Furry rabbit ears are whole rabbit ears air dried with the fur still on — the distinction that separates them from standard (unfurred) rabbit ears. The fur provides a natural brushing effect as it passes through the digestive tract, and raw feeders and natural treat enthusiasts commonly include furry ears in their dogs' routines specifically for this reason. The cartilage in the ear is naturally rich in collagen, which supports joint health and skin condition. Hairy Dogs furry rabbit ears are 100% rabbit, air dried with no additives or preservatives, grain free and chicken free. Available individually at £1 or in 250g, 500g, and 1kg bags.

  • Fur still on — the key distinction: Standard rabbit ears are skinned; furry ears retain the fur. The fur is digestible and provides a natural mechanical action through the gut, which is why they are a popular choice among raw feeders and owners focused on natural gut health maintenance.
  • Collagen-rich cartilage: Rabbit ear cartilage is a natural source of collagen. Collagen supports the maintenance of healthy joint cartilage, as well as skin and coat condition — making furry rabbit ears a treat with functional benefits beyond simple nutrition.
  • Soft, pliable chew — all ages and sizes: Rabbit ear is significantly softer than bone or dense meat chews, making it appropriate for puppies from 8 weeks, seniors with worn teeth, and small breeds that would struggle with harder alternatives.
  • 100% single ingredient: 100% rabbit — nothing added. Grain free, gluten free, chicken free, and free from artificial additives and preservatives.
  • Dental benefit: The texture and chewing action help reduce plaque and tartar build-up naturally over time, contributing to better dental hygiene alongside brushing.
  • Novel protein — hypoallergenic: Rabbit is a novel protein that most dogs have not been routinely exposed to, making furry ears a useful treat option for dogs on elimination diets or with common protein sensitivities.

Which size?

The individual ear (£1.00) is the right starting point if your dog hasn't tried rabbit before. The 250g bag (~21 ears) is the most practical everyday size for a single dog. The 500g (~42 ears) and 1kg (~84 ears) offer better value per ear and suit households with multiple dogs, raw feeders who include ears regularly, or anyone who prefers to buy in bulk.

Feeding guide

Feed as a treat or reward alongside a complete, balanced diet. Suitable from 8 weeks. Always supervise during chewing and ensure fresh water is available. The fat content (24.7%) is higher than leaner chews such as sprats or jerky sticks — account for this within your dog's daily caloric intake, particularly for dogs on weight-management programmes.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the bag between uses.

A complementary food for dogs — feed under supervision and always allow access to fresh water.

Common questions

Why does it matter that they're furry — what's different about the fur being on?
Standard rabbit ears have the fur removed before drying. Furry ears retain it. The fur is fully digestible and has a natural mechanical action as it moves through the digestive tract — it is thought to have a brushing or sweeping effect on the gut lining, which is why raw feeders and natural treat advocates commonly include them as part of a gut health routine. This is the primary reason furry ears command a premium over plain ears.
Can furry rabbit ears replace a worming treatment?
No. Furry rabbit ears are widely used within the natural feeding community as a complementary gut health treat and are associated with natural parasite management by many raw feeders. The theory is that the digestible fur has a mechanical action that may help reduce parasite burden. However, this is a traditional use within natural feeding rather than a clinically proven veterinary treatment. If your dog has a diagnosed worm burden or is due routine deworming, use a veterinary-prescribed treatment. Furry ears are a complement to — not a replacement for — proper parasite control.
How does the collagen in rabbit ears help dogs?
Collagen is a structural protein found naturally in cartilage, tendons, and connective tissue. In dogs, it plays a role in maintaining healthy joint cartilage, skin elasticity, and coat condition. The cartilage in rabbit ears is a natural dietary source of collagen — one of the reasons furry ears are particularly popular for older dogs or those with joint health concerns as part of a natural diet. This is food-based collagen rather than a supplement, making it a gentle and palatable way to incorporate it into the diet.
Are these suitable for puppies and older dogs?
Yes — the soft, pliable texture of rabbit ear makes it one of the more universally accessible chews. Suitable from 8 weeks for puppies with developing teeth, and a particularly practical chew for older dogs that struggle with harder alternatives. Always supervise and assess whether the size is appropriate for very small puppies.
Is rabbit a good protein for dogs with allergies or sensitivities?
Rabbit is a novel protein — most dogs in the UK have not been routinely fed rabbit, which means they are unlikely to have developed a sensitivity to it. This makes rabbit-based treats a practical option for dogs on elimination diets or those with known reactions to chicken, beef, pork, or lamb. The single-ingredient formula (100% rabbit) also means there are no hidden secondary proteins or additives. As with any new food, introduce gradually.
How long does a rabbit ear last as a chew?
This depends on your dog's size and chewing style. Most dogs will consume a single ear in 5 to 20 minutes — rabbit ears are not a long-duration chew in the way a dense bone would be. For small breeds, one ear may last longer. For larger breeds or determined chewers, they tend to be consumed relatively quickly. Many owners use them as a daily treat rather than an extended occupier.
