Rabbit ears are highly nutritious for dogs, however, the nutritional makeup varies considerably between products. Nevertheless, all are high in protein which is excellent for maintaining healthy muscles, hair, and skin, as well as many other bodily functions. The average ranges are: 

Not only are they a nutritious treat for your dog, but they also have many health benefits, which include:

• Improved dental health: Since rabbit ears are dried, they create an abrasive action against the surface of the teeth as they are chewed. This removes plaque and food material build-up.
• Improved digestion: Some rabbit ears are covered in hair. This is a type of fiber that is poorly digested. As the hair travels through the intestines, it gently brushes trapped, undigested food away, improving the ability of the intestines to absorb nutrients.
• Natural deworming: Much like how rabbit ears improve digestion, as the hair brushes the insides of the intestines, they also help to remove worms. They are not a completely effective dewormer, so worm egg counts and medicinal dewormers will still be required, however, they help to keep the worm burden low.
• Improved anal gland health: As already mentioned, hair contains fiber, which helps to firm up the stools. If your dog struggles with recurrent anal gland impactions, firmer stools will help squeeze them as they pass by, resulting in fewer impactions and secondary infections.
• Decreased anxiety: Chewing has been scientifically proven to trigger a release of endorphins, which will help your dog relax and feel less anxious. Chewing is an ideal stress-relieving distraction during phobic events, such as fireworks or thunderstorms.
• Hypoallergenic: Many producers of rabbit ears claim they are hypoallergenic, and are suitable for dogs with food allergies. While this isn’t entirely true, as dogs can be allergic to rabbit proteins, it is very rare for a dog to be allergic to rabbit as it is a novel protein. Therefore, most dogs with allergies can tolerate it well.
