Is Rawhide safe for my dog?
One of the major medical schools in the US conducted a laboratory test to answer this question. The results showed that in groups of test dogs, even in those fed rawhide 3 times a day, there were no ill effects. Although choking or intestinal obstruction with rawhide could potentially occur, it is quite rare, and common - sense prevention measures should be taken.Make sure you select the appropriate size for your dog. It is important that the chew is large enough and thick enough that your dog cannot easily chew off and swallow a large piece or swallow the whole chew. When the chew has been enjoyed down to a small portion, we recommend that you remove the remains. Rawhide that requires more than 5 days to chew should be discarded.
What are the ingredients in Edible Chews?

What size chew should I give my dog?
It is important to select the appropriate chew type, size, and formulation based on your dog's age, breed, chewing style, and weight. The pressure exerted by a strong chewer's jaw is considerable, and when directed straight down can put tremendous (as much as 450 psi) stress on the dog's teeth. It is therefore recommended that non - edible chews be large enough to encourage chewing from the side rather than the top and bottom. If you have more than 1 dog in your household, select chews appropriate for the largest, strongest chewer.
When should I replace my dog's favorite Non - Edible Nylabone chew?
