Rabbit ears and rawhide chews: what to consider

Some dogs enjoy working on a chew; others try to swallow it almost immediately. Your dog's habits matter more than how long a chew lasts for another dog.

Know what you are offering

Furrito rabbit ears with fur contain 100% rabbit ears with fur. The chicken- and duck-wrapped sticks contain a rawhide core with a meat coating. They are different products with different textures, so assess each one separately.

Check size and chewing style

Follow the pack's age and feeding guidance. These products are intended for adult dogs. Avoid a chew your dog can swallow whole, and reconsider the choice if your dog tears off and gulps large pieces. Rawhide can pose choking and digestive blockage risks if pieces are swallowed; it will not suit every dog.

Stay nearby throughout chewing

Offer the chew in a quiet place and supervise the entire session. Remove pieces that have become small enough to swallow or that your dog is trying to gulp. In homes with several dogs, give each dog their own space.

Keep expectations realistic

A chew is a treat, not a complete meal. Rabbit-ear fur is not a substitute for parasite treatment, and ordinary chews should not be presented as proven dental care. If you are unsure about suitability, ask your veterinarian before offering one.
