If you have a smaller sized dog--Please read my posting from today in the "Shih Tzus" category, it could save your pets life!

I'm so sorry about your loss. There are several dangers associated with Rawhide. Most, if not all, are made from hides that are tanned outside the U.S. and any dog can swallow an unchewed piece that can swell any where in their digestive tract. I would love to be able to give my Rottweiler a rawhide or natural bone; he would love it. I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened b/c I'm aware of the potential dangers. Hopefully you will save another dogs life. Again I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss. Mine get rawhide all the time, usually the pressed rawhide that way they can not bite a large peice off and swollow it. I have never had a problem with it, but I never give the bones. I have seen so many dogs in our kennel bite off the end and chew on it. The only real rawhide I give are the flat chips, and when it gets small I take it away.

I hope time eases the pain

I don't know why you guys are saying "sorry for your loss" She clearly states in the other post that she nearly lost her dog, but saved her just in time....just an observation.

I am glad you were able to save her. I can't imagine how scary that was! That's exactly why I watch my dogs like hawks when ever they chew on anything. You just never know! Rawhides, bones, treats, toys...they all have the ability to be dangerous and deathly! Thank goodness you were right there to help save her life and get her to the vet!!

I too misread the post, glad I wasn't the only one Illusions. Still I'm sorry you went through that and it's wonderful that your baby is ok.

I'VE HEARD THAT GREENIES CHEW BONES ARE ALSO BAD. THEY SPLINTER OFF AND DO DAMAGE TO YOUR DOGS THROAT.

It's not just greeies. ANYTHING can be dangerous. You just have to watch your dog and learn it's chewing habbits!
