« on: December 29, 2005, 10:18:55 pm »
I just went out and bought bear  pigs ears as treats for training,bear devoured his in something under 2 minutes,the boxer/pit cross devoured his in about 6 minutes,full grown,small, verry strong jaws but doesn't know how to control them as bear does,not to say there won't alway's be blood when you play with a newfie  HA! ,I gave bear another one,again,under 2 minutes,I wonder, can anybody give me any feedback on pigs ears?

We used to give our Bear pig ears and he woud eat the first one and hide the rest so we stopped buying them. From what I have heard though, I don't think that they are that good for your dog's belly.

Tulsa LOVES them. But she also likes Jalapenos too.
I think it's a Love/Hate thing with dog tummies.
She only gets one a day though, everything in moderation.

Rosie got one pigs ear every night after dinner. As soon as we would give it to her she would run lay down under her pear tree and enjoy every last bite.  Come to find out during the last month or so  of her life my hubby was giving her a pig ear in the morning.  I know that it added a few extra pounds but I would not take a single ear back they were a joy for her.  Sugar Bear and Dixie get Chicken Jerky and pupcorn as a bed time treat.
