The thing w/bully sticks is that it's 100% digestible (I don't know how it can be when it's all slippery & leathery!) but rawhide is not. Mimi swallowed a big chunk of raw hide when she was a pup & I was worried sick for days but luckily she was fine. I have no idea if it's still in there or she passed it. So no more rawhide. I take any chew away if it's reached about 2". I've had too many close calls w/Momo almost choking. Taking the chew away from him is a challenge! He runs away from me & I have to corner him in a room w/ the door closed. Even then, he won't let go of his chew lolll! I need to take out the nail clipper & act like I'm going to clip his nails & then he'll let it go. He knows the 'drop it' command, but he will ignore it. I just gave them the beams & they love it! Got the 12" ones, so I cut 1 up in little pieces & gave it to them. It's really chewy, Mimi & Princess chewed it like it's gum lolll. Such funny girls, they always smell their food b4 they eat it & actually enjoys tasting it. Whereas the boys just gulps it down. The smell is not too bad, it is fishy but doesn't reek. |
