A word about rawhide: My Boston Terrier, Buster, was a champion chewer. He could destroy the “indestructible” in a few minutes. Once, I happened to look over at him, and he was choking to death on a rawhide “bone” that he had managed to untangle and had tried to swallow. Most of it was down his throat, with just enough hanging out of his mouth for me to pull on.
If I hadn’t been home, I would have found him dead. That was the end of me buying rawhide. Ever.
Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom and your fabulous drawings. I also found your “Scoop on 💩” at the back of your calendar to be a very useful tool. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this information. I recently adopted two small dogs, and I love them with all my heart. I’m a better pack leader for knowing this lifesaving maneuver.

Thank you for this thoughtful and helpful post. Hope I never have to use it but the visuals will surely come back to me if I do.
Thanks
Thanks for the information. Some of it was a refresher and some brand new
