| I heard rawhide and Pig ears are no good from my breedre and then my vet....BUT last night the trainer at Petsmart also says he does not encourage small dogs eating pig ears or rawhide...they can cause blockage and rawhide can not break down causing intesinal problems in small dogs...they now make compressed rawhide (Dingos)..whixh is easier to digest but he still said it's a no-no for small dogs in his opinion!!! If you need something for him to chew buy Bullwrinkles..they come curly or staright and take a few days plus are 100% digestible but they do smell stinky!!!

| No pig ears! Choking Hazard... My breeder gave me pig ears to give BeanSprout.... I did the night he came home with me at exactly 14 weeks (and 5lbs)! Well, he is an aggressive chewer. He ripped it to shreds in 30 minutes, and he choked. I literally had to reach down his throat and get bits out I will NEVER,NEVER give him treats like that again. Nylabones for Beanie exclusively |

| A friend of mine gave her pup ( non yorkie) a couple of these on Sat. then all of Sat. night the dog ,, projectile vomitted until 4:30, in the morning, and layed around on Sun. She called the vet and he said that alot of dogs are allergic to them, and that is what happened, to her dog. Just an FYI...for ya.

| We haven't ever used them because our lab is afraid of them!! He would bark and growl like crazy. I also think they feel greasy to the touch and I don't want that all over my carpet. (Tucker puts enough stuff on it already)
