    Pig Ears ...

    Does anyone give their dog pig ears? Is it bad for the dog, since they can't have pork...?

    Kia gets them occasionally.

    I don't mind the smell.

    Mickey has these little ones. They don't stink but I hate holding them. I'll be like, "Here Mickey" and whip it acrsso the room

    I didn't think they were bad for him. He doesn't like it much anyways

    my dog is a pig for pig ears! He loves them! But I tend not to give it to him cuz i'm usually flat broke...or I'd rather spend my money on better stuff for him.

    Nope!... no pig ears or rawhide. I'm just not comfortable letting Cisco have these types of chews.

    Nala hasn't had pig ears, yet. Simba loves them, we used to buy the pack of like 3 huge pig ears and cut those into four.

    Tikeya will only eat them if another dog does. I hate them, the thought just makes me sick. poor piggies.

    Since this is the pig ear thread..I thought I'd post some semi-old pics of kai and belle chomping...


    Being the pigdog he is...


    She attempted to steal the pig ear a few times from Kai...she finally got it after about 5 tries. This is belle btw.. (RB)

    I haven't given Ruby any yet, but my old miniature schnauzer, Muffy (RB), used to get the occasionally and she LOVED them. Ruby gets rawhide chews instead.

    They get them occasionally.

    But they'd love to get them all the time

    I don't give my dogs pig ears because I heard that the sharp edges can cut their intestines if they swallow big pieces. Jake wouldn't swallow big pieces, but I could see Max swallowing one in two bites.


    Thanks for the siggy, Lexi_Lover!

    Ive heard that too! I never give pig ears or rawhide, it can really eat up their intestines! It can also make them choke or throw it up.
