroxyproline which is an essential in collagen and cartilage and helps support healthy joints.
Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance Promise. Be assured that the Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Pig Ears sold in our Vital Essentials Raw Bar are safe and free of Salmonella. Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Pig Ears are sourced locally from Wisconsin based USDA facilities. These pig ears are not in any way associated with a recall.
