The Best Rawhide Alternative For Dogs

Bullibone – A Safer Alternative to Rawhide Dog Chews

When you have a dog, you spend endless time walking the pet isles looking for the right toy or treat for your little furry friend. We also comb through Amazon and various websites to research and figure out what’s good and what’s not. Some things could even pose a danger to your pet’s health. Dogs seem to enjoy rawhide chews, but are they actually safe for them? We are here to help educate you on some of the concerns about the safety of rawhide chews and the methods used to process them.

Rawhide chews are made from animal hides that have been processed and shaped into a chewable size for dogs. The type of animal used for rawhide can differ, but the true concern lies in the conditions under which the animal was raised and how the hide was processed. In some cases, the hides used for rawhide chews may come from animals that were raised in poor conditions, leading to health and welfare concerns. Additionally, rawhide chews may be processed with chemicals to preserve the hide during transport and storage, which can pose a risk to your pet’s health.

One of the main concerns with rawhide chews is that they can become lodged in your pet’s throat or intestines. Obviously, this can be a serious health risk. If a piece of rawhide becomes lodged in your pet’s throat or intestines, it may require emergency veterinary care to remove it. In extreme cases, your pup may need surgery to remove the blockage. But don’t freak out. This isn’t something that happens often, but it can happen.

Another concern with rawhide chews is the use of chemicals in their processing. Chemicals like arsenic and formaldehyde are sometimes used to preserve the hide. Ewww yuck. These chemicals can be harmful to your pet’s health. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen that can induce cancer in both animals and humans. The use of formaldehyde is prohibited in the United States, but that doesn’t stop other countries where it’s allowed from producing products that contain them and selling them to US consumers. It’s also a reason why you should always buy dog toys made in the USA.
