Rawhide can be bad for your pet’s health
Unfortunately, many people buy rawhide for their pet as a natural alternative for certain toys, but it seems that these items can damage your pet’s teeth. If your pet swallows small pieces of rawhide, they can develop gastrointestinal problems as well.Â
“I am not a fan of rawhides nor have I spoken to a veterinary dentist that recommends them. They are too hard and can cause severe damage to the teeth, such as fractures or damage to the inside of the tooth,” said Romero.Â
“The pieces of rawhide can become quite small and may be easily swallowed, leading to potential problems like vomiting and diarrhea,” said Ahn.

That was interesting but not helpful. I know not to buy hard
or soft or with strings, rope squeakers or stuffed. But you failed to describe what is good and WHY your choices are far better than all the things we mortals have given our pets. I usually don’t bother to follow questions that take you on and on but we do have a new stray rescue that was rescued and then given to us. I doubt you will respond, but a bit of help not just “don’ts” like teens need…don’t this and that and a dozen other things, but where are the parents whose house is open to all their kids’ friends and teach what is fun but still a good thing to do. Yes, decades ago our house was where the kids were welcome, now in our sons homes, kids are supervised and welcome. One teen we knew had a goodbye saying to her parent’s admonition…Parents would say, “Be Good and have Fun”,,,,Teen’s reply with “attitude”, “which is it, Be good or have Fun?” Many teens think that way. A Cat and Dog owner and rescuer of kids and pets over 80 yrs old and a marriage of over 60 years marriage to one man. That silly old fashioned couple. Sue
