[QUOTE="donna723, post: 521494, member: 1883"] Malika, if she does decide to try out the rawhide, I'd be very, very careful with it. Rawhide chews should only be given to them if you can watch them every minute while they're chewing on them. It can be a significent choking hazard to them, especially small dogs. When they chew on the rawhide it softens up and lots of dogs will try to swallow big pieces of it whole. Ragan, my oldest Boston, almost died from choking on rawhide! She had one of those "bones" that's just a long strip of rawhide with knots tied on both ends. She chewed it until it was all soft and gummy, then tried to swallow the whole thing! She wasn't making any noise but I saw she was in real distress and was struggling. I looked in her mouth and saw the rawhide way in the back of her mouth. I grabbed it and pulled and the whole strip came out! She had tried to swallow the whole thing - one end was in her stomach and the other end was in her mouth and it was completely blocking her airway! A few more minues and I would have lost her. That was the last time any of mine ever got rawhide! [/QUOTE]
