Loading ...Pork Chomps: Pet Product of the Week
So I have this fabulous new product to tell you all about that is am AMAZING alternative to traditional rawhides. They are called Pork Chomps.
They are a “safer, tastier, more digestible alternative to beef rawhide because the revolutionary chews are made from natural baked pork skin.”
I tested these out on the four Basset Hounds this weekend and they were a TOTAL HIT. Of course Henry, the oldest and the alpha male, will eat anything you put in front of him, but the other three, not so much. They often turn their noses at treats and chewies but not Pork Chomps.
Franklin promptly took his Pork Chomp outside for privacy while the other three boys chewed theirs all in a row in the family room. It took them about 10-15 minutes to get through the small chewy treat.
Pork Chomps, according to a news release, were preferred by 9 out of 10 dogs against beef rawhides. “Baked pork skin has a natural flavor that’s extremely appealing to dogs so unlike conventional rawhide, Pork Chomps don’t have to be stuffed or basted to entice dogs…”
Made by Scott Pet Products, extensive research and field tests by the company have shown that pork skin chews are more easily digested than rawhide, which is important for pet parents because there have been tons of reports of dogs getting intestinal issues from beef rawhides (my two Golden Retrievers included).
So I would highly recommend these chewies to anyone looking for a tasty, more easily digestible alternative to beef rawhides.
Pork Chomps are available in Bacon, Peanut Butter, and Pepperoni flavors and in a remarkable range of styles, including Mini Knots, Smoked Bagels, and Rolls. You can find them at PetSmart, Tractor Supply, and other pet stores, or check out the website to order of for more info.
Bottom line: four Bassets give 16 paws up to Pork Chomps:)

These sound great, but peanut butter flavored pork skin? That sounds a bit weird, but I bet the dogs love it.
I can actually vouch for these… Ours two Jack Russell Terriers love them to death. We have only used the Bacon ones at the moment, but are waiting to try the other ones.
These sound yummy. We’re going to send mom out to look for some.
Love Ruby & Penny
Porkhide bones (a safe and healthy alternative to rawhide) and pork puff snouts are a big hit in my house. I get them here:
