"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I never give my dog pig ears. One of my friends had a golden retriever and they fed them these. ONe of them got stuck in their gut and it cost them 15oo to get it out. Vet said to never give them these because there hard to digest and you can get that crazy chicken disease samonella
they shouldnt even be allowed to sell these things....I wonder how many dogs they have killed?

I don't give them to the unlost dogs, either. I worry about what that crap is basted and preserved in. My gang chew on sterilized beef bones with the marrow removed. I put a smear of peanut butter inside and they are happy, happy pups.
