I also need rawhide, other animal products as dog's treat. I will be selling online, I need to get these at a wholesale price for reselling purpose. Please contact me if you have any sources.

You are going about it wrong. You can't start a business until you have a product and a business license.
Contact meat suppliers in your area. Also consider the legal requirements for selling pet foods / supplies for each state / country.
Before investing a lot of money into your business, I suggest you take some business classes first.

first things first. do you have a retail license if not you will not be able to purchase wholesale. Then when you order from them you pay shipping which gets the cost up there more. Pig ears for example you would make maybe 10-15 cents to beat the price of pet store chains and keep you shipping prices low enough for people to purchase them instead of runnnig to the stor.
Same thing with the rawhide. The rumor is that the rawhide absorbs liquid in the stomach and bloats the dog. Yes of they are a small dog and eat a 10 inch roll ya they will get sick. BUt if you place the rawhid in water you will find that it doesn't bloat as much as some people make you think they do. Trust me I know as I soak the knots that are left in the sink and unroll them to get more use out of them.
lastly there are several ma & pa internet stores out there, so that is yet another thing to look at.
Those that gave petedge.com is not a wholesale company though they like to make people believe it. The only true wholesale companies out their require a license to purchase from them. Do you think pet store chains buy from petedge or any of the like? No because pet edge sells for the same price as most pet chain stores.

alot of warehouses like Sams club and costco have dog treats, but you can get bags of pig ears at walmart and Petsmart. Get the name of the manufactuer off the back of the bag. Otherwise go to www.petmeds.com. They also sell dog treats.

Don't u know the rawhide and UN-DIGESTABLE treats will KILL our beloved pets and just because it will entertain them for awhile is NOT reason to feed them to those poor beloved pets.y not sell good reinforced hard rope toys or something u know will grab interest of petowner when u label it SAFE FOR YOUR PETS..

There is also the question of pesticides and other toxins that may be in them if they are imported from other countries.
