Hi, anyone found the white raw better for their dogs? I gave archie normal raw hide at first but he broke a bit off and choked, totally freaked us out so we stopped letting him have it, then we found white raw hide chews which seem thicker. Has anyone else found these safer? Or do you think they are very unsafe and give your dogs over things to chew???

(Archies 6 months so he still needs a really good chew to stop him descrutive)

I don't think one choke on a bit of hide is something to be worried about really. We give our dog those little shoes and bones made from hide and he loves them, never had a problem with them. He's a bit fussy with hard treats like that but with the thin ones that soak from his dribble, he can handle them.

I think its up to your dog what he likes, really. Just my opinion.

Mine seem to choke all the time on what ever hides i give em, thro the fact they wanna eat them fast so swalla them down halfway into chewing em.

they int dead yet so i still give em tho

I buy large hide chews and bin them before he gets a chance to try and swallow them. He once swallowed too big a piece which got stuck down his throat he was tearing at his muzzle, in the end my husband had to reach down his throat in and pulled it out.

I also tried him with pigs ears the same thing happened but he was able to cough it out. I threw them away too. I tend to stick with large Jumbo type chews and the chews that are supposed to be good for their teeth.

On a personal note I don't like the coloured chews that the dye comes out of on to carpets, furniture etc and they end up in bits. He only gets those at Christmas when other people buy him them!

pigs ears are the best!

Don't know never tried them!

I must admit he loved them. No doubt I will try him with them again.

Milo won't eat pigs ears or hide chews unless another dog has chewed on them already.

My dog is the same with hide chews. She wont eat them unless someone else has chewed on them alot first.....

Tripe sticks go down very quickly thou.........

We dont ever give ours the hide chews as there is a risk from choking from them Pigs ears are good and tripe sticks as well but be very careful with the hide chews
