These chews are popular. They last an age, they’re cheap and dogs love them. So you’d assume they’re a good thing, right? Not
necessarily...
The truth is, it’s risky giving your dog a rawhide chew. It’s possible you could do so without any harm coming to them, which is the case thousands of times a day across the country – but when there
are safer alternatives, we recommend avoiding rawhide.
Why? Well, we’ve highlighted the reasons in this article: Is Rawhide Bad for Dogs?
Now, before any rawhide fans send me angry emails, this is just our opinion, as well as that of many experts, and there’s no judgment. It’s your call whether you give your dog rawhide chews or something else — as you'll see from the article, it's not a black and white issue. Whatever you
choose, though, always supervise their chewing — you don’t want to be absent if they choke.
You might also want to discuss the matter with your vet and get their opinion.
I hope that’s given you something to chew on, metaphorically this time.
