How do cats or dogs react to cowhide? Do they try to eat it?
– This is a tough one to answer because every pet is different. In general, dogs love cowhides and will start sleeping in the middle straight away. I have not heard of trouble with dogs eating cowhide, it is tanned so has no flavour. However puppies do tend to chew on things including leather shoes so I can’t make any promises. Most cats start off very wary of cowhide, the smell and texture is foreign to them. They walk around the edges. After they realise that a cowhide is no threat they either ignore it or start sleeping on it as well.
