ABSTRACT:
A chew product for use by animals is made of skin such as rawhide or pigskin. The skin is infused with chlorophyll or mint or both to freshen a dog's breath and also with sugar to increase palatability. The interior portion of the skin can be perforated, such as by cutting, before the skin is formed into a product. The perforations allow a dog's teeth to penetrate into the product and be scraped clean by the edges of the perforations. The skin is dyed green from the chlorophyll. The dyed skin can be used either alone or in conjunction with another color skin to make a product. The dyed skin and a bleached white skin combine to make an attractive product.
