Is rawhide fattening?

If a dog chews down the rawhide they're ok, if they are ripping big pieces off and swallowing them, that's no good.
 
Yep, well mine eat the whole thing.

Talking to the osteospecialist today and he thought rawhide would certainly carry protein calories. So I worked out (and this is based on human metabolism of calories) - 1gm of protein = 4 calories & 1gm fat = 9 cal. Venison ear is about 37gm and 96% fat free. So that adds up to 155calories per ear. Whoops.

Caro, it doesn't matter who or what eats something, the calories in protein, carbs, and fat are the same.
