Do you own a Basset hound or other breed canine? If so, have you ever wondered what kind of treats you can give him to keep him preoccupied and happy? For years rawhide was one of the most popular treats used to keep dogs busy for hours. Rawhide; however, is not safe for all dogs. For instance, rawhide doesn’t affect all dogs equally. Some dogs can digest rawhide while others cannot. Some owners have found rawhide to give their dog skin allergies or even irritate their pet’s stomach. Encouraging your dog to chew on treats can help relieve boredom and anxiety as well as prevent tarter build up on the teeth. Talk to your vet about treats that use rawhide alternatives such as organic vegetables. One particular brand of dog treats known as SmartBones offers bones that look like rawhide, but are in fact made of veggie alternatives. Ask your vet Raleigh, NC what would work for your dog.
