Comment RSSrawhide VS real bones
29.10.09 # 20:06 # Nutrition # 3 CommentsI have been asked if I give my dogs rawhide bones and the answer is yes. But let me explain… Rawhide comes in a variety of forms including rawhide bones in all sizes, compressed rawhide, rawhide chews in different shapes and sizes… I agree with the manufacturers that rawhide dog bones are good for the teeth and that they help to remove plaque. Besides they are a great choice if you need to keep your dog occupied inside on a rainy day or if you live in a apartment. However I think that raw bones are the better choice! It certainly is messier and you obviously can’t feed a raw meaty bone to your dog on the living room carpet but outside it is all good. So I think if you have the outside space you should feed fresh raw bones but if you don’t, rawhide bones are a good alternative – when it comes to your dogs dental hygiene. When we are talking about dog nutrition I would say nothing is as good as a fresh, raw meaty bone!
Rawhide chews...
Raw meaty bone - obviously...

My dog used to enjoy rawhide bones but it’s all over since I introduced her to “real” bones (partly after reading your blog
) … I still had some left which I tried to give her – you should have seen her face!!!!! lol
Well, if I was a dog I would do the same. I mean, come on – RAWHIDE!! That can’t be tasty…
Hi there!
I know the whole concept of rawhide doesn’t sound too tasty… But the dogs I know seem to like it as long as there is no real bone around!!!
