My inlaws have a grocery store and awhile back this lady came into to purchase some goods. In the course of the conversation, she acknowledged the fact that I rescued a new border collie. Whatever you do she proceeded to say, don't feed your dog any of the "raw hide" products from outside the US. Why asked why, she responed that it was common practice to incorporate a small amount of arsentic into the food as a preserative and also because it tastes good to the dog. Being a science teacher, I found that hard to believe. I know the wood industry uses arsentic to preserve wood, its used in semicondutors and in industry. Anyone ever heard this claim? More inmportantly, what is the best natural product that will aid in cleaning teeth? I know I could have my vet do it,
but prefer not go that route with a young dog.
