Rawhide...
The word that makes me cringe!
It won't be long till pet shops will start having things like this on their shelves!
Raw hide is not a product of the meat industry, it's a product of the leather industry!
They bleach and glue raw hide to make these shapes.
How It’s Made
“Producing rawhide begins with the splitting of an animal hide, usually from cattle. The top grain is generally tanned and made into leather products, while the inner portion, in its “raw” state, goes to the dogs.” The Bark
It isn't digestible, and can often go stringy meaning it can get stuck down your dogs throat. There are so many alternative chews that are long lasting.
-pizzles
-hooves
-horns
-antlers
-tendons
-ears
-yak chews
All these are totally natural and will not hurt your dog.
If you love them do not buy rawhide and let's help by not purchasing them put an end to the rawhide industry! Mostly made in China also, where they have very minimal standards for things such as rawhide.
Wanted to add to this post as its gone so far which is incredible! Just because you haven't had any issues feeding it, or "your dogs been fine for years" doesn't mean its okay!
You now know how it's made and how dangerous it is. So please don't comment that your dog has been fine, its your choice to feed this and put your dog at risk, that's fine, but wouldn't it be so sad if something did happen, for the sake of an extra couple of pounds, buy them something safer and healthier to chew on.
