[QUOTE="Star*, post: 557631, member: 4964"] A few things about rawhides........(and don't groan it's a vet thing) Yes I'm fully aware these are DOGS, and they have k9 teeth and not stomachs like humans -------that said...... RAWHIDES are not to be given in LARGE quantity. Neither are pig ears. AND they "CAN" rip holes in intestines if not chewed completely and CAN cause gum infections if chewed by and intensive chewer. AND they can cause upset stomachs and in some EXTREME cases? Casue you a HUGE vet bill with surgery and PAIN and sometimes death to the dog. Our Casper is a "treasure"( long rawhide stick) conniseur. They sell them at Sams club in a bag - like 20 for $9 bucks - super cheap. They are about 12" long and 2" round. GREAT deal. Casper can munch one in about 10 mins or less. SO ........that's all that beef HIDE.......(not anything but hide) sitting in his guts.......digesting if.......it digests and sometimes ........he will choke on it or poop it out whole (undigested) ...... Our vet HATES rawhides. Rawhide chips and even pig ears are NOT high on his list of enjoyable snacks to give........but hes cool with "knuckle" bones - or they actually are HIP sockets. And cut up marrow bones - which are the bovine thigh bones. Even still like I said - WATCH for splintering. AND .........in our house the BIGGEST problem is TERRITORY over marrow bones. When they do get one? EVERYONE goes into a separate room,,,,,,,,and when everyone comes out of that room THAT bone goes UP.......and they know it ------no posturing, no fighting -------no stitches......no vet bill......they see me take it, and say "YOUR BONE IS HERE." and that's how it's done. OTHERWISE.......faces and butts get handed out.......that's dog nature. [/QUOTE]
