| Are cow hoofs ok for yorkies to chew on? My baby is constantly trying to steal my big dog's cow hoof to chew on and I am wondering if it is ok for him to have one of his own? I have spent a small fortune trying to find something that Duffy likes to chew (nyla bones, etc.) with not much success. How about rawhide bones? Thanks for any info/input. |

| oh NO NO NO NO NO rawhides PLEASE!!! as long as your pup is over 6 months the cow hoof is ok.. but ONLY under supervision... it takes two seconds for them to choke.. been there!! as long as it is natural it's ok no rawhides or greenies tho... you can search on here for the horror stories! |

| I've often wondered that too (about cow hooves and pigs ears) since our Australian Shepherd gets those occasionally but Tatum doesn't seem interested in them so I haven't asked. We swear by bully sticks! Try those! But definitely no Greenies or rawhide.

| Cow hooves can also get stuck on their bottom jaw...been there and it was pretty scary! I haven't given them one since. |

| I used to let Gracie chew on one until I saw her breaking off small pieces of the thing. I was worried she would choke on them so I took it away. I do give her the new formula greenies once in a great while, but she is so content with bully sticks I give her those most of the time.
