Bright red dye on chicken flavor

On: 2008-01-17

Be warned, the chicken flavor has bright red coloring mixed in with the basted flavor. I gave this bone to my sheltie (white paws, white chin & chest fur) on a blanket to keep the dye off the carpet. I looked over at her a few minutes later to see how she was doing, and she certainly did love the chicken flavor, she was chewing with gusto.

*However*, she looked like a murderer who had just messily hacked someone to death. Seriously, and it only took a few minutes for her to look like this. Bold red coloring all over her paws, up her front legs, and all over her long chest fur, along with a little red staining the fur on the sides of her mouth. It even stained the fur between her foot pads because of the way she holds the bone in her paws, and if I didnt have dark brown carpet, that red dye wouldve been tracked all over as I led her into the kitchen for cleanup. I promptly wiped her down with a lot of baby wipes and got most of it off, except for some faint red areas. A day later, today, you can barely tell. *whew*, thank goodness.

So, because of stupid stupid coloring that companies use on dog products even though my dog certainly doesnt care what color her rawhide bone is, thats why Ive knocked 2 stars off. Really, for MY dog, Id give it one star only, but I suppose this rawhide bone will be just fine for folks who have black dogs who eat their rawhide bones outside, far far away from any light colored carpet.

Ill be sticking with the lamb & rice flavor, as it only has a very pale coloring added to the flavoring.

my dogs love these

All of the flavors are a hit with my Weimaraner! I know theres a warning on how the bones could possibly stain the carpet but weve never had any problems. They keep her occupied for a while and the price is right!
