Beware of staining dog food

My dog loves the brightly coloured dog treats and chews that are made from rawhide.  You know the type, they come in weird and wonderful shapes and sizes, like miniature bones, chickens, burgers and even kebabs!

The problem, however, as I soon found in just a few months of owning a dog is that the colour the companies use can stain.  This stain is not only unsightly when it gets all over the carpet and nicely cleaned floor, but also stains the dog’s mouth.  In some cases, this might not be such a huge deal but my dog is beige and white, so a bright red or green mouth can be difficult to turn back to its initial glorious white in a hurry.  Mind you, she does look funny!

It does make me think though, what sort of colouring or flavourings are going into this treat food?  Is my dog likely to be hyper as children do with these things?
