If you are looking for some better alternatives please reach out. But please do NOT feed your pups anything rawhide!
They can be a little pricy, but I highly recommend Yak chews as an alternative! My favorite part about Yak chews is. Once they get small, no need to throw them away in fear of your pet choking. Wrap them in a wet paper towel, then pop it in the microwave. It turns this hard chew into the texture of a puffy Cheeto! But as always, do your research. It could save you tons of money in vet bills, but could also save your dogs life! 🐾

Please just don't.
Every year the rawhides come out and people who don't understand, buy them for their beloved dogs.
Just don't.
We strive to provide the best for our furry friends, but sometimes what seems like a harmless treat can hide potential dangers. There have been documented cases of dogs with pieces of rawhide lodged in their windpipe, stomach, or intestines, creating choking hazards and an intestinal blockage, gastrointestinal distress, such as vomiting or diarrhea, can occur if rawhide irritates the digestive tract . Since rawhide is a byproduct of leather, some items pose a significant challenge to a dog’s digestive system when it comes to breaking down.
During the manufacturing process, rawhide is often soaked in a cocktail of chemicals to preserve it and enhance its flavor. These chemicals can include formaldehyde or chromium salts, hydrogen peroxide and bleach, which may pose risks to adult dogs and young puppies alike.
Safer alternatives like completely digestible Himalayan yak chews, dehydrated sweet potato chews, or non rawhide chews.
