Of all the lovely treats out there, please, please, please do not buy anything RAWHIDE as treats. They are not your or dogโs friend.
๐จ ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ก๐ regarding the many pet stores are now starting to stock for dogs. Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over . ๐ถ๐คข

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.
On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde. If that wasn't bad enough, ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฏ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐, ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด.
The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.
Please leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog/s, ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป!
