Question
I have a cattle dog and he is 50 lbs.  I just noticed when I gave him those mini dingo treat, he will swallow in whole.  Can dog's stomach digest that?

Answer
I am not familiar with them.  If they are a rawhide like material and very big, maybe the size of your thumb, it is very risky.  Treats don't need to be very big.  You should also avoid anything that doesn't soften up when moistened.  Rawhide is very dangerous because inside the dog, it swells, perhaps choking the dog or blocking its digestive tract.
