The sprouts you find on potato's are especially toxic. Also, if you come across a green spot on a potato, it is also especially toxic (to dogs and humans). Dogs have a low threshold for SOLANINE, which is what is in potato skins and sprouts. COOKING DOES NOT CHANGE THE FORM OF SOLANINE!!<br /><br />As little as a few potato Jory & Malukh Van Antwerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953670179630704906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112548562399455064.post-77803248523637055382011-06-10T07:16:07.217-04:002011-06-10T07:16:07.217-04:00Hi Jack, thanks for barking in!

I didn't know rawhides were dangerous, but now that I do, I will be switching. The only reason I give my dogs rawhides is because if I don't give them something to chew, they'll chew things they aren't supposed to! So.. hopefully these will work as a great substitute for the rawhides. And keep them entertained just Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810993927507148343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112548562399455064.post-56966182555738368202009-11-12T18:49:49.887-05:002009-11-12T18:49:49.887-05:00Welcome everyone!!!
