Are dog chews safe?
Not all dog chews are created the same and if you’re a pet parent you should be aware of some the dangers that come with giving your pup a chew. Chews found in big box pet stores like raw hides are bleached and can actually cause harm such as cause digestive issues if ingested in large quantities, leading to blockages or other complications.
A great alternative that many pet owners have found success with are natural chews made from gently air dried real animal parts such as beef tracheas, beef ears, pork ears, rabbit ears, rabbit feet, chicken feet, and duck feet. These natural chews not only provide a healthy chewing option for your furry baby, but they also contain important nutrients that promote dental health and satisfy your dog's natural instinct to chew.
It is important to always supervise your dog while they are chewing and if you notice any signs of discomfort or distress, it is best to take the chew away immediately. By being mindful of the type of chew you give to your dog, you can ensure their safety and overall health.
