| Pig's ear for Yorkies? A family member gave me a pig's ear for Bailey and just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? Much thanks! |

| My dogs always loved them but if they eat the whole thing they can get a tummy ache. I quit giving them to mine years ago.

YT 2000 Club Member | I asked my vet about the pigs ears and they all said "NO"! They sell them but are not recommended for these little ones!

| Are they made in china? Anything made in China can be very bad for your dogs.

| Several years back we had some dogs that loved pig ears. Now almost all pet treats are processed in China and who knows what they put on them! I don't think a small dog like a Yorkie could handle all the greasy fat in a pig ear anyway. I buy bully sticks for Gracie from Best Bully. They are grown, processed and baked in the USA. It is the only chew items she is allowed to have and she has never had a problem with them. |

| My butcher makes them (on site) so I'll get one and have them cut it in half for her. She loves it. I limit her time eating it because she won't eat her reg. food. I also toss it when it gets too small so she doesn't choke on it.
