I won't do it again if there is a danger to them. 18. １月 2007, 23:53:14 件名: Re:pigs ears This from a dog safety site: dogs can easily choke on it when the original large rawhide object is chewed down to a smaller piece. “Choking is a hazard, and rawhide can cause gastric irritation when dogs chew on it often,” he says. Wedeking adds that gastric irritation can also cause vomiting and extreme discomfort in dogs. 'Tests on imported pet products made from animal hides by UK health authorities revealed many carried the salmonella bug, a common cause of gastro-intestinal infections in humans." "They found that one in three batches imported from Thailand and one in eight from China contained salmonellas that had survived processing and manufacturing" this from dog.com R A W H I D E S, C O W H O O V E S, & P I G S ' E A R S These well-liked dog treats are purchased in large numbers, especially around holidays, by well-meaning dog owners hoping to give their pets something special. These toys are favorites for many dogs and are popular with owners because they keep their pets occupied and supposedly out of trouble during holiday activities. There are definite risks associated with these treats, however. All three types are supposedly made of digestible animal products. However, they are digested quite slowly and, if consumed rapidly, can cause either vomiting or diarrhea from the many pieces still sitting undigested in the GI tract. If the treats are swallowed whole or in large chunks, there are additional dangers. Rawhide chews can lodge in the throat and cause choking, or a large piece may be swallowed, scraping and irritating the throat and esophagus on the way down. Once in the stomach or intestinal tract, a large piece of rawhide can also create a physical obstruction. An additional danger that is less widely known is the practice, in some countries, of using an arsenic-based preservative in the processing of rawhide toys. We recommend that, if you do purchase these products, stick to brands processed in the U.S. There has also been a recent FDA alert about the risk of Salmonella accociated with dog chew products made from pork or beef-derived materials: refer to the FDA advisory or call 1-888-INFO-FDA. See below (discussion on pigs' ears) for more details. I had no idea.. I'll make sure I talk to my local pet store about it. they sell ears by the bucket load.. they are an awesome store who arent just in it for the money. They sell all types health products for pets.. 19. １月 2007, 02:06:17 件名: Re:pigs ears Rose: Thanks for that info Rose! I will certainly be more careful when purchasing any chew treats for my babies!! 19. １月 2007, 19:33:18 件名: Re:pigs ears anastasia (19. １月 2007, 19:33:53)に変更されました。 Rose: We give Damien "almost pig ears" a better alternative to real pig ears.We use to give the real ones to Patch,he loved them but the fat is so high in them. Damien loves his rawhide and we usually let him have a bone at all times..BUT..that said,he is NEVER EVER unsupervised while eating one and if he does chew chuncks off,in the trash they go.He is an agressive chewer and we have to keep him with chew things at all times,lol |
