My dog died in my arms while choking on a rawhide dog chew purchased at Petsmart. While I realize these are sold all over the country, they are dangerous in that small pieces break off while the dog is chewing and become lodged in the dogs throat. It turns out that it is all over the web that this choking hazard from these dog chews is recognized as a substantial risk and many owners will not give these to their dogs. Petsmart must have had lots of similar complaints but does not post any warnings concerning this known choking hazard. I learned the hard way. Demand that stores, such as Petsmart where I bought these mini-Dingo dog chews, remove them from their shelves or at a minimum, post large warnings so that dog owners know that they are risking their pets lives giving them these items.
