your opinion... I have heard several times on here not to give yorkies raw hides because of the choking risk. our other 2 dogs are bigger and LOVE them. we give them to them quite often. well, I refuse to give maggie one because of the possible risk but she is constantly wanting to take them from our other dogs. I feel so bad not giving her one. what are your opinions on rawhides? do you give them? do you agree with the choking hazard? Is there something similar I can buy for maggie that she would love....BESIDES THE BULLY STICKS ?? :) thanks for your help, again :) |
not just the choking risk with the raw hides but also it is not digested and it gathers in the stomach. I gave given mine the chew-eeze that i found in walmart. they look like raw hide. they have chicken and beef flavors. mine love the chicken flavor. Ahia got hooked on these things and i don't give her one for a long time in between. she loves them. |
Cali likes to chew on the rawhide sticks but I always watch her and when she gets a piece all soggy and close to being able to swallow it I cut it off and give it back to her. |
Rawhides can also cause a blockage in the intestine. My vet says the rawhide that is crumbled then pressed together (can't think what it's called) won't cause blockages, but can still pose a choking hazard. I don't give any kind of rawhides to any of my dogs just to be safe. Here's a site with some info on the hazards of rawhides: http://www.bdnhumanesociety.com/rawhides.htm |
thanks for all the helpful info. I would rather be safe than sorry so she will not be getting any :) in fact, we may have to find something else for the other dogs too. just to be safe :) |
