NO NO NO....to rawhide and greenies.....last Jan (I think) Mojo was on IV for seven days due to blockage of some sort in his poor tummy (intestines). I had to bring in all of his foods and treats. He had greenies and Dingo bones (rawhide) that he loved. The vet was very stern had said NO to these. The greenies, if you cut a small piece off, like what one of our furbabies would bite off, and place it in some water, it triples in size...it doesn't dissolve!!! YUCK!! So, from that horrible experience...we were lucky that the IV fluids and pain meds worked, or else, we were talking about serious surgery!

We love Pixie Stix and Merricks - regarding bully sticks! Merricks can be found online and Pixie Stix are through Beyond Spoiled (Kathyrn_V) on here.

Mojo can only have the natural because the darker ones (with the flavoring, smokey stuff) upsets his tummy and I think they smell too!

COURSE, everyone has their own opinions...I am just talking about my own personal experiences.
