If it says rawhide - don't buy it. They can swallow the pieces and they are not digestible and the pieces can actually swell inside of their bodies and cause an obstruction. I used to give the dingo bones to Chip all the time before I learned about this. Now I only give my boys bully sticks or natural bones. Be weary of pig's ears too - they are natural but really high in fat. Some dogs are okay with it, but others get sick from them. We gave one to Chip and he loved it, but threw up several times after chewing on it.
