You saw the episode too? I think I remember the vet saying that
Rocky has had them before, and he does EAT them..so he won't be having anymore. I'm going to get him some bullysticks, but I never see them anywhere and really don't wanna order them online.
I don't buy him rawhides either, but when he goes to my parents house he takes Gizmo's. I just supervise him very closely with them, and as soon as it gets a little soft, I take it away. Also, sometimes our friends will buy him a pack of them, so it's the same with that, he can have it but once it gets soft it's gone..and he's supervised. Never would i give him one and leave him alone with it.
I wonder if the pigskins are dangerous too then
I don't know what to do w/ all these extra pigears and pigskins now.
