“They told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them: Do you know what a dog smells like? A dog smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, and pure, unconditional love. And even after everything they’ve been through, they don’t carry any resentment. So, I feel blessed that my house smells like dogs.” Patrick Swayze. A man who loved animals deeply.

**IMPORTANT** ☠️ We cannot say it enough how dangerous these are!!
Please Share this Post ☠️

Every year the rawhides come out in stores and people who don’t understand how very bad they are for the dog, buy them.

We all 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. Also, an intestinal blockage or 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 them 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 as well.

Please think twice before buying these for your pet this Christmas season.

Please do not buy. Throw them away if your dog gets one as a gift. Giving rawhide to a dog is never a good idea.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog “enjoying” some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide 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 colors 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, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.
