    Rawhide bones
    I heard rawhide is not good for dogs. Is this true? If so, how come?

    Thanks everyone

    Rawhide bones have been known to splinter and puncture the animals intestines... best not to risk it

    I had one nearly choked my dog who swallowed a big piece prematurely. Had I not seen the vomit on the floor I would have never heard him choking, he was so silent. And had I not had long fingernails to dig into the slime-covered thing, I would have not been able to reach down his throat far enough to pull it out. One of the scariest moments with a dog I have ever had.

    The product was rawhides pieces sold in a big box by Milkbone. I wrote the company and never got a response but I watched and saw that particular product disappear from the shelves. Since then, no rawhide anything in our house! I like the hard rubber "Kong" toys (you can fill them with treats - my dog's fav toy!) and "Nylabones" for my busy chewer instead.
