• Lena (Penny Forever) Posted : 3/12/2006 9:06:58 AM I personally wouldn't give any of my babies pig ears. I have never heard of raw pig ears but I would be afraid of bacteria. There are much better treats to give you baby, mainly raw bones. I give mine lamb and goat stew bones and shanks and they love them. They chew on them for hours.They have never gotten an upset tummy or the poops from them. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 3/12/2006 10:05:56 AM Nope, not if there is a solution added I wouldn't.   the ONLY way my guys are gonna get pigs ears if I find a farmer who will chop them off for me after butchering and I bring 'em home and roast them myself..... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• outdoorschik Posted : 3/12/2006 12:40:52 PM Ewwww... just had a mental picture of hairy pigs ears in your oven under the broiler lol.... though that would be the only way I'd feed them myself .. I don't think I'd have the stomach to roast my own~! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• marlania Posted : 3/12/2006 2:51:17 PM I've given raw pig ears twice, but they were straight from the company store and there was no solution added. (When we moved here, the only job my husband could find was at a pork factory...never ate so much pork in my life lol). Anyway, they sell just about everything in the company store, so one day Brett picked up a pack of 4 for like a dollar. I wasn't sure what to do with it, and I knew it wouldn't last long with my two, so I threw them in the freezer for a while to make them a little more challenging.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Else Godkin Posted : 3/12/2006 5:43:16 PM I've given mine pig ears but they wern't dipped in anything  The dogs loved them frozen.  I've also bouth pig feet and they are also a big hit as are the tails, but they can be quite fatty..  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• losinsusan Posted : 3/12/2006 8:08:34 PM My dog when younger had pig ears and got strange with them.  He didn't eat them but liked to dig up the place trying to bury it.  It got annoying to find that disgusting thing under our pillows when we crawled into bed at night.  He would growl and act totally odd with them.  Guarding them etc.  It brought out his inner wild animal side I guess!  I stopped buying them right away.  Some dogs I have heard get a runny stool from them because they are quite greasy.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Liz Posted : 3/12/2006 10:06:54 PM Glenda, have you ever roasted a pig before?   If you don't scrape ALL the hair off - Ew!  Smells like someone got their hair caught in the dryer!   Shaving a pig - yum!  (not) 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 3/13/2006 11:54:05 AM On our first anniversary (many, many years ago) DH and I drove from San Diego to Mexico City.  While we were stopped in some very remote little village we saw a little boy about 10 or so with a platter of pig skins that he was selling - not the little crunchy ones that you can buy in the stores.  These were about the size of a plate and still had a lot of the stiff hairs in them.  We decided to pass on lunch there![:'(] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jeano Posted : 3/13/2006 3:29:47 PM I wouldn't feed raw pork to my dogs because of trichinosis. I always make sure pork is 100% cooked for me and my dog! When I eat pork chops, she gets a bite now and then. [] I avoid those cooked/dried pig ears in the feed store because I suspect they are just crawling with bacteria, and besides that, they're just too gross for me! Yeeeeecccccchhhhhhhh. [:'(] The hairy chicharones you saw in Mexico, that's so funny! Does anyone remember singe-ing a chicken over a candle flame before cooking, burning off all the leftover feathers? That's how my mom taught me to prepare chicken long ago. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
