Is it safe for dogs to ingest Pork Chomps? Yes, in moderation. Pork Chomps are easy to digest. They break down more readily than rawhide.
In digestibility studies by the University of Illinois Department of Animal Science, digestibility of Pork Chomps demonstrated just why these are vet recommended dog chews. The study verified our chews were 99.9% digested after 24 hours, which is significantly more than the 50-85% digestibility of rawhide.
Pork Chomps are a 100% rawhide-free pork skin dog chew made with a patented and proprietary process. Removing 70% of the porks fat creates a cleaner and healthier dog chew. Pork Chomps are baked, not fried, which results in a low-fat dog chew. Pork skin has a natural flavor that is appealing to dogs and preferred 9 to 1 over rawhide dog chews. Not to mention, they keep dogs busy, lasting multiple chewing sessions.
In addition, and perhaps most important, is the digestibility of our rawhide alternatives for dogs. In a 2012 study by the University of Illinois. pork skin was proven to be 99.9% digested within 24 hours. This is a much safer and healthier alternative to rawhide, which leaves up to 50% undigested. Rawhide can result in stomach or intestinal blockages in the stomach which can even require surgery.
With almost 100% digested in 24 hours, Pork Chomps is a safer, healthier alternative to rawhide. Additionally Pork Chomps provide consumers the peace of mind in knowing this is a product made for dogs to consume, as opposed to rawhide which is a byproduct of the leather industry and never made to be consumed.
Premium Pork Chomps are manufactured in a state-of the-art facility built in 2013 that has been certified by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). GFSI is an international organization formed in 2000 to establish consistent regulations for human food production. These global food safety standards address food, packaging, packaging material, storage and distribution. Scott Pet is proud of the dedication, hard work and commitment to quality that was required to earn the GFSI certification. The Scott Pet Pork Chomps facility is one of the few pet manufacturing facilities in the world to receive GFSI certification. The ultimate goal was to give our retailers and consumers the highest level of confidence and quality assurance in Premium Pork Chomps products.
As proven in a 2012 University of Illinois canine digestibility study, Premium Pork Chomps are 99.9% digestible. This leading veterinary college study also concluded that Premium Pork Chomps dissolve in a dogs intestinal system twice as fast as beef rawhide. Rawhide can also cause bowel obstructions resulting in unneeded pain or vet visits. Our dedication to your dogs safety is the leading reason why we do not use rawhide in any of our products.

Finishing his delicious treat, he immediately ran back to me begging for more. To say the least, Gunner is smitten with Premium Pork Chomps. Because I had never seen Gunner so taken with a dog treat, I decided to do a little bit of research to see what sets Premium Pork Chomps apart from his regular rawhide treats.
Gunner, my chocolate lab, is a valued member of my family. I love surprising him with treats and toys because he gets SO excited. When a box from Pork Chomps arrived at my porch, Gunner knew that the goodies inside were for him.
He immediately sat down, wagged his tail, and “shook” my hand over and over again in hopes that I would give him a Pork Chomp. Upon receiving his Premium Pork Chomp, he started running around in circles filled with complete joy.
Most dogs love chewing on rawhide. However, I recently found out that rawhide is terrible for your dog’s digestive system. Almost impossible to digest, rawhide can stay in a dog’s digestive system for days causing blockage. This blockage may cause your dog to feel uncomfortable or result in surgery (in cases of severe blockage).
Because Gunner is like my second child, I want to make sure that he is receiving quality pet care items; that is why I fully endorse Pork Chomps Products. Every time I give Gunner a Premium Pork Chomp, I know that I am helping his digestive system while still providing a yummy treat.
