Camel Skins

I have one dog who is a very heavy chewer. I want him to have a good long chew but it can cost me £5-10 at the local pet shop for a chew that lasts more than 5 minutes. The camel skin took him over 20 minutes which is about the best value I've found. It was too hard for my other dog who did have a bit of a chew on it but then have him the rest to finish off (she's a staffie but she has 2 teeth missing so that's probably why). So maybe avoid this if you have a dog with dental pain, missing teeth, puppy or a small dog- but for heavy chewers it seems very good.

I bought these after my 4 and half month old retriever puppy had another brand of camel chews, the ones ordered from B&B did not break down as easily and felt exceptionally hard but it wasn’t a concern at the time.

I gave my puppy this chew over two evenings , the first evening he chewed a gummy end and the long end of the chew was solid, the second evening my puppy was happily chewing, I looked away for a split second and he’d swallowed the lot, At least a 10cm rock solid end of camel skin.

After a video call with our vets, they were worried the size of the chew and its hardness may not digest in pups stomach. A very expensive trip to the emergency vet and induced vomiting later, the chew thankfully came out. We were told that the chew wouldn’t have been digested and would’ve caused serious damage to his intestines if we didn’t seek vet help, fortunately he was able to vomit it up, but surgery would’ve been required if he didn’t.

Unfortunately little man has been told by his vets it’s safer for him to avoid chews like this for the foreseeable future.

This is no way aimed at the bohdi and birch tree as a poor review against the company as I will continue to buy from them(just not the chews hahaha ) but a plea to owners, be vigilant , watch your dogs when they’re chewing , if your dog is small or a puppy, or like my degenerate and they will swallow it whole, this chew might not be the best choice for you.
