| Rawhide Sorry for my threading overload. Do you give your baby rawhides? I give Zoe Hartz dental rawhide minibones (yorkie on the bag) He loves them. I was wondering if anyone else gives their puppies these. How often do you give it to them?

| I've heard too many stories about small dogs choking on those rawide things, so I don't give them. I give mine the ground rawhide sticks. |

| No, I was told it's not good for them, so I never gave it to Princess.

| I was told by my vet many years ago to avoid them and I never did give them to my dogs. Apparently they have caused choking in alot of cases. Greenies are also to be avoided as they get sticky when they are chewed and can lodge in the intestines and cause blockage. |

| Can someone tell me more about bullystix? Tucker cannot have much protein, and the vet said we could check out greenies, but I've heard too many bad things about them ,and my boys aren't too crazy for nylabones. Is there much in the bullystix?

| I give Tigger rawhide, I just make sure to throw it away when they get small. I prefer using the Compressed rawhide simply because it doesn't chunk off and it lasts a lot longer. If you're not comfortable giving your baby rawhide. I recommend Booda Cornstarch Velvets and/or bimples. They crumble and are fully digestable and they come in an asst of sizes and flavors.

| nopeee...you shouldn't give them rawhides...yorkies have such fragile throats....fragments may get caught in their little throats.

For those wondering what they are... BULLY STICK INFORMATION: Bully Sticks are also referred to as "Bullies", "Bull Sticks", "Pizzles" and "Beef Chews". Bullysticks are 100% Bull penises. No additives, Smoked for your dogs pleasure. lol You asked. No rawhides here. Not worth the risk.
