About Ugly Chews
Ugly Chews was founded in Wyoming with a simple but ambitious mission: turn wasted ranch and butcher byproducts into sustainable, all-natural dog chews. Sourcing beef hides, organs, and other materials from small family ranches and local butchers in Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho, the brand focuses on zero-waste practices by transforming what would otherwise be discarded into long-lasting, single-ingredient chews. Their products are hand-cut, washed without chemicals, sun-dried using natural UV exposure instead of bleach or preservatives, and packaged with sustainability in mind. Built around transparency, local sourcing, and minimal processing, Ugly Chews positions itself as an eco-conscious alternative to heavily processed conventional rawhide while supporting rural communities, animal shelters, and waste-reduction efforts.
