Wholesome Hide Rawhide- The only USA rawhide for your dog

Wholesome Hide rawhide is the only rawhide that it is made in USA certified . That means that their facility, their suppliers and their products have been inspected to make sure that they are sourced in the USA and fully produced in the USA.  
Mickey's Pet Supplies has the largest selection and low prices on Wholesome Hide made in USA rawhide.
You will find the greatest selection of all the Wholesome Hide product line.

Why choose Wholesome Hide?
Wholesome Hide rawhide is sourced fresh from USA cattle.  This company uses only the highest quality hides that are shipped by refrigerated trucks to their Chicago facility.  There the hides are thicker, tastier and made without those pieces and scraps that you find in the imported rawhides. These made in USA rawhides are the safest and best choice for your dogs because they are the only company that has fully sourced and produced rawhide chews.

The Wholesome Hide difference:
These rawhide bones are fresher, thicker, long lasting and safer for your dogs than the imports.
The tasty collagen layer is left intact due to minimal processing, which means a more flavorful chew that your dog will surely enjoy. Because the hides are fresh and made to order, they are easier to "wet down" and tear off into smaller pieces than the dry and brittle rawhide you find in the big box stores. Wholesome Hide rawhides are Whole Dog Journal tested and recommended. Once you try Wholesome Hide rawhide you will see the difference immediately!

Our customer reviews say it all:
"Like it that these are made in the USA.   Dog loves them.  Thick, quality treat.  Better than any others I have tried."
"My little Staffy is a heavy chewer. Ordering these Wholesome Hide SUPER THICK Retriever Roll 10" pack of 10  in bulk saves me a lot of money. Very fast service and some nice personal touches in the shipping process."
"On Mickies Pet Supplies: I have ordered several times now. Their service is accurate and fast and I continue to appreciate their service and products. I check pricing and again their prices are a little better than their competition.
These rawhide rolls are the only safe and long lasting chew I have found for my very aggressive chewer.  Not only does this give him something to occupy his time, these chews help immensely in keeping his teeth clean. For safety I do take the rawhide roll away when it becomes small and could be a choking hazard.  Expect to find these treats hidden in your sofa! No problem - no stains - not dyed or coated. For my dog these are the best."

Wholesome Hide Rawhide comparison to other rawhides

Good morning,
Last night I was contacted by a dog nutrition blogger from Sweden.  Here is her questions to me:

"Hello! I'm a dog nutrition blogger from Sweden and I'm doing a research on rawhide which is used as dog treats. I've read your comment to the article "Finding the right rawhide chew for your dog" by Nancy Kerns from the Whole Dog Journal. I can concluse that you must be very competent in the questions regarding rawhide. That's why I'd very much appreciate if you helped me to better understand some points in rawhide production. I'm particularly interested in white (bleached) rawhide chews manufactured in China. There's a clear difference between the ones you sell and the ones that sell in chain supermarkets. But I suppose it's not only the looks that differ. The Swedish retailers claim those chinese chews are controlled and thus safe for dogs to eat. Can I trust them or they can actually claim whatever they want? Do you know if there are good tanneries in China that honestly produce good chews? My dog womited each time she ate one of those white chews. Could it be because of traces of hydrogen peroxide that was used to bleach the hide? I read that if digested it can cause womiting. Can it be true? And later on when I did a hair tissue mineral analyses on her I discovered that she has high levels of ARSENIC, aluminium and mercury. The veterinarian guessed it could have been rawhides I gave my dog as treats that led to arsenic and aluminium poisoning. Could you please explain how heavy metals end up in rawhide chews? And one more question: is it by any means possible that the Chinese recycle tanned leather scraps as dog chews? Thank you very much for your time. I would be grateful if you shared with me your insights on those questions." Tina 




Here is my response to Tina:
Anything is possible with pet products made in China. You probably are aware of dog deaths from chicken dog jerky treats from China. Finally the FDA here in the United States was able to determine that there was unapproved antibiotics used by the Chinese. 
All cow hides have to be cleaned in a very dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide to kill any bacteria, otherwise they would not be safe for dogs because of contamination. Foreign countries that produce huge volumes of rawhide are making them completely stable for shipment in really hot containers that travel for weeks and then sit again on docks for months sometimes before customs clears them. By freshness and all natural standards, they are over processed and very dry and brittle. 
The Wholesome Hide rawhide by comparison is fresh, shipped by refrigerated trucks to their facility. They are a small company and a lot of times, we have to wait for our order to be made. I can't answer about where the Chinese hides are coming from, but having Arsenic and other toxins does not come as any surprise. Unfortunately, we cannot ship any meat product internationally. I get asked at least once a week. Most countries ban any meat product from entering their country. It all goes back to the hoof and mouth disease years ago. I can only say that I would not consider any other rawhide. 

I have been researching rawhides for the past five years and during my extensive research on how rawhides are made, I always come to same conclusion:  There is only one rawhide company that I trust for healthy, all natural, fresh rawhide chews for your dogs. It is Wholesome Hide. 
If you have been told that rawhide is not safe for your dog, it is because the mass retailers have always carried the over processed,dry and brittle bones from overseas.  
When your dog chews on a Wholesome Hide rawhide bone, he is wetting while he is chewing and softening a fresh hide, that is totally unlike any rawhide you have given before.

Made in USA- Wholesome Hide Rawhide

Wholesome Hide rawhides are Made in USA certified.
They are unlike any other rawhide bone that is available.
Their bones are ALL Natural- meaning that they are a natural color and fresh.
They are the only rawhide that Whole Dog Journal has ever recommended.

If you are tired of spending money on the pearly white bones available from the "big box" stores that break off into very brittle and sharp pieces then try a Wholesome Hide rawhide.

A good test is to take one of the bones from another store and a wholesome hide in a pan of warm water.  Now see if the other bone becomes soft and mushy.
The Wholesome Hide bone will become very soft.  Imagine that when your dog is chewing and wetting down the bone, this is what happens before your dog is swallowing.

There are a number of choices for all sizes of dogs available.

For very small dogs, we recommend the twists- available in 10 packs or the double twists in 5 pack size.
For small dogs, the mini rolls, pretzels, donuts and the 4 inch retriever rolls.
Medium size dogs do well with the 8 inch, 10 inch retriever rolls, 6-7 inch knots, 8-9 inch knots and the pretzels or donuts.
For larger dogs we recommend the 10-11 inch retriever rolls, 10-11 inch knots and the super thick retriever roll.

The super thick retriever roll is about 1 1/2 times the thickness of a regular roll.
It is very big and great for the aggressive chewers- Our #1 selling product!
We have a special priced pack of 10 for $64.95.
