I'm with you, I have heard too many tales of others losing their dogs to rawhide and/or having upset tummies and I just don't use them. On another board I had a member post about their dog ending up with a bowel obstruction and died from it and another had her dog almost choke to death on a piece of rawhide and she had to reach clear down his throat. Those things scared me too much to want to give them for myself. I think they are treated with something nasty like formaldehyde or something as well to remove the hair. I never used to know that much about it but what I have heard makes me steer clear. I give bullies and sometimes a knuckle bone.

I'm glad to hear Beenie is doing better and no more blood, like the others said it may have just scraped up her insides. Hopefull she won't have that happen any more, silly girl!
