🤨 DONT GIVE YOUR DOGS RAWHIDE 😤

Shared from Johnny Morgan

Rawhide chews are not Christmas gifts; they are unplanned Emergency vet visits just waiting to happen!

Thank you to Morthland Animal Clinic for this.

They are terrible for dogs but stores sell them because people keep buying them. Rawhide is harmful because from processing with irritating chemicals, the small choking hazard pieces, the swallowed pieces sit in the stomach and then irritate your dog's stomach for months or form a complete blockage from a big piece or several smaller pieces clumping together in the dog's intestines.

Canine intestinal blockage or foreign body surgery costs about 2-3k in this area to treat an obstruction. That £7 candy cane rawhide doesn't look so cute now, does it?

These are the most common rawhide risks:

Contamination. As with pet toys, rawhide chews can contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals. And, as with other pet (or human) foods, Salmonella or E. coli contamination is possible. Even humans can be at risk when coming into contact with these bacteria on rawhide treats.

Digestive irritation. Some dogs are simply sensitive or allergic to rawhide or other substances used in their manufacturing processes. This can cause problems, including diarrhea and vomiting.

Choking or blockages. Rawhide bones and other edible chews can pose a choking and blockage risk. In fact, this is a much bigger risk than contamination or digestive irritation. If your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide, the rawhide can get stuck in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract. Depending on its size and where it is located, a local vet may be able to remove these pieces fairly easily through the throat. But sometimes, abdominal surgery is needed to remove them from the stomach or intestines. If it isn’t resolved, a blockage can lead to death.

It doesn't take much. Similar to the way small pieces of hair clog a drain, the small pieces of rawhide can clump and block your dog similar to the various items pictured in the first photo below. This is usually a hard thing to diagnose because rawhide is skin. Xrays don't show skin very well so usually a contrast study with barium is needed. Typically a barium study runs £500-900 in this area. Once the blockage is found then the surgery or endoscopic retrieval can be done. The best-case scenario is your dog is puking and pooping out the pieces and this can be painful it there's a pointed piece that injures the tissues on its way out.

Please save your dog some pain and yourself hours waiting at the vets and thousands of pounds!

Don't buy rawhide!
