| Pigs Ears ??? I read in a post somewhere that pigs ears were bad for our babies. Does anyone here know if this is true? I always have given them to all my kids. Thanks |

| Nikko loves cow ears. Never tried pig ears but I hear pork isn't so good for them. Like with anything else, supervise them whenever you let them chew on anything so as to prevent choking.

| I think I can attest that they'll love and chew on cow's hooves forever. My other dogs have all run across the pasture and stolen horse's hoof trimmings and brought them home - thinking they were worth their weight in gold. They love to chew on them. And, we've never had any problems. Carol Jean |

No to cow hooves they smell like s**t!!!! I just got one for tigger and I had to throw it away because i thought I was going to vomit from the smell. But he loved it. and Pig ears are bad because they can splinter and break off in large chunks causing intestinal upset and possible choking hazards.

| I tried cow hoof's too when I heard about the pig ears being dangerous. Whew the smell when wet..smelled like the whole dead cow had entered the room. I did a "Search" in the forum and there is a post on boiling them first AND just buying the white ones (dark stinks more) and its very detailed. Tried it. Was totally true! No smell, no bad puppy breath..dogs are still working on them 3 weeks later! Wish to THANK the person who took time to detail HOW to prepare the hoofs..To me that is #1 on what this forum is for...sharing info. on and for these wonderful pets of ours. You are a great group. Do the "Search"...the love my dogs have with these hoofs and because they last so long makes the simple act of boiling them...a really tiny bother.
