Rawhide chews are usually given to dogs to satisfy their urges to chew and keep them busy. Cat owners may wonder if they can give rawhide to their cats, too. Rawhide is widely debated as unsafe for dogs, with many pet food companies now providing safer alternatives. Since it’s potentially unsafe for a dog, it should not be given to a cat. But if you find that your cat is chewing on your dog’s rawhide treat, it’s not something that you need to be worried about.
