Question
Is it bad to feed my Lab rawhide bones? We also let him have human food (hamburger, chicken, scrambled eggs). Is this badd???

Answer
Rawhide is fine but it's a chew that's best done under supervision.  Some dogs will gulp the last piece down, so it could lodge in their throat or cause problems in their tummy.  You will have to decide that with your dog.  I have one that will swallow the last piece and he's not allow certain kinds of rawhide because of that.  

Human food is fine, but in limited amounts.  Make it a treat or a topper on his regular meal.
