Sadly rawhide chews are one of the most popular chews for pets. Many dogs can chew on rawhide for hours at a time, but did you know they are very dangerous.

When they are chewed they go soft and become wet and sticky, posing a choking hazard.

Many pet owners believe that rawhide is a dried up meat chew stick or a by-product of the beef industry, but it is actually a by-product of the leather industry, so it is essentially a leather chemical laden chew. Scientists have also found lead, arsenic, mercury, and other toxic chemicals in rawhide chews which can cause negative long-term health effects to your dogs.

What can you give your dogs instead of rawhide?

We suggest treating your pets to complimentary treats such as a snuffle mat filled with SUPER SPRINKLES. Or why not give our TASTY FISH CHEWS or CANINE CLEANERS a try!
