What carcinogenic chemicals do they use??????

It gets worse!! I tried to find treats that weren't full of crap... some of them are like feeding your dog a bar of chocolate! So then what is good for treats??

google titanium dioxide...one of many chemicals used in processing of raw hide chews in certain countries.

depends on the value you want the treat to hold. a handfull of their daily kibble for training. or you can boil and then bake/dry liver to make high value treats or just buy dried chicken fillets from some good dog feed stores.

for chews we use:

Hi i have looked at the sticks and they do look like a really good option to the hides. Have looked on the website but they are out of stock. What sort of price are they??

It is a bit like if we thought about all the things that are bad for us in what we eat... well we would all starve!!! as they say a bit of what you fancy does you good.... not sure if that includes Pizzle Sticks though....
I suppose it saves the willies being thrown away! Mind you been checking out some prices......... who knew a dried bulls willy would cost soooooo much???? Loaded question i know

I found some for £19 free p+p,
I just google Pizzle sticks and find the cheapest.
I find them very good for a picking up snack. (for the dogs that is )

You lot are just all talking a load of old bull......................
