Why is rawhide bad for dogs?

Rawhide can be bad for dogs due to some common rawhide risks. First and foremost, rawhide is indigestible, so it may cause stomach upsets or even obstructions (including choking hazards) if large pieces of it are ingested. Secondly, there are salmonella contamination risks associated with rawhides. Finally, rawhides may be too tough for certain dogs to chew, raising the risk of tooth damage, especially in puppies and seniors.

Look for rawhide-free dog treats made from all-natural, wholesome and easy to digest ingredients with few additives. Be sure to also choose rawhide-free dog bones and chews that aren't too hard, as too-hard treats can cause tooth damage and pain for your pup. Your vet may be able to recommend some good rawhide alternative chews and advise you on how to safely use them.

Are rawhide-free chews safe for dogs?

Rawhide-free chews can be broken into smaller pieces in the eating process as opposed to rawhide; this reduces the risk of bowel blockages and digestion issues. Rawhide-free chews also reduce your pup's risk of choking. Always supervise your dog while they're enjoying a chew or treat, regardless of what kind of treat your dog is munching or chewing.

Are rawhide-free dog chews digestible?

Rawhide-free chews are usually considered to be more digestible than treats containing rawhide, which have been known to swell in the digestive tract. Rawhide-free chews also may be considered an excellent alternative for pups with sensitive stomachs.
