Day 13- Rawhide

There are many treats available on the market for our dogs and at this time of year we can get the stockings filled with rawhide chews for our dogs. Over the last few years people have been starting to steer clear of rawhide due to the chemicals being used to create the colours but that is not the only hazard that rawhide poses.

The main issue is that rawhide is indigestible, which means it has to pass through the digestive tract completely and risks causing an obstruction along the way.

If you do give your dog rawhide make sure they are supervised at all times, but in many cases it is better to stay away from it completely.
