I like bully sticks. I am afriad they will get a piece of the pig ear stuck in their throat.

Originally I started Troy out with Dingo Rawhides. He didnt like them. So we got him bully sticks and a natural bones with sweet potato filling. He likes both and they don't cause runny stools or problems for him. I'm not a fan of pig ears so I'm not sure about those and a yorkie.

Personally I don't do the pig ears. Used to give them to our other dog but noted that the stools were more runny (probably due to the fat content). I give Jack the cow tails (he loves them!!!) and most recently bully sticks and deer antlers. He is teething, so I wanted to give him different choices in texture, etc. to chew on.

Mine don't like the Bully Sticks

But they LOVE the Flossies, Texas Toothpicks and Lamb's Ears --- but I only buy them if they're made by Merrick's.

Pet Mountain is great! They ship SO fast!

Westbrookdog.com has the best and cheapest bully sticks. My dogs love them and best of all, they don't stink.

Mine like the Flossies by Merrick. They can go through one a day. Is this good for them? I don't mind but I don't want them to get sick. I just wish I had bought stock in Merrick!

They don't like the Bully Sticks. So, it's the Flossies!

Pig ears are EVIL! I just got my little guy out of the hospital because he had pancreatitis due to too much fat. I was giving him some cheese as training treats and general snacks not thinking I was overdoing it at all then the other day I gave him some tiny pig ears to snack on and that sent him over the edge!

Those pig ears are in any ways good for dogs! They are extremely high in fat and do not digest well at all like rawhide. He has bully sticks and has chewed on them since a pup and that is all he will get now! I learned it the hard way a $1000/and a vet stay.

Also, rawhide and greenies are no good for them. They do not digest like food - they have to pass through the system.

Sorry to hear about your pup...glad everything is better..

I was giving pig ears to my dog but stopped after reading so many negative stories. I only give bullies and himalayan chews now.
