Oh, and the salmonella thing is a stupid myth that people who are against raw perpetuate to scare you into buying commercial foods. Raw meat doesn't contain any more salmonella than a dog can handle naturally and if you wash your hands after you've fed them, you really shouldn't have a problem with excessive bacteria. Bacteria is natural and it's needed for strong immune systems & the natural order of things. My 4lb Yorkie eats whole chickens without a problem. And she loves it! Quote:
If you know that treats, especially gluten based treats, cause issues, why don't you do a little research into the digestive system of the dog to see what kind of foods would be better suited for their tummies? I personally prefer dehydrated liver for treats because dogs are carnivores. I would urge anyone who gives thin strips of rawhide to their dogs to keep a very close eye on them if you don't want your puppy to choke to death. Rawhide swells with moisture and as soon as your dog's saliva touches it, it starts to swell. I nearly lost my little girl because of a rawhide, and I would never ever recommend it to anyone. This same little girl is the one who eats whole chickens without a problem. Get back to basics, people. It's so simple and easy if you do it the natural way... dogs are carnivores and carnivores love to eat raw bones. Don't waste your money on inedible chew toys that pose risks to your pets and their teeth. YorkieMommy, I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm ripping apart your post, but it's important to be aware of the risks associated with rawhides.
