Smart Bones

[doofershuman]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here we go.

I know we should not be giving Doofer any Rawhide bones so instead I found some called Smart Bones. They are Rawhide free. Doofer LOVES the PB flavored kind and will devour it in about a day or 2.

My concern is that I just realized the first ingredient is corn :( We are feeding him a dog food that does not contain corn so if the corn was effecting him at all what would be the signs? He does not get them every day..so far just 1 a week.

Does anyone else use these bones? Other options that are not to pricey?


**Full Ingredient List**
Corn, Chicken, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Fructose, Pork Gelatin, Peanut Butter, Barley Malt Syrup, Maltodextrin, Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Carrots, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Ferrous Sulfate, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Sulfate, Milk Flavor, Niacinamide, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Sodium Pyrophosphate, Sodium Propionate (preservative), Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Vitamin E, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Manganese Sulfate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, FD&C Red 40.

I may be wrong but I think I've seen these before. Be careful, but I think it's made in China and you just don't know what their quality control is like. Try bully sticks instead!

Not to be too preachy.....

But those things sound more like "dumb bones..." (ha) They have a lot of ingredients in there that your dog doesn't need. Many forms of sugar, filler grains, chemicals, eeesh. There are a lot of chew toys out there - you could use the Kong ones and fill them with healthier things if your pup needs "treat-y" things. I'd venture even the chicken or beef Nylabones would be better. Just my 2 cents, and no offense meant at all!
