  for ethical sourcing or full disclosure on the
  labels.

of cow and horse hide which is often procured
from tanneries as by-products of the meat and
leather industry. Often, these chews contain
heavy traces of toxic chemicals. These can be so
dangerous that even humans are at a risk of being
infected by dangerous bacteria from just being in

the most popular treat among dogs and there are

situation.
