| Rawhides are animal hides that are cured, pressed and
molded into bone shapes and sold as inexpensive chew treats for dogs. Many
manufacturers cure the hides with harsh chemicals; such as, an ash-lye
solutions, lime and/or bleach. If the curing process is not enough to help you
decide whether or not to feed your dog rawhide, consider the digestive problems
of rawhides. Prolonged chewing can cause rawhides to become stringy or break
off in small pieces, which can lead to a choking hazards or throat irritations.
Rawhides are digested very slowly and can cause intestinal problems, even
blockages. There are safe and healthy alternatives to rawhide that can give
your dog hours of chewing pleasure: try Life's Abundance Porkhide Bones and
