Better watch those pig ear dog treats...my vet says NOT to give them to your dog as they carry diseases that can kill dogs. It was my dog’s favorite treat, until the vet said not to give them to him.

Mornin' Gail

Hadn't heard the disease angle to pig's ears. My Labs love them, too. I had heard that they present a choking hazard to some dogs and they are kind of high in cholesterol. My vet didn't say anything about diseases, but said to limit them to 1 ear a month and then to watch them to make sure they don't get too excited and choke on them.

Goat hooves are another treat that my Labs love. Takes 'em about a month to chew one down to the nub.
