| Where is the best place to get dog rawhide bones? I was getting them at Sams club but it looks like they aren't carrying them any longer. |

I agree! My neighbors dog likes to nip at my horses hind legs when I ride by!!! I give them a little rawhide treat every time. Two birds one stone, wait, 2 dogs one stone.. |

| Rawhide bones and chews can be a choking hazard for dogs, and big chunks that aren't fully chewed into small bits can cause intestinal blockages and be life threatening to dogs. Also, unless the bones state they're American made with digestible, natural ingredients, they could be made in China with who knows what for preservatives and chemicals on the hide. |

| Our dog cracked her teeth with rawhide bones. I just paid over $1,600 to have them surgically removed I will never give another dog a rawhide bone. |

You need to really read as many times they say it was packaged in the USA which means nothing. |

| Chicken necks, bully sticks, and raw bones/chicken backs are what mine get. No rawhide here. No antler either. Someone mentioned cracked teeth on rawhide, antler is even worse for that. There is a company called Whimzees that makes potato starch based chews that are hard enough to get a good chew on, but will become gummy once the dog slobbers on it for a bit. |
