Rawhide bones are great with supervision

I give my lab rawhide dog chews about once or twice a month. He had never choked on one. It is such a shame that other dogs have had such terrible reactions to a rawhide bone.

Dogs get bored, and what will they do to pass the time? They chew, mainly on things that smell like you. I have never had a problem with my lab chewing on anything that wasn't his. I believe that providing activities for your dog, such as chewing on a rawhide bone, is great for boredom busters. Not to mention how great it is for their teeth.

The fact that rawhides can cause a blockage in your dogs stomach or that it can choke them is horrible, but everything we give to our dogs goes straight into their mouths!

Who's to say that the cotton from inside that stuffed animal you just gave them can't do the same, or maybe even the squeaker from inside the stuffed animal.

Let your dog be a dog, and let him chew.
