She just means the edible kind that disintegrate and get digested. They honestly creep me out. They don't look like they should be EATEN. My mother in law gave one to Grover when he stayed with her... he was puking it up for days. (And had some pooping issues to boot!)

I stick with freeze dried liver treats and doggie biscuits for special "Treats" and hard plastic, non-edible Nylabones for chew-time.

I had read in all my bullie books that Nylabones were ok so that's what she has...

to Bully Sticks!! He cringes when I suggest getting some....it's the thought of what they are that gets to him. I've always wanted Chalmer to try them, thanks for the link, maybe I'll just let Chalmer have them when Daddy's not home!!

Theo gets nylabones and loves them.

at least that has been my experience with all of my yelpsx6 gang...so I don't offer them either...(same with the greenies)mine also love the Jumbones...they don't last long..but my gumbo gang can only get tiny bites off at a time...when they get small in the trash....
no rawhides here either..my neighbors dog actually died from a piece lodge ..and my have almost choked..they get slimy and stick to the thoart....ce

I thought those were supposed to be safe for bullies?

their jaws are too strong so they end up breaking pieces off before they dissolve it with their saliva and those can get lodged in their throat. Stick to Nylabones.

http://www.bullysticks.com/ We give bullysticks.

Occasionally I will give the huge pressed rawhide in my presence ONLY . No greenies, no edibly Nylabones and nothing else. I have witnessed Major stuff things down his throat and vomit them back up - a little scarey....

I will never give them.

My poor Bullie, Homer, absolutely loves pigs ears and rawhides, but the silly guy has never quite learned the whole "chewing" thing. If he thinks it is small enough to cram down his throat, he's darn sure going to try. After having to literally pry large remnants out of his throat, we have restricted his rawhide chewing to very large bones. He can chew on these for hours without making a dent. However, when he starts to pry them apart they go into the trash. Many dogs (especially those that understand how to chew before swallowing) do just fine with these "dangerous" treats, but just not my Homer.

Pig ears can break easily, into sharp pieces. Rawhide can be chewed down and choked on too. If you have a large rawhide, and only let the dog have it when you are there to watch, that is fine. But, never leave him unattended with a rawhide. Many Bulldogs have choked on it, or chewed off a piece that they swallow and has caused seriously problems, or death.

thats what Mojo did with those softer nubby nylas...he loved them ..and they were great for when he was using us like a crazed landshark...we just popped of of them in his mouth ..but now..chump..and pieces...so we can not give them to him any more....just food for thought ..so to speak...lol...ce

So I took it away and no more edible nylabones. I bought her a rawhide long stick and I only let her have it when I am with her and I hold it the whole time and trim the ends. Frannie gave that idea.

I agree, plus these are usually processed in a third world country where they do not watch what is used in the processing.
