Ban the production and sale of rawhide

Closed 309 signatures

What the petition asks

Rawhide can be dangerous. It’s hard to digest and can remain in their system causing blockages and has been known to kill. It’s a by-product of the leather industry, Rawhide isn’t meat, it’s a leather chew. It can cause teeth breakage when pressed or glued as it can be very dense and hard.
So many dog owners don’t realise how Rawhide is produced and aren’t aware of the potential dangers. Rawhide has no nutritional benefit but can contain toxic chemicals. I believe Rawhide poses a massive risk to dogs and therefore should be banned.
