Will these stain an off-white rug if a dog is chewing them on it? I didn't choose the living room rug-- we bought the house that way. I'd love to move away from white rawhides, though.

I think that it would be fine. If your dog loves these as much as mine, it will not take long and they disappear! They have no smell and make no mess that I am aware of.

We have an ivory rug and I find no stains . There is always a possibility of some stains because these are dried hide and there may be some grease in them . My lab usually took his outside

I'm not sure if they will stain anything white but I haven't seen any stains where my dogs chew them. I have light colored carpet where they chew them.

It did not. The dog chews an end of the stick so it is always in his mouth. It has no coloring, the reason why I purchased them.

I haven't seen any staining at all. And even better my male doesn't vomit after these like he does after chewing rawhide. They're much more expensive but the dogs love them so much better and they are better for them. I have Jack Russells, if you don't give them something to chew they will find trouble for you.

yes my shih tzu did the same thing....they really do look better more than they are good. I just hate having a wee wee pad laying on the floor.

I don't think they would be safe around pets if your dog likes to chew. You can crush them with your fingers easily which I'm sure would create enough of an edge for her to bite or chew through. The balls are durable enough for children to play but a child could easily crush the ball if that we're his intention.

On my carpets, I can see the dog urine stains with the light during the day as long as it is not in complete sunlight. You just have to hold the light a little closer (around 2 feet) from the floor. My carpets are all light to medium colors. I don't know if the results would be the same with darker colors, although I would expect it would be even easier to see the stains since they glow under the light and the contrast would be greater.

I would put a rug down instead or have the dog's nails trimmed and buffed. My dog does not care to wear the boots. He only wears them in snowy, muddy weather. I think most dogs would not want to wear them daily.

Labs (including my own) are notorious for ingesting inappropriately large pieces of whatever they're chewing. I really have to watch him with any rawhide - a couple of times almost had to Heimlich him before he gagged it up. If your dog displays any signs of lethargy or distress eliminating, definitely get him to the vet to x-ray his stomach. Most of these products have warnings about the dangers of such incidents. Thanks for the heads-up though...my guy may need to live without them, even though it looks like something he'd enjoy!

It depends on the type of material that is on your couch. I have solid cotton material on mine and the stains just won't come out. I had the couch before I got my dogs. :+( But if the material on your couch is fairly porous, it just might work and also if it is not a solid color.

My pekingese is white, and I've used this for 2 years now and have never had it stain her fur. Does that mean it won't stain white hair on another breed of dog? I can't swear to it, but I don't see why any of the ingredients in this would stain. So my answer, based on my experience, is no, it won't stain.

I do not believe these would prevent the dog from chewing, when My dog did have something bothering him, he did pull it off. Sounds like medicine is needed. Good Luck

Marissa,We use ours for our rabbits. The pads go down over vinyl or carpeting depending on the room. They are definitely more sturdy than disposable pads and not fluffy like disposables so I think they are not as much of an attraction as a chew toy, but that said, we have had some rabbits chew holes. I can't speak to puppies but I suspect puppies and rabbits are similar in terms of some things they'll chew and some things they won't - and what appeals to one puppy or rabbit may not appeal to the other.

Ours eventually came off but u could try acetone (by the nail polish remover at Walmart) & then be sure to wash their feet really good. I won't use these again, my dog hated them & I felt terrible!

The idea is to give them to the dog until they permanently get into the habit of NOT eating their stool. I've tried brands that have not worked at all. Some worked sometime but as soon as I stopped giving them to my dog he went right back to eating his stool. My last dog ate his stool from the time he was a puppy until he was 3.5 years old. Then he stopped on his own. The vet told me they sometimes "outgrow it"

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

Our dog holds the greenie to chew it. I don't see green stains on the paws but I've noticed the treat will stain light-colored carpet (dog eats on a white cloth mat, which is washed now and then).

In the beginning they were great strips of rawhides.... and then the last bag i got were square pieces 2 stuck together...Had to spend my time trying to pull those apart so my golden retriever would eat them. I haven't purchased the bag since then worried I'd get the same problem of too thick. Price had also gone up almost $5... but I see they are back down.

My Golden destroyed the fabric. He's not an aggressive chewer, I think he just likes the material, he can seriously SHRED things. I have to close my bathroom doors because he likes to eat the TP. I thought my cats would be bad, nope the Goldie is. LOL.

When I look for pet stains it usually shows up as a bright white or slightly yellow. My carpet is marbled with cream/tan/brown. Not every spot you see will be from the pet. Lint, small pieces of paper or a toddler may be the culprit. Use your new powers wisely. :)
