| The CET site has ingredient lists. It rings a bell... Well, their site isn't cooperating, so: C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Chews For Dogs: Pet Dental Chews - 1800PetMeds CET VeggieDent Chews Regular for Dogs (30 chews) CET Hextra Veterinary Quality Dental Dog Chews It's beefhide except for the veggie ones. And here is a description of beef hide: Pet factory - Frequently Asked Questions It's a form of rawhide.

If you are with pup and they aren't really getting anything off, then it is very minimal risk. Even being in the same room though, I found that not to be enough for Ellie. She had gotten a large piece off of rawhide and swallowed it even though I was right there trying to get it from her. It sticks in their mouth quite well. And that soggy/stickiness probably isn't favorable to the esophagus or perhaps even the trachea. The only thing allowed here is Nylabone under supervision.

Also most rawhides come from China don't they? That alone would make me not give them. I've had a hard time before looking for bullys not from China.

| I don't give rawhides in other forms and just recently started giving the CET chews with the okay from the veterinary dentist. I feel pretty safe with them. I haven't noticed them to get really gross and goopy like other rawhides have; Jackson choked on one around 6 months of age and really scared the crap out of me. They tend to get real soggy and then they try to swallow them and they get stuck in the throat. We grew up with a Golden who used to inhale them and they would come out in her poop, it was pretty gross. They never digested, would come out as is. I'm pretty sure they are just not as digestible, if at all. I'm not a fan of rawhides but the CET chews are pretty thin (even the large size, which is what we use for 16lb Jackson) and don't seem to be a big issue because Jackson eats them slowly. I do think it's more of a problem when you have a dog who enjoys swallowing big pieces, it sits in the stomach for days before digesting fully.

Although, I have been giving them this peanut butter bone thing from a brand called Pur Love, made in the US. The other night Smokey was gagging and coughing up a fit in the middle of the night, and threw up a bit. I turned on the light and saw a piece of the PurLove bone, about 1/2" long and halved lengthwise. I hadn't given them any of those bones since two days prior! And those are all food product. So I'm not giving those anymore either. So frustrating!

| Was just going to post an update on Gizmo with the CET chews. He seems to be doing okay on them. No upset tummy, and it's kind of his cool down at night. I also hold them to make sure they're chewed and not gulped. Also, his breath is starting to smell not so....Fishy. So, so far so good!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | It sounds like some are made of rawhide and would make her throw up. Maybe you could try the veggie chews?

| CET chews (other than the veggie-dent) are rawhide...just treated with antiseptic to make mouth smell fresh.
