Rawhide chips from Argentina or Brazil, an area where use of hormones in raising cattle is absent or, at least, not used in such large amounts as cattle from the USA. Free of additives of any kind, according to the labeling. My dogs love them.

Per Ingredient list on the package. Of approx. 15 ingredients, "Beefhide" is the first ingredient. So, these chews are certainly NOT just rawhide.

I'd say they are the same as any natural chew item. A bit more when it's damp. BUT, my dog was alarmed by the scent, likely because he had never encountered anything that smelled like this before. He is normally crazy for traditional rawhide. But Elk was a new scent for him. I wouldn't avoid this product because of it's natural scent . . . and I would call it that, a scent as opposed to an ordor . . . and keeping in mind that a dog's sense of smell is so much more keen than ours as humans. As a person, you would definitely have to pick it up and sniff it in order to smell it. Hope this helps!

Seem's real. Bones, claws etc... Came off of an organic being for sure. Rabbit? One hopes. Hate to think I have a groundhog foot in my pocket!

I would interpret natural to mean that it is not synthetic or chemically comprised. This whey powder is both natural and unflavored(i.e.no sugar, no additional flavoring)

They look raw to me. I bought them on few occasions and give one package to my son. He is against roasted nuts and strictly paleo, he never complained.

I think it would be difficult to distinguish as they are dried to a fuit leather consistancy, which is what helps to preserve them. All the ones I have purchased taste very good whether I eay them as is or rehydrate for a recipe. This batch has lasted me several months and I can taste no discernable difference.

No. All natural. You should be able to view the back of the canister to see the ingredients.

There is no way to be sure. I suppose it could be something natural but if it were, why not just tell us. How can "natural flavor" be an ingredient? Deceptive labeling is a growing issue due to looser labeling laws. I have found that "natural flavor" is often something unnatural that was created from something natural. For example, proteins that have been "hydrolyzed" (chemically disassembled) in order to excite specific taste cells. Unfortunately certain amino acids, when concentrated in free form, are capable of harming neurons (in our most vital organs). Same problem as Aspartame and MSG. These "excitotoxins" are often derived from natural sources. An sneaky way to add even more unhealthy flavor compounds while keeping a clean label (and company image).

No they are not. THat is why I buy them. My dog loves them, they are a great pure meat treat.

I agree with the previous answers. They are packaged in bulk without any ingredients labeled. I know for a fact that "Bassett Jelly Babies" are natural. It it is that important to you then buy the Bassett's and not the Gustaf's. FYI they are coated in starch.

It says chewable and I suppose they are if you have the courage lol but I wouldn't have marketed them as such...just swallow whole.

Yes. It is made of natural ingredients. Our dogs have been eating it for over a year. They love them.

A few years ago I believe they were made with rabbit fur, but they have changed since then. The tails no longer feal like leather and they no longer say they use any rabbit fur. The box now says they are made from top quality materials. I rub them with catnip and my cats love them.

Natural flavor is usually something they don't want us to know about. When they want to hide something, they call if natural flavor. I don't know. if it is dairy free.

I think they are raw (not very shiny) although they are quite attractive. My grandchildren wear them constantly.
