Does Dingo Rawhide Munchy Stixs cause diarrhea?

Question:

Answer: Any rawhide chew can cause a variety of problems for your dog. Here is why. Your dog chews on the rawhide (obviously) It becomes wet and soft and is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. He/she leaves it for awhile. The bacteria grows and when he/she starts to chew it again, bingo!! ingest the bacteria.These bacteria can cause problems from diarrhea to intestinal bleeding. Especially if your dog buries it and comes back in a day or two digs it up and starts to chew it again. I never recommend rawhide. I don't know who came up with it but it is a big hazard for dogs. I always tell my customers to purchase something VERY hard. There are a number of products on the market. I won't advertise a particular one here but you can find them everywhere now. They are virtually impossible for your dog to get soft and mushy. There are some with breath freshener too!!! You should be able to find them at any Pet Store. Get rid of the rawhide Please.
