In any case it is good you cut the gooey parts off. Perhaps you picked up some bully sticks instead??? They are considered a safer alternative to rawhide as they do digest if a piece is swallowed. |
Attached is a photo of what I bought and what I understood to be pencil thin rawhide sticks. This is very confusing, but I do not think they are bully sticks, but perhaps I am wrong. I did ask about bully sticks, thinking that was what I probably would buy and the shop owner told me they would also be too hard on his teeth.
Apologies, don't mean to hi-jack thread, but maybe this is helpful to others within the discussion as well.
