<P>dogs and cause abdominal obstructions or splinters in the mouth and throat, and other not</P>
<P>so savory, very expensive sounding problems.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>That being said, I do believe treat makers are only out for the money and will sell anything</P>
<P>they think you will buy. My son bought my dogs some cooked bones, and gave them to the</P>
<P>dogs after his work one night, late. The next morning I found really, really sharp splinters and</P>
<P>shards of bone that could almost cut my hands! They were awful! I was horrified that one of the </P>
<P>dogs would have a problem (which they didn't, thank heavens). But I watched them for about a week</P>
<P>to make sure and checked all their poo (great fun). I also told my son NEVER to buy those again. </P>
<P>I could not believe they were actually selling something like that, but they were. </P>
