Rawhide Chews: A risky Treat
Dr. Villanueva warns that rawhide chews are made from processed animal hides that undergo chemical treatment and drying processes, making them perhaps harmful for pets.
“Dogs struggle to digest thes chews properly; large pieces can expand in their stomachs or intestines, leading to choking hazards or blockages requiring emergency surgery,” she explains.”Additionally, they pose risks of broken teeth and bacterial infections.”
Instead of rawhides, Dr. Villanueva suggests opting for veterinarian-approved dental chews or durable rubber toys like KONG products.
