Both are the same sort of chew at roughly twice the weight, so they stand up far better to a bigger jaw, and they work out cheaper by weight into the bargain. Buying two of these is not quite the same thing, because a large dog gets through a short chew faster than the size difference suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePack sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle.\u003c\/strong\u003e One roll, around 110g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 Pack.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two rolls, around 220g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 Pack.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ten rolls, around 1.1kg, and the best value of the three.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it rawhide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is a fair question, because the two look similar on a shelf and there is a lot of conflicting information about it online. Rawhide is a by-product of the leather trade. It is usually chemically treated, and it swells in the stomach rather than breaking down. This is beef skin, air-dried, with nothing added, and it digests properly. You will find it among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rawhide-alternatives\"\u003erawhide alternatives\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat about collagen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin is largely collagen, so you will see plenty of claims made for chews like this one. We would rather just tell you what it is. This is a collagen-rich chew because of what it is made of, not because anything has been added to it, and it happens to be a lean one as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeef skin roll, beef wrap, beef roll?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the same chew. Beef skin is the ingredient, and a roll (some shops say wrap, slice or stick) is that skin rolled up. You will also see it as rolled beef skin, or a bully roll. Different names for the same thing, which makes comparing prices harder than it ought to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree things that genuinely are different, and worth knowing about when you compare:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeef head skin\u003c\/strong\u003e is skin from the head rather than the body, and it makes a thicker, coarser chew. A fair amount of what is listed simply as beef skin is actually head skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeef cheek rolls\u003c\/strong\u003e are a different cut again, rolled into a much denser chew. Cheek rolls, skin rolls and rawhide all get confused with one another, and they are three different things.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBraided beef skin\u003c\/strong\u003e is several strips plaited together rather than one piece rolled. It tends to last a little longer for the weight, and to cost more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is beef, which is one of the proteins dogs most often react to. If that sounds like yours, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/camel-wrap\"\u003eCamel Wrap\u003c\/a\u003e is the same shape in a protein almost no dog has ever met. You will see beef skin rolls described as hypoallergenic, and for a dog that reacts to beef they are nothing of the sort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it softens, keep an eye out for big pieces being gulped rather than chewed, and take it away once it is small enough to swallow whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for puppies from 12 weeks, with supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease supervise your dog while they enjoy this treat, and make sure fresh water is always available.
