Wouldn't you know...one day, she came over to me at top speed, looking desperate and making a sort of whining sound. I stuck my finger back in her throat and felt just the tip of one of those strips that was NOT going down.

I couldn't get hold of it, so I pushed it back hard and felt it go in. She was happy and all was okay, except, of course, for my nervous system. Geez.

Needless to say, I'm scared of them now. I'm sure they're fine for a different type of chewer...but definitely not my little Zo. Too bad, too...she absolutely adored them.
Thank you for sharing -- this is my concern. Most dogs I'm sure are okay with them, but some are just nuts with what they are willing to try swallowing. Maybe I could try holding onto it while he chews.
