I think it is interesting that there are currently 2 threads running concurrently. Bully Sticks (don't let your puppy eat this or that) and Weird things eaten (just try to keep your puppy from eating this or that) For every person that says don't feed rawhide Bully sticks pigs ears etc. someone does. This is huge business and millions must be sold each year for them to continue to manufacture and market these things. I think that there is danger and risk in everything we do and for every bully stick eaten or remote control that disappears most dogs will pass the final product without problem and an unlucky few will need surgery. I have a good friend who I've known for the last 25 yrs that has always fed her dogs cooked bones (each year they get the turkey carcass or if we have ribs the bones) without incident. I cringe when she does it but to date there has never been an issue for her dogs. This doesn't mean I do it but I can't convince her that it is dangerous. I think we have to accept the fact that s**t happens and some of us are just going to hit that unlucky wall regardless of how careful we are or what we do. Surely raising dogs is just an issue of common sense and a bit of luck.
