My dog, he likes to eat, you know? Always sniffing around for a bite of this and that. I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout raw pig ears for dogs. Sounds kinda funny, but they say it’s good for ’em.
My neighbor, she’s got a big ol’ dog, always chewin’ on somethin’. She gave him a pig ear the other day, and he went hog wild for it! Kept him busy for a good long while, it did. So, I got to thinkin’, maybe my little fella would like one too.
Is Raw Pig Ears Good for Dogs?
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I heard that these raw pig ears, they’re better than them dried-up ones. Some folks say them dried ones, the rawhide I think it’s called, they ain’t so good. They get all gooey and such, not good for the dog’s insides.
- Chewin’ is good for dogs, keeps their teeth clean.
- Raw pig ears, they’re natural, like what dogs would eat in the wild.
- But you gotta watch ’em, make sure they don’t choke.
They say the chewin’ helps with their teeth, like a toothbrush. Scrapes off all that gunk, you know? That’s what them vet folks say, anyways. And it keeps ’em occupied, ‘stead of chewin’ on my slippers! My dog, he loves to chew my slippers, the little rascal.
How Often Can Dogs Have Pig Ears?
Now, you can’t just be givin’ ’em pig ears all the time. Gotta be careful. Like with anything, too much of a good thing ain’t good, right? I reckon maybe once or twice a week is enough. My friend says she only gives it to her dog as a special treat sometimes.
Some folks even said they boil the pig ears. Like cookin’ a bone for soup. Make ’em softer, maybe safer for the dog. I don’t know if it really helps, but some people swear by it.
Keep an Eye on Your Dog
When they’re chewin’ on it, you gotta keep an eye on ’em. Don’t want ’em chokin’ on a big piece. Dogs, they can be kinda dumb sometimes, tryin’ to swallow things whole. Just like kids, gotta watch ’em like a hawk!
I seen my dog try to swallow a whole chicken bone once. Scared me half to death! Had to fish it out of his throat. So yeah, gotta be careful with these pig ears, just like with any bone. This made me worried about giving pig ears to my dog.
Some dogs, they might get a tummy ache from these pig ears. Like when you eat too much greasy food, you know? Gives you the runs. So if your dog starts actin’ funny after eatin’ one, maybe it ain’t for him.
I heard some folks sayin’ that pig ears are good for cleanin’ a dog’s teeth. Like a toothbrush, but tastier, I reckon! They say it scrapes off all that gunk that builds up. And it is true, my dog likes it.
Buying Good Pig Ears
You gotta buy the good kind of pig ears. Not them cheap ones that look all nasty. Gotta make sure they’re clean and, you know, not rotten or somethin’. Don’t want your dog gettin’ sick from a bad pig ear. But it is hard to find, I wish there was a good place that sells good quality ones.
I’m gonna try givin’ my dog a raw pig ear one of these days. See how he likes it. If he does, maybe it’ll be his new favorite treat. Just gotta remember to watch him close and not give him too many.
My dog is always chewin’ on somethin’. Shoes, sticks, you name it. He’s a good boy, but he sure does love to chew. Maybe these raw pig ears will give him somethin’ better to chew on. This way, he won’t eat my shoes.
These dogs, they’re like family, you know? You want what’s best for ’em. So you gotta do your research, make sure you’re givin’ ’em the right stuff. That is how I started thinking about pig ears in the first place. I just want what’s best for my dog.
I remember my old dog, bless his soul, he used to love chewin’ on bones. Kept him happy and his teeth clean. Maybe these pig ears will do the same for my new dog. I miss my old dog a lot.
Dogs are a lot of work, but they’re worth it. They give you so much love and they’re always there for you. So the least you can do is make sure they’re happy and healthy, right? And if a raw pig ear helps with that, then so be it! I will do anything for my dog. He is my best friend.
