Those toxic rawhide bones, pigs ears and smoked bones that you see in pet stores sound so appealing for your dog. The problem is they carry so much bacteria its like a low dose of poison for dogs. This comes from a veterinarian who performed many surgeries on dogs who had these cooked bones stuck in the dog's intestines which could prove fatal.
Even employees who work at factories that package these products have taken ill from their own exposure to these cooked bones and byproducts.
