My dog has a sensitive stomach. Are natural pig ears safe? Any cons?

My dog had parvo when he was a puppy so he has a sensitive stomach. I’ve never really given him many treats but since he’s getting older I thought I’d give it a try. Are there any cons to giving him all natural pig ears? And specific recommendations on them?

natural pig ears are usually a good option also on a point of view of potential allergies, i do not see any cons unless you discover after giving it that your dog is allergic or doesn't react well to it. do start slowly and give him 2 a week to start with.
