Earth Animal No Hide Salmon Chews

[Debbie and Toby]

I know there were discussions before as to whether or not these chews were safe, at the time we did determine they were safe. I have recently read articles that they are not safe, the advertising is misleading and different sources have determined these are made of hide....any thoughts on these? Toby loves them, always supervised, and only gets one occasionally. Now I am doubting if he should have these as I would never give him rawhide, and I am afraid now that is what these might be...

Thanks Debbie!  I must say that these articles are disturbing. I have been giving them to my Bailey with no adverse reactions so far.  I always sit with her and watch while she eats them.  She loves them!   I guess I will think twice about buying them again. :>(

Here is a couple articles I stumbled across:

Here is Earth Animal's statement regarding the accusations:

I went to our local Three Dog Bakery yesterday, they are very much into healthy, safe and home made dog friendly treats. They sell these, I explained my concerns to them and they assured me they are safe, and are not "hide". I only give these to Toby occasionally, and only under direct supervision!

I am by no means saying these are unsafe, or are "hide", I am just concerned because of articles I have recently read. I just want to be sure that Toby is not getting rawhide. I guess at this point I still want to believe that they are safe, I only let Toby have one for a few minutes at a time as a special chew treat. When I first saw these at the pet store, I was so excited that there was a "safe" chew treat for him! I am hoping he can still have these.

Debbie,  would you please tell us where the articles that you read can be found?  A while back, I spoke to the company on the phone and was assured that the product is not hide.  I would be interested in reading what you found. Thanks!
