Rawhide Treats and Bones
We occasionally give our Cairn Terriers rawhide bones and treats. However, we never give them access to any type of rawhide when we are not around or cannot be right there to watch them while they chew or eat it.
Rawhide bones can become soft and pliable. They are especially dangerous when they are small, becasue they can lodge in a dog's throat and choke them if they are unsupervised. When a rawhide bone becomes small or too wet (as we like to refer to it), it is thrown away.
This sometimes requires us to distract tour Cairn Terriers until the rawhide is removed. We usually distract them by initiating some play activity. It might seem cruel in a way, but it is for their best interest and health that anything they could choke on be removed quickly.
If you give your Cairn Terrier rawhide products, please be sure to do so only under supervision. Never give a Cairn a rawhide bone and leave the house.
During those times when we cannot supervisor our Cairns with rawhide bones, I give them Choo Hooves instead.
