Show your support to stop shops and online stores selling rawhide dog chews.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Choking or blockages. Rawhide bones edible chews can pose a choking and blockage risk. In fact, this is a much bigger risk than contamination or digestive irritation. If your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide, the rawhide can get stuck in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition asking for the sale of rawhide dog treats in the UK to be banned, if that's what you would like to happen.
