I guess in his rush to make sure that Lilly didn't steal it from him, he actually ate it. So, every piece of rawhide and compressed rawhide was thrown out. Now I just buy the actual smoked bones from Petco. They last until you decide to throw them out and yet they will sit there and chew on them for hours. I have seen quite a few posts regarding how bad rawhides are, but none about the smoked bones.....if you all know of any reasons I shouldn't be giving these to them, please be sure to tell me!

Hi Jen
I give these smoked bones to my Tango too (haven't got one for Gypsy yet but I'm going to) He absolutely loves them! The only thing I have noticed is that if he's had one for a long time he can wear them down til they're quite sharp around the edge. One time I noticed a little blood on the bone so I think he was actually cutting his little gums a bit. So now I just keep an eye on them and if they get too sharp I just chuck it and give him a new one.
