Collagen chews or rawhide: what's the difference?

Both come from beefhide; they come from different layers, and they chew differently.

Different layers of the hide

Rawhide chews use the inner split of the hide. CareChewz use the collagen layer and are made in the USA.

How they chew

Pet Factory sells CareChewz as an alternative to traditional rawhide: long-lasting enough to satisfy the urge to chew, 99% digestible, and with the same plaque-scraping effect. Owners whose dogs don't get on with rawhide often try collagen first; heavy chewers who want the longest session still reach for knotted rawhide bones.

Why owners choose collagen

Pet Factory links beef collagen to reduced digestive inflammation, stronger joints for mobility, a healthy coat and strong bones — and the chewing still scrapes plaque.
