I give my dogs rawhide. I've never had a problem. I buy the big rolls, or the pressed rawhide, because it lasts longer and is harder. I throw them away when they get small enough to swallow. My dogs, however, just chew on them for a while, and then leave them. They don't go wild, trying to eat them.
My sister's dog aren't allowed to have rawhide, though, because they try to get them just soft enough to swallow them whole. That would be bad news! I think it depends a lot on the dog whether they should have them or not.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
