My dogs have always gotten raw hides even when I was growing up our dogs always had raw hides.
That being said I must also say that dogs should be watched with them. I let my little guys chew the raw hide peices and bones but take them away after they get them down to a size they could choke on. I never let them have them when I am not going to be home.
My 90lb lab gets them too but big ones he eats the whole thing. He is 9yrs old and has really nice teeth. no yucky build up, his gums are really good, and I have never brushed his teeth or taken him to the vet for a cleaning.
If your dog has had any digestive problems I wouldn't give them raw hides though. |
