| What is Poultry Digest? I recently purchased Petrodex Dental Chew Strips for my dog. I figured since he gives me a hard time brushing his back teeth that this should help clean them better. He loves them. However, I noticed one ingredient is poultry digest. What exactly is that? I hope it's not harmful to give it to him.

| Poultry digest - A palatability enhancer made by reducing (cooking down) meat and fat into concentrated liquid or dry product. Poultry digest can be made from any fowl (turkey, geese, buzzards, etc.) This is an inconsistent ingredient which can contain unpredictable birds unsuitable for human consumption. http://www.allourpets.com/natural-pet-food/index.html EWWWWWWWWWWW I like CET vanilla mint toothpaste.

| Sounds gross. I hate to take them away from him because he really loves them. Are there any other chews that don't have this ingredient?

| I'm sure there are but I haven't studied much about them because I don't give chews at all.

| Well, I have quite a few reasons. First, any chews with meat product wouldn't make since for us because I homecook for Ellie so she doesn't have to eat year-old meat. These chews with any meat product in them are also a bacterial concern. Next, most, if not all, bones are dangerous. They break off and can either obstruct or irritate the intestines. Chews have horrible ingredients (even plastic and nylon) that I will not let Ellie have. Finally, I don't believe there is much benefit to dental chews for their teeth. I do feed raw veggies.
