Toxic Dog Treats

To many people dogs are more than just mans best friend, they’re family. If you take care of your family with the best nutrition and supplements available, doesn’t it make sense that you do the same for your pets? I just learned about a dog treat that you probably give your dogs that could actually be harming them…rawhide.



Did you know that most rawhide for dogs is commonly cured with formaldehyde? Formaldehyde is a chemical that is very toxic to both humans and animals. Formaldehyde’s effects are so toxic that the Agency for Research on Cancer has classified it as “carcinogenic to humans.” Rawhide also has the tendency to swell in a dog’s stomach, which can lead to life threatening intestinal problems for your pup.



At Basic Foods, we carry rawhide for dogs that is 100% formaldehyde free. Instead, our rawhides are cured with salt and lime. Because our rawhide is formaldehyde free, you don’t have to worry that your dog’s stomach might swell when eating it. We also have many different kinds of dog treats and dog jerky. With the holidays coming up, pamper your four-legged friend by buying him the healthiest dog treats around!
