As our dogs seem to really enjoy pigs ears so I thought I would buy some in bulk, so ideas about the best place to get good quality pigs ears from.

Pets at Home seem very reasonable.
Question for anyone who knows: can they be fed on the raw diet?

A relation does hog roasts so when he removes the head I removed the ears then dry them out in the oven 80 degrees for four to five hours and they go crisp then store them in an airtight jar for I think it was 6 weeks or freeze. But this was before I fed raw, now on raw pips won't eat shop bought ones. 
snob but I guess pigs ears go very cheap. See if there is a hog roast guy about they prepare about four a week depending on the size of the business obviously, thats eight ears more than enough!

The local pork farm/hog roast do 5 ears or trotters for £1 so my two get them.
They have a mainly raw diet and they are part of their 'treats'

Good idea.
Yeah, I'd be interested in the cows' ears as they're lower in fat and Brig puts on weight far too easily but I'd be hacked off if I had 49 and a bit left cos he didn't like them! Unlikely, tho, as he is very into anything bar veg.

I too have seen the cows ears, Spinonies eat just about anything, so I might try them instead, the lower fat thing would be good.

I'm sure pets at home sell cow ears in a 2 ear size pack, think they're called diet or low fat ears.

I've had the cows ears and my dog didn't like them as much as the pigs ones, although we don't give either to her anymore, I think she had a bad one and it upset her.
The cows ones are just like hide chews, light brown in colour

Yes, they're fine on raw diet - my Lab would never forgive me if she stopped getting them!
