I work at a pet supply store that specialises in cats and dogs. We carry only top end foods and treats (no Pedigree or Beneful here), and we do a lot of special orders. As such, you may find something here that you can't find in any of the big chain pet stores.
One of our more 'unusual' treats is a cow hoof. It's pretty basic, it's a dehydrated cow hoof with a bit of meat on top. These are great for keeping dogs teeth clean, they're pretty low odor, and they're a nice change from bully sticks. People with large dogs love them.
I will admit now, they do tend to shock people when they first see them. Here's where the funniest story I have ever had in all my years of working comes in.
SC - She's lucky she's pretty.
SCB - The boyfriend.
ME - Me.
SC and SCB come into the store looking for a new type of treat for their dog. They've already tried pigs ears and bully sticks, but they want to stay away from raw bones because of the mess. I happily take them around the store pointing out the array of treats we have, which eventually takes me to our display of cow hooves.
ME: And here we have some cow hooves, excellent for dog dental health....
SC: OH MY GOD!!
ME: ...what's wrong?
SC: Isn't that animal cruelty?!!?
ME: Not really.
SC: But how could you do that to the poor cow! How's it going to walk around without its feet?!!!
Let's just take a moment here to take that in.
Needless to say, I was knocked momentarily speechless. SCB VERY quickly grabbed his girlfriends hand and dragged her out of there.

Oh. My. Goodness! That is awesome! The best part is the BF knowing full well he's dating a ditz!
