I am glad I don’t give those things any more, one less thing to stress about!! I feel better now not giving them especially with all those recalls!!
The good thing is he doesn’t even miss them!!
Hm I wonder if Peanut would chew on a carrot LOL, I doubt it.. Sounds like a good healthy snack for your babies!! Glad you found something they can enjoy. |
The reason I get Gracie such big bully sticks is just so she can't swallow any of the thing. The smaller sticks and the texas toothpicks can be eaten and that can cause problems. You don't want a dog eating any chew product. Some of the cheaper bully sticks are not processed right and are too soft. Just like with everything else in the pet industry you really have to be careful who you are buying from. It's such a money making business and so many companies are more concerned about profit than quality. Gracie looks kind of funny chewing on a stick that is big as she is but we have never had problems with the brand we are using now and it keeps her out of trouble!
I'm glad to hear Peanut is doing so much better. I know you were quite worried about him for a while.
