Nibbables editorial team. Every claim on this page is quoted from the brand's own page or the source linked next to it; we don't test, rate or review products. Page updated 2026-11-05. How we verify.
Cow ears are dried or oven-baked beef ears, sold whole, plain or washed ("white"), and thick-cut. If you're asking whether cow ears are good for dogs, or how they compare with pig ears, we compare only what each brand's own page states: the ingredients, where the ears come from or are made, calorie and guaranteed-analysis figures, and the chewer sizes and supervision steps each brand names. Stated origins differ a lot between brands: Brazil, Colombia, Canada, the USA and Turkey all appear. Only one page gives calories per ear. Anything a page doesn't say is marked Not stated. Ask your vet whether a cow ear suits your dog.

Quick answers
Where are cow ears made or sourced?
3 of the 7 cow ears product pages we list state where the chew is made; the rest don't say. Places named in the brands' own made-in or sourcing wording, with the number of products: Brazil (3), Colombia (3), USA (2), Canada (2), Turkey (1). Some pages name several possible countries, so the counts can add up to more than the number of products. These are the brands' claims, not ours; each card below quotes the exact wording. Last checked 2026-11-05.
Which cow ears say they're made or sourced in the USA?
2 of 7: Pawstruck Cow Ears for Dogs; Redbarn Cow Ears. The wording differs (for example sourced in the USA vs made in the USA), so read the quote on each card.
Which cow ears say they're both sourced and made in the USA?
0 of 7 say both made (or baked) in the USA and sourced in the USA. 1 says made or baked in the USA but don't say the source is the USA: Pawstruck Cow Ears for Dogs. 1 names the USA another way (for example packaged in, or country of origin): Redbarn Cow Ears. Some lines name the USA alongside other countries, so read the exact quote on each card.
Which cow ears do brands say are for puppies or small dogs?
2 of 7 product pages mention puppies or small dogs in their size guidance: Jack&Pup All-Natural Cow Ear Dog Chews; Jack&Pup White Cow Ear Dog Chews. None of those say the chew is made in the USA. This is the brands' own size wording, not our recommendation; read each card's size and supervision quotes.
Which cow ears come in packs of 20 or more?
4 of 7 product pages list a pack of 20 or more: Best Bully Sticks 100% All-Natural Cow Ears (20 Pack) (up to 20); Best Bully Sticks Premium Thick-Cut Cow Ear (25 Pack) (up to 25); Jack&Pup All-Natural Cow Ear Dog Chews (up to 40); Jack&Pup White Cow Ear Dog Chews (up to 40). Counted from each brand's own pack options as of the last check; pages that list only lengths, weights, or unnumbered case counts aren't counted.

Which brands' cow ears are listed here?
7 products from 5 brands: Best Bully Sticks (2), Jack&Pup (2), Pawstruck (1), Raw Paws (1), Redbarn (1). Nibbables doesn't rank or rate them; each card links the brand's own product page.
Do brands say their cow ears are rawhide-free?
2 of 7 product pages literally say rawhide-free or made without rawhide: Jack&Pup All-Natural Cow Ear Dog Chews; Jack&Pup White Cow Ear Dog Chews. The others don't say either way, which doesn't mean they contain rawhide; check with the brand.
What do brands say about supervising dogs with cow ears?
7 of the 7 cow ears product pages we list include supervision or feeding wording; all of them say something. 7 say to supervise or monitor your dog (Best Bully Sticks, Jack&Pup, Pawstruck, Raw Paws, Redbarn). 7 say to remove or throw away small, broken or swallowable pieces (Best Bully Sticks, Jack&Pup, Pawstruck, Raw Paws, Redbarn). 4 mention fresh water (Best Bully Sticks, Jack&Pup). These are the brands' words, not a safety rating from us; each card quotes the exact wording, and your vet knows your dog.
How often can a dog have cow ears?
None of the 7 cow ears product pages we list give a number of chews per day or week in the wording we quote. 2 say to give them in limited quantity, as an occasional or supplemental treat, or to introduce new chews slowly (Pawstruck, Redbarn). For how often your own dog should have one, ask your vet; we don't give feeding advice.
